Which upgrade next then ?

[nick heppinstall]

I've been contemplating my next upgrade. Soooo .... I think it will be either a brake upgrade or a cooling upgrade. She constantly runs at about 90' and it would be nice to see it in the 80's. Any ideas how much for the brake upgrade or the cooling system upgrade ? Not sure which one to go for first though !

Running temperature is spot on so forget that. Go for better brakes but I don't know which is best.

But when the engine is optimised to run at 90, why would you want it to run colder? 90 just isn't a problem. 110 is a problem

I'd go for better brakes, you may not need them, but one day, when you're heading toooo fast towards that corner, wouldn't you rather think 'lets try these new brakes', rather than 'I'm going to go through that hedge, but at least the engine's nice and cool'

And for the shear hell of it a plenum insulator.......as well.......

I've just got a 'thing' about overheating engines ! If I'm giving it some stick it will rise to just below the red. I'm paranoid. OK brakes it is then. Options / Prices / Advice people ?

Cheers

An oil cooler would be good for track days, 400se style; you may need to rig up the plumbing so that it can be by-passed for everyday use. Try Richard Thorpe or Tower View for brake ideas.
