yea a little, it was going 3/4 up on the stock heat gauge after 3 hard laps.
while i was running i just eased up a little and the heat droped strait away..

mine has always done something similar to that, heated up on the track when on power then cooled down through corners

has it done it with the new radiator in??
im doing evo4-6 rad with slim fans..
a mate of mine has a evo 6.5 TME and that thing does not move from 89degrees on the track..

the new disks held up great but i need new pads, project mu are in my mind..

hehe cool :) The other possibility is that our radiators are simply a bit old and sludged up

Also bear in mind that our engines are a lot bigger and heavier that a 2L 4cyl and evo 4-6 rads are double core thickness.

nah i dont think its that brad, i had my rad fully cleaned out and aluminum bathed bout 8months ago and i flushed and cleaned the outside just 2months ago.. i just think plastic end tanks + small core = poooo

next track day im getting swaybars H brace and semi slicks, and i want to have the car tuned with SAFC and AVCR so i dont get any stupid cut problems..
im aiming for sub 1.45.000
i think i will get this as the semi's will do a hell of alot..

I am a strong believer in letting viewers listen to the engine in Videos!
I hate music and people talking...."that was sick bro...I heard da BOV". lol

So the first lap (Joe's warm up lap) I said nothing while recording. I then turned the camera off, wound the Stezza up, put the window down and FATARMED it around the track! jk

Nah Joe did really well, his car is pulling really well, it needs semi's and I would look at a rear sway bar coupled with some adjustable strut tops to get a little more camber on the front end.

The AYC sure did earn it's keep, quite a few times Joe had the rear left tyre on the ripple strips while having the foot firmly pressed against the firewall!

I am uploading some more video now. I will post up on Joe's first post once I have them all up. The next one is where Joe comes into the last "S" bend and coming out of the corners and up over the finish line, Joe spanks an S2000!

Well done Joe!

lol at the S2000, they are so slow! I passed one with a 50-60kmh speed difference at Pukekohe. I thought the car had blown up or he was slowing down for a cool down lap.

Anyway I asked him afterwards (he didn't know what car I was driving) and he seemed happy with his 170kmh...Until I told him that my 5 seat station wagon cruised passed him at about 230kmh that is!

The Honda S2000 can be really wild as soon a you add a turbo kit to them, just google it and see the results people have been getting with them, very fast. Standard though I can't see why you'd even bother?

1:46 is an amazing time around Winton on street tyres, well done. Very impressed. That's about the times I want mine to run eventually. Come to the Maserati club day next Winter - I'll be there! We head up with a group of cars from Ballarat every year for that day. There's also a Maserati club day at Sandown coming up - highly recommended by everyone who has done it.

Looks like I'll be doing a radiator upgrade before I hit the track though. I can't stand seeing the temp rise...
