A grease would be better, just use sparingly or 3in1 oil. WD will give a short term fix but will need regular top up and will probably drive some of the old grease out...

Thanks shenley. Hopefully they will fit, there's talk on some of the US forums of shaving the edges down which is not something I want to do....

Hi Mark. I've found lots of info saying the touring wheels fit and just assumed that the rays would as they are less chunky but I've found a few saying they don't. I'll have to get a template made and check... Don't really want to add spacers.

Yes, chargespeed rear bumper, not sure about the front....

Think rt performance did the bodywork....

Yes lubricate the pivot in the red box. Do not spray carb cleaner on anything in that picture.....

Could it be snagging on the carpet?

Strange as the throttle is fly by wire, there isn't really anything that would cause the peddal to get stiffer, all the moving parts are in the driver's footwell.... Maybe the pedal mechanism is binding up a bit, have you tried a bit of spray oil on the pedal pivot...

Looks like Peters car, haven't seen him on here for ages....

I may have made a c*** up. I've got an akebono brake kit to fit to my 350. Will this kit fit under standard rays? Everyone I spoke to seemed confident they would but i've found a few threads on other forums that suggest they dont. Anyone running these brakes with rays?

Yea probably.

Excellent progress.

I've all ways thought there must be a better way of doing that intake pipe, the flat part must introduce a bit of a restriction....

I have one in ok condition, be back from holiday in a couple of days if your intrested......

Buy, buy, buy. You will regret it if you don't.....

You sure that includes vat?

That is an amazing price!

Oh and I find gunk best for cleaning the top of the engine ...

Don't disagree, lots of benifit to reduce charge temps..

It was a kind of question then I thought about it and concluded that I wouldn't want to do it. I've seen significant damage to turbine blades caused by water but after doing a little bit of reading it seems that it's an accepted method as long as very fine nozzles are used...

I disagree, even as a fog the water droplets will wear the blades on a turbine spinning at thousands of rpm. May be ok for a screw type....

Tricky speaks the truth, water/meth is fine, but using the meth part as a enhancer, to further cool the intake temp.

 

Sure you could use more meth and map for it but as dawj says, you then rely on the meth and if you run dry or it fails, your in trouble.

 

Never heard of systems failing and flooding the engine either.

 

If your concerned run a mechanical water injection pre supercharger firing into the blades, its a very effective method of cooling, rather than post supercharger.

Will firing water at the impella not damage it, water and high speed turbines is a bad mix in my experiance...

Abbey did mine and they are less than 20mm drop.

When, just driving or when stationary. It will go up to 50ish when parked but soon comes down. I didn't see higher than 30degc on track at brands with 20 deg ish ambient outside...

On my 350 I see an increase in inlet temps of about 6 or 7 degc when driving, based on odb values, dont know how accurate that is...

Supercharger...
