Now I have finally found where the oil temp gauge is in the EDI, what is a good temp to get to before booting it?

it's not just going for an mot wink

i am taking it to 1 of the only 2 or 3 garages in the uk that can read the ecu that is fitted to it banghead

she is getting plugged in and put on the dyno,up on the ramps and given a good going over and a couple of issues i know about looked at.
the only reason its getting mot'd is it runs out on the wednesday so just getting it done aswell smile

i will probably have to leave the car there and get the train back up the road,car is definately not running 100% frown

thought i would have some fun and just say going over 300 miles to get my mot done paperbag

idea anybody got a time machine i can borrow? can go back a year and would have my vxr8 again laugh

Go out, drive about for a bit and see what temperature it settles at. Should give you a reasonable idea at least!
