Decent tyres (R888's, A048's etc), decent suspension (chage arb, solid rear beam mounts, bilsteins or something similar) decent LSD or Quaife ATB diff, decent front pads (Mintex 1155's or similar) with dot 5.1 fluid + braided lines.Would be the things i'd look at if starting again. ________________________________________ 2.1 16v 306 Rallye. |

There are non-thermostatic ones by mocal too which are cheaper, but they make it take much longer to get the oil up to temp and thats a bad thing. I've not read anywhere about people plumbing into the standard heat exchanger, the thermostatic sandwich plate does sit between that and the oil filter though. ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |
