Hey all I have invested in a bigger rad Howe TT and cooling fan kit. Is it worth getting a vented bonnet also or would this not make much difference? Dont want to spoil the smooth lines if I dont have to. But I will do if it keeps the heat away from my new engine. Cheers

A friend of mine on the Lancer Register recently took part in a performance driver track day at the Millbrook Proving Ground. I was wondering if anyone from the forum would have any interest in doing this ? The basic details are as follows: The day is a fast moving experience for 8 owners and their cars to introduce the secrets of performance driving. It is designed to be informative, exciting and fun.

So i tried a number of things that were clearly not gunna work. But soon enough just like one of those old cartoons where a light bulb appears ontop of the characters head, an idea sprung to mind. first i greased the inside of the subframe where the bush sits once pressed in (this helps with the pressing) O…
