Nice and sunny but a bit chilly

Nice view from the plane Arrived at destination

At Stanstead airport.

The system is self bleeding. Have the car raised at the front slightly then fill through the rad. This will take a while as the fluid will also fill the engine as well if needed. Keep topping up slowly until you can't fill anymore. Move the top hose up and down a bit and you will see the level drop and some bubbles come out. Also make sure the expansion bottle is also just over half full. Repeat this till it won't take any more, stick the cap on then run the engine with the heater in the hot position. Let the car get upto temp until the thermostat opens then turn it off. Let it completely cool down recheck the levels, job done.

Jamesy has one for sale

If its a jap radio it may not be the right conector as they tend to convert it directly to the specific unit rather than standard ISO connectors. You will have to take it out and have a look.

To be honest Nic you can fit the shorter stubby aerials but the reception will never be as good as the stock one. If you can live with that then its fine, not sure if it will be as bad on the MR2 but on the supra it's not great.

You need an auto leads conector PC2-17-4 You can pick one up on eBay for a good price. If you have trouble I can supply it for you. You can fit a DD unit or a single din with a pocket.

If the oil seal has been fitted in too far it will leak, this is the number 1 problem for fms leaks. The dyno was reading a little under that day tbh, alot of people had the same sort of results.

Mounting coolers there causes no issues with cooling, problems with your engine and cooling system cause over heating issues.

Possibly oil passing a valve stem seal on vacuum.

Whats is like when you start it form cold? Just to clarify, is the smoke on lift off or power?

They are not HKS cam gears, someone has just put the logo on.

Yeah not a problem or as John says it can be done on a valve so you can switch between it. Will be doing this for exhausts soon as well, its nice to have the best of both.

No I havnt forgot lol... Can make it loud if you want.

Very nice project and fast work. Should be a great build.

Happy Birthday matey.

Yes Steve this can be done, tbh we have the port and polishing down to a fine art now but can customise it to any setup. We can supply flow test figures if required but obviously as extra cost.

Steve M where are you! Need to get these back on your car
