I dont know why, but didnt consider them suffering in that heat, so thanks for pointing that out. I was only in the car for a few minutes, with a fire jacket, neck brace, gloves & I was cooking faster than a mad chef. So, I can only imagine how hot they were.

I dont have a problem, being turned off the track, but did feel they were a little over zealous on the 2nd time for the drip of water from somewhere.

I will live & learn, next time I hopefully should be better prepared & wont have a need to be pushed back.

Still a great weekend & enjoyed meeting up & having a good chin wag.

Well new water temp sensors (ordered spare) should be here in the next week or so.

Also ordered a higher rated CFM electric fan (3,000CFM) Which I hope helps with cooling. I also want to check the flow rate on the w/pump, to make sure its pumping what it should. I have got the feeling I am also getting/creating air locks so will look at a way of installing some kind of bleed system.

Dropped car of the paint shop today, but wont be able to give any progress reports till I come back from Poland, which will be in about 3 weeks time. Painter says, he needs 3-4 weeks, so works out well for me.

Still staying or should I say, going with Sublime, Satin black Hood & Black billboards. Vision I have seems but guess time will tell.

Then next step is to organise to get car on a rolling road, for some further tuning. Expensive way to sort the car out, but would rather have the opportunity to try & sort car out in a session, as opposed to constant Test N Tunes. Result will utlimately be the same, just quicker (I hope )

Soumds great Mark, look forward to seeing the paint on

umm will look the muts

Lets face it, its gonna look whatever colour you paint it!

I did think you were going for triple black tho

I was seriously considering Triple Black. Body work has to be spot on, to get good results in Black. I was concerened with the amount of additional work required to achieve that result, which ultimately equals extra $$$$$$$'s

I like nice paint, but only to the extent where I think the cost is reasonable. I would sooner spend that hard earned cash on something that would give a reliabilty or performance enhancement. The additional $$$'s cost avoided, can go towards a new set of struts

I also had to take into consideration that 60% of my bodywork is fibreglass, which is never a stable material. Hence me going for a bright colour , as these tend to be more forgiving.

I think Sublime will be superb

Mark, you can paint your car any colour you like and it will still look awesome, personally I like White with Black bill boards

How about white with turqoise billboards
