Default Next update....

All seems ok mechanically apart from the fuel pressure gauge or reg situation....The car feels lovely boosted her up to 5psi to 4000rpm and it felt quick ...The 7.9-1 comp ratio is nice for guts below boost ....Had a fit today in traffic though..saw 200f on the water temp gauge and i couldnt work out how hot that was as i am used to centigrade not fareheit ....I thought has my head gasket gone?LOL....As soon as i was moving temp went back down...phew....So i got home and left it running and running till the fams came on...they do so at 205f...what is that in proper money?...Temp goes down nicely...Cossie paranoia.. ...Only other issue is the fooking clutch...6 paddle job and it bites really low and is horrible...nothing like in my other saf with the same... Was told to use the Escos rachet setup....but i have a feeling the original cable is stretched...feasable?????Will try new cable first...still drives nice but is difficult pulling away especially on a hill!

boiling point for water is 100C, so i'd say your readings are either very wrong, or very worrying!!
