He's on a T38 UT type i think

Ronni: The power steering cooler is it fine to just run normal silicon 10mm hose for the cooler part and the standard metal pipes for the rest of it?

Thanks for all of the comments

John ask beefy mate he can tell you all you need to know

Brammer I wouldn't use silicone hose as the fluid will eat it away. I used high pressure oil pipe. From the metal pipe from the rack and then out from the cooler straight in to the pas tank

Did you get things added to your rolling road bill Also think you need to look at your afr readings could be improved on. Good note- nice power and curve Torque reading/ number?

I cant even look at the Aim dash when driving the car, its hard enough trying to focus out the windscreen

The onlything I have in line with my eyes is a BIG red led for oil pressure when that lights up it burns a whole in the back of your head!

Its been eventful thats for sure lol

currently around 200 points behind as the big end bearings let go on the first event at oulton park but we did manage to get 80 points, we got the engine put back together for the second round but we could not get it mapped in time so that one was a no go
we now have a new tuner in place and with brands just around the corner and being a double header Ron could find himself back in the lead
