  1. Hi mate, Colder thermostat makes no difference once you are over the rated temp. Once it's open, it's open. Colder thermostat delays this slightly though but in my experience at a track day, the engine block heat soak never allows temps to get back to under 80-85 without a 2 hour break. (Ambient dependant) To answer your questions: I've used 2 X 55mm PWR radiators, 1 X Fenix, 1 X Chinese ebay radiator and 2 stock. PWR seems to be the best but 1st one died due to stray current (possibly poor installation or crash causing rubbing: metal/metal) PWR suck with warranty. Fenix are awesome with warranty but don't make for FG anymore. BF ok though. Check end bracket fittings though as quality varies. My second PWR 55mm V8 one is going fine but very close to belt/fans. Works better shrouded in heat proof foam and spacer at back of bonnet. Manual thermos fan over ride switch is currently working for me keeping coolant temps under 85deg in staging pit area. Re: Engine oil coolers. Highly recommended. Mine sits behind fog light with a thermos fan pulling air through. Switch on manually usually on 2nd session of a track day. More complicated relay versions are available that turn on automatically at a preset temp but I like to keep it reliable and simple. Redline water wetter and Purple Ice didn't really do much. The real secret is..................go in winter. Take a big floor mounted fan and drive about 5kms up the road at low rpm 100kmh after a session for adequate cool down. I'll be at Wakefield with a few other XR6T May 30th with Trackschool. Can you make it? Feel free to PM me too.

  3. Looks awesome Got as far north as Townsville on the bike - didn't have time to go further before we had to catch up with others on the Gold Coast. Is that a day trip for you or overnight?

  8. So do I, but life priorities and available funding have meant going in a different direction, for now.

  9. Keith, surely it'd just work out cheaper long term to sell the red car and sort whatever you need to with the F6 and actually drive the thing?

  10. Had my Nitto Invo's on for nearly a week now coming off Michelin PS3. Grip is incredible, traction is probably a touch better than how it was stock which is great for 290rwkw now. I foot down at 80 in the wet (big safe country road) and only turned the tyre for a split second, I'd think twice about doing that in the DRY with the Michelins. Handling also a big improvement, they ride so smooth they're putting my front P-zero's to shame. Awesome stuff.
