Im leaving my standard water oil cooler on, heard its the best way to run it, so you ensure you can get up to temp just like normal
I think most people have it setup like that, never seen the removal of the oem cooler
As above really, when I take my headlights out I want to get rid of the orange bulbs.
ive seen some led t20 push fit but dont want any problems which i know the silvertec bulbs dont give
anyone used led ones?
Thats a coolant gauge not oil so id suggest the rad is overcooling, not really needed on a daily tbh. The oil cooler is thermostatic so will only open at a certain temperature why not hook up an oil temp gauge thats what im doing when the cooler goes on. Should be fine for a daily as well maybe just cover the oil cooler to just to help a bit

Im sure they do know what theyre selling and for the most part they sell great products however after digging in and finding alot of information on AMS I am no longer willing to put these or any lightweight pullies on my car. I understand people havent had any issues but its not a risk I will take. I like to fit the best parts I possibly can on my cars and its a shame I won't fit these but its not worth the potential problems down the line and a few bhp.
I find it does pay to dig deep and research a product no matter how small
Ive got a competition clutch single mass lightweight flywheel to go in, if the standard pulley is damped I probably wont get the ams ones if they are not, dont want to risk it
So if the rumours are correct who's pullies would they be copying? assuming they haven't designed their own even though they look great in photos
shame its come but I do do alot of research before I buy anything sometimes it pays
Yeah ive read alot into the harmonic damper business and now this with ams, I still want to fit a set just wary now as it would just be my luck that id have problems
How much difference would you say its made daryl? Did you fit them together or separately so you could feel the difference each made
Was researching their pulley kits as i keep being tempted by these especially when my lightweight flywhell goes in and ive stumbled across these articles and ive read alot into them, I know you only hear bad stuff on the net but surely theres a small cause for concern there, especially with the pulleys being a vital part of the engine.

There are many more topics on the web aswell
What do you guys think? I know some are running the pulleys with no problems and a few traders have dealt with them.
Could be what people are saying that some companies/people are trying to ruin their reputation but you can never be sure
Its thrown a spanner in the works for me thats for sure
