I got through the last 2 summmers here in Adelaide but this one I have replaced the radiator (the top tank split) and the car is waiting on a new turbo but apart from that it is a great car.

It can be a bit sluggish in the heat I just dont boost it that hard.

Never had to regas aircon and it is still super cold

And car never ran hot except for the radiator problem

I think a bigger intercooler is a must for next summer

Aaron, puhleeeeeeze don't get Andy started on a water spray for the intercooler

Andy get started! lol

I would only want it to spray as Im accelerating, or in a more proper way to come on when i get to 10psi.

but is it gonna give me much of a gain seeing as the temp sensor is in the AFM? which will back the timing out if its hot anyway..

run a hose into the washer bottle and use that one. or piss off the rear washer hose and use that motor.

or put in a valve to activate the front spray instead of going to the rear.

there are plenty of options!

mmm.... all controlled by the factory stalk.

I like.

Plus the way the rear dribbles water out is practically useless anyway.

LOL

I await flaiming for this.

I found a very small twig off a tree, and strategically shoved it in the nozzle of the jet. My luck it sprayed perfectly around the window and wiper, until it fell out and went back to the useless dribble.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
