My oil cooler alone was £335.00.

if you buy one dont buy cheap as a faulure will take your engine and would not think you would want a repeat of last year.

:agreed:

A couple of pics with a proper camera.....I love opening my bonnet now!

Can you buy clear bonnets anywhere?:nod:

Mocal are a decent make & at that money....... buy it. :drive:

Seems a good buy

Just through the left vent and natural air from underneath, stew says should be more than enough there

Do you have an oil temp gauge, if so monitor it and if you think you need more cold air, you can always add :)

I do yes m8

Hi Tim looking really good:10:
I like manifold,manifold looking nuts...



Jura

Good find:razz:

its for bugs though so may not follow the profile of your bumper but what do i know !.

Cheers for that Chris, good find.

Dave has mad a vent through the arch on mine but not too low as to cause problems with the brakes.

I do like those vents though and may well have a couple of those :ok:

I've seen the new look hongkongfooi engine today and its:




:worthy::worthy:





:10::10::10:

Thanks for the kind comments peeps8-)

Saw it in Stews he does a nice job, how's the running in going?

Very nice indeed mate:10::worthy:

getting there 300miles done already:tumbleweed:

Keep going :drive:

450 miles done....anybody know if I exceed the 500 miles by a bit before the oil change if it will damage anything?

You need to get bang on 500 mles for best results.
When you raise the car to drop the oil make sure you don't spin the wheels as that will push you past the 500 ;)......[ADD SMILEY FOR BEING ANAL]

Nearly half way......then your on the home straight.

come on mate not far to go !! first 500 did not take too long though driving at 3k rpm not so funny

Seriously? Oh well might have to dive into smd Friday after work then!

Yeh Seriously, the other option, if you go over 500 is to reverse it to where the oil change is being done ;).....

You funny guy:tumbleweed::more:

I hope you have been giving it some serious stick Mr fooi ? :twisted:

I will do after the end of the month nige

Why at the end of the month? ;-)

Love your engine bay mate :-)

I did about 750 miles on the running in oil, before moving to fully synth 10-50 and starting to give it more boost/throttle. I was running 0.5 bar and 3.5K rev limit but used lot's of overrun as advised by JGM to bed rings properly up to the oil change. After the oil change it was 'normal' service resumed by the map still had a 0.8 bar boost limit and a 5K rev limit until the syvecs was fitted.

You don't want to glaze the bores mate :drive:
