okay so today... id like to say a big thanks to Paul Franklin​ for hosting a cracking day and pointing me in the right direction along with Ian Jones​... the car performed really well all day, few hiccups but overall great


after 10 we did 3 sighting laps, after the 3rd lap it overheated massively and i shut it down cue Scott Dinsdale​ and his dad coming in, after letting it cool down we removed the thermostat bled the system again and we were back in business


went out and had a few sessions, realised that the tyres weren't upto much and on more discussion im thinking a good set of proxies or r888r's.


lunch came and went and Tom Alder​ came down to have a blast out, so after around 4-5 laps in the temperature gauge went through the roof, so i shut it down and took it over to the side of the track bled the system again but it had thrown all of its coolant into the expansion bottle, Game over, the car wouldn't cool at all, dropped most of its coolant out and decided to put more in but it just wouldn't come down, decided to rap in and call it a day with a steady drive home however, on the way home it cooled and stayed at a steady 1/2 way with no overheating at all (odd) more diagnosis to follow hopefully ill get Ian Walley​ to have alook tomorrow and give me the bad news :(


thanks to everyone that helped today! :) Really appreciate it! Video's up laters!
