Update: they're now claiming that incorrect coolant has caused both buildup in the radiator , and they don't cover warranty for corrosion...?!

Last time I checked, corrosion caused the opposite effect to buildup. Coolants used have been as per their rocommendation since the beginning.

They claimed that straight water came out of the radiator when they received, which we politely explained was due to me having to refill it to limp the car 8km to my mech after the car was towed home from the last Stagea cruise.

It's getting pretty frustrating now, but I'm adamant that we have done nothing wrong. The real pain is not having the beast on the road during the coldest part of the year!

Will update when things progress...

Wrong Coolant eh? What a coincidence...

checked all fluids n gonna give it a revtune tonight to get it read to run the 1/4 mile tomorrow

Good luck with that. I hope you get a good time. Nay, I'm expecting you to get a good time (for a M35 anyways).

I too wish you luck!

I'm going to take a punt. 13.2 at 114mph.

That's my guess.

Good luck buddy, still a few teething problems with mine, I'm not sure I want to hit 200kph on the new disks/pads, that and I had a couple of cooler clamps let go today. I will try to have it ready for the next one. :)

had 4 runs all of em shit haha. first run couldnt stall it up and get it on boost (same problem as every other run) and ran a 12.9 @106 which i was happy with first shot, every other run i missed a gear change or couldnt get it on boost so just went home. stalled it up on my street and it cam on straight away haha oh well

We did 2x Cooling mod (yes Scott, heaps of pics for ya) and 1x plenum spacer today... hub bolts, spacers and wheels tonight or tomorrow

Mate, enough with the excuses, lol. There's no need - that's a great time regardless. Good job :cheers:

Today I pulled the passenger side valve cover off. Getting pretty quick at removing the plenum, associated plumbing & wiring (it's my 3rd time afterall :( )

This time there's no sign of oil leaking past the gasket so I must have got it right last time. Afaik that only leaves the banjo oil line on top of the turbo as the culprit. Looks like the turbo's gotta come out again, & that's gonna take a lot longer :/

Sniff...makes me sad.

    • Before starting any work, we attempted to adjust the tune. However even after adjusting it to certain extremes like completely stopping fuel, it had no effect. What fixed it was removing the Nistune Board and installing the original EPROM instead. This immediately fixed the issue. Everything should have been fine with the Nistune Board installation, so I am unsure why it has caused a problem. The soldered connector is also properly soldered. This worked when I first got the 550cc injectors, before cleaning, but that may have been a coincidence.  We ended up not installing the fuel pump hanger (at least for now). So currently running stock injectors, stock fuel pump, stock fuel pump hanger – Well everything stock except the exhaust. Now I have around €1400 in Nistune, Injectors, and Hanger collecting dust for the time being, perhaps I'll install them in the future. For now I'll enjoy the car as is 😁 Thanks a lot for all your assistance, I really appreciate all the help you have given me.
    • The turbo can’t be the issue. They’re proven to make much much power than you’re making. There is something in the setup that isn’t correct. - has the exhaust got any silly step downs? - what exhaust manifold?
    • Ok, just the way you wrote it made it look like you had the stagger the wrong way around 
    • I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
