Re: My Brexit
Take the thermpstat out , remove that silly metal sphere and it's tag then drill out that hole to 8mm , more if needed as you experiment . It will ensure there's always a water flow even while waiting to warm up from cold . Essential with a modified engine

Re: MSA compliant rollbar
If you mean the rear chassis rail where the trailing arms locate then yes you can easily make 30 degrees, as I have said before it means that you need to put 2 slots in the boot lid, cut out the rear boot floor, fabricate and weld on the rear stays mounting points to the chassis cross member etc. I...

Re: MSA compliant rollbar
Yesterday , I was marshalling at Castle Combe and had a look around the paddock at various car's cages and rear 30 degree stays .

Car weighs 570kgs so 14 psi all round . When she weighed 650kgs tyre pressures were 17 psi . To answer your question directly , I wouldn...
