Are your water temps lower than with the stock rad?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] New mods - A work in progress (Picture Heavy!)
I'll be honest- I wasn't logging water temps when I was running the stock rad, but after I cracked my block I wanted to do everything I could to help improve cooling- which is when I put the mishimoto in and started data logging.

On my current setup the car holds steady at 85c all day long

Yeah, I didnt actually want to know the full cost as it will just depress me as I know this project is going to bankrupt me.
.
.
But I look at it this way, my business partner spent
£48,000 on his E class brand new, its 7 years old now and its now worth
£6000


Im in no rush to complete this project and I will be doing a lot of the work myself so im sure Luke will do me proud.
.
Hoping I will be at JAE next year though.
.


Really looking forward to seeing your beast in person.
Really inspired me to do my build.
.


Are your wheels staggered? What sizes are your running?

I LOOOOVE my SSRs but they are like jewels and not to fond of pot holes if what im told is to be believed.
.
Going to be a xxxxxx to maintain.
.
But think they will be strictly for summer use.

Apologies, didn't spot your question.





Might as well update this thread while I'm here.





It's been almost 20 months to the day that I've been without my car and it's now likely to be around the 2 year mark before I get it back.






The journey continues.

I admire your patience and perseverance Paul.
You'll get the car you deserve in the end and everyone will look on in envy

Thought it time to blow the dust off this thread and post an update.
Because there is one 

Rogue have been working on the car again and it's pretty much good to go.
The engine is running and all seems ok so far.
Just a few odds and ends to finish up then it's off for MoT and mapping.

Hopefully all with go smoothly from here on in and that being the case I will have my car back in the next few weeks

Thanks Phil.
Looked a bit bleak around Christmas time where I amost had to get shot of it but hung in there and pleased to say it's all back on track now.
On that note, just want to say a public thanks to Ashley for all the advice and support behind the scenes and for helping me keep it all in perspective.
Might otherwise have made a rash decision which I would totally be regretting now.
Cheers mate


Haven't been round the forum for quite a few months but been playing catch up for the past few days and nice to see the Mule is going strong and looking good
