mikey4410 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) poor dude in a fiesta hit the gravel trap and rolled his car at paddock hill.he was ok though. anyway........................... the car performed superbly, luckily the track dryed right out hour and half before the end so i was genuinely flat out and pedal to the floor. as i said earlyier i was 98 db static test but yet never got flagged for noise on drivebys and the limit was 92 db drive by. the car intake temps were back to being 45 degrees which was constant so a more effiecient intercooler is defo a muct if i do it again. AMBIENT TEMPS WERE 15 DEGREES.oil sat at circa 80-90 degreesboost was consistent and faultless with my manual boost controller and ebay wastegate.well happy with that.rad temps went to 98 degrees and didnt really change from that,gotta remember i DO have water lines to turbo . nankang tyres were epicly good,very impressed with those,sidewalls are stiff as hell...i ran 29 psi in those and they did get some lovely heat into ,also the brakes mintex 1155 were superb also after having a heat cycle to the point they were heavily smoking and discs were glowing lol,DIDNT suffer brake fade which is great news. so to sumerise i need a much better intercooler and possibly a dual core rad. pics and vids will be up soon Edited April 30, 2015 by mikey4410 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikey4410 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) those curb marks were on there when I bought them and paid £30, thats why I sprayed em black.I am STILL running the n/a gearbox .its done well. did have an issue with going into second 6 months or so ago , that has apparently self healed and now the only issue is the crunch into third which u can hear in the brands video above.
