Nice weather ...

[Jack Valiant]

So had a final tidy up and clean up of 500i ready for the Belgium trip and this summer's



New aluminium radiator and heavy duty fans now in







Injectors ultrasonically cleaned and new fuel pump fitted so most jobs now done for the moment. Dyno run was just shy of 300 BHp so well pleased, roll on more of this good weather!

Chimaera high efficiency ally radiator with modification to mounting lugs to suit the Wedge. Heavy duty Kenlows with seperate relays for each fan. Home made overide switch and operation indicator LED on the steering column surround. Whole system is driven by the temp sensor fitted to the bottom of the coolant swirl-pot rather than the old radiator otter system. Got everything off the shelf from Dan Taylor as we wanted to make the system similar to available Chim bits for the future.
