Why is it pink?
Exactly who are Jaguar trying to appeal to.
They still produce cars though, so there's that...Well, that's debatable. If 4 wheels hung off a 1970's design still counts as a car, then you are, of course, right
I wouldn't take anything valuable on track, we have an old Saxo for it. Even at 750kg plus fat git driving I cooked a set of tyres.
there's the potential for doing about £10k of wear and tear damage... Notwithstanding any accidental contact or off roading.Tell me about it - a new plastic front grill costs £580 and that was just cracked by someone carelessly parking in front of me. New rear windscreen (double glazed) £2K.
How safe they are depends entirely on how well organised they are and the mindset of the other drivers.Thanks good idea, I had a quick look on youtube and it has put me off, looks like stock car racing with the added thrill of many drivers with enthusiasm beyond experience, eg this video at Castel Combehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NMdX6pb33s.
My advice would be to go along and spectate at an event first and decide if you'd be happy driving.
To keep up I think I would get through a full set of tyres. Would be much happier on my own on a track in the rain.
There was some variation with the thickness of the thermostat housing casting. Whether that variation extends to the seal as well I couldn't say, but it's been a while.
And to echo Stemos point, it's easy to get wrapped up in something to no benefit.
Yesterday refitted the transfer pipe and bastid bolt. Just now went out and pressure tested the system and its leaking around the Stat at 5psi.:'(
So need to start the job over again. I m not going to use gasket goo this time if I can help it.
I found what I think is a rubber seal for the Stat housing among my O rings yesterday, but if it turns out not to be the right one, I will probably just buy a whole new housing.
The other problem is going to be the transfer pipe seals.
Are they available separately ? If so where from ? Anyone got a part number for them please ?
Might be worth posting that request up separately I suppose.
Oh, yeah, if you think Samsung's bad, don't buy a Sony whatever you do.My stupid, useless Samsung TV.That's Samsung and Sony then.
30s to change channels earlier. Poxy, useless piece of shit
