I went for a cruise with the Stagea guys up Arthurs seat when it was a nice crisp 36 degrees.
I was following a stag up the seat fairly closely and the fan was on nearly full time (no airflow due to a hot air making barge up the front) and I was ringing the SR's neck. Temps stayed below 90 which was good.

Picked up and fitted a few more goodies tonight in preparation for summer. Lately ive become more aware of how noisy my fuel pump is, especially in the hot weather. On one occasion i was stopped at a set of lights and the guy next to me asked if everything was ok, granted it was a 35 degree day in traffic, but still it didnt seem right. Did a little bit of investigation and found something that surprised me, the surge tank in my system was getting quite warm. The small volume surge tank doesnt dissipate the heat as well as the main tank and it is this fuel which is feeding the main pump. With this in mind, i thought id trial something to see if it makes any difference. I picked up dual pass, inline transmission fluid cooler which i am using as a fuel cooler. Hot fuel from the rail passes through the cooler before returning to the surge tank. If i can keep the fuel cool, im hoping to reduce the heat being transferred to the main pump. Not sure if it will work as intended, but after researching i found it is quite common in diesel cars.
Also fitted up a knocklink detonation sensor, finishing off the LED install tomorrow.

Trying to soften the carbon look of the BRE spook lip. Not sure if i like it yet. Should i go further in with the orange and do the ducts too?

Freaken Tough.

Looks great! I want one of those spoilers so bad. I think your old simmons would have set it off, what ever happened to those?

Thanks for the votes of confidence... Deciding how to mount it permanently now, think I will use some m6 nut-serts. Going to reinforce the spoiler's mounting lip first by giving it an extra layer or fibre glass.

I'm in negotiations with the boss about buxton. Should be there, doubt the lip will be on tho.

Tones, I'm going to be taking the Stag. Wish I could take the Datto...
