What've you got planned bud?

Hi mate, Hows life?

Realy hoping to sort the flat floor at last, Meth injection or something a long those lines, should see her over 700bp (fly) and running safer.
Then hope to free up some funds for lighter wheels

Poss Carbon bonnet too

What do the guys fitting it say about them? I know some GT500 guys in the states moan that they add weight and don't help much compared to a decent heat exchanger. I know they only work at idel / cruse (basically when the AC is working) so aren't great if you track them. Could work for drag racing though!

I'm also getting one at some point although a lot depends on how much Monkfish are charging for them. Since I topped up my chargecooler header tank, intake temps never go above 120 deg F, and that's at WOT for long periods. Most of the time IATs are in the 80s and I'm running 14psi boost too.

Mark, when you've had it fitted I'd be interested to see the results.

Will let you know as soon as its done
I know PhilW had some good results with his VXR8.
I dont track my car, mainly fast road and the odd drag

Track rod ends have arrived, so will pop down in a bit

[007 VXR]

Bangs abit me over the bumps now the track rod ends have been done, Neil ?
Gear box better when warm, but still bad when cold. Clutch fluid next, see if this helps

Track rods won't effect the suspension like that
Can have a look when doing the clutch fluid
