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. The group size is purposefully kept small so that the maximum can be obtained from the day in a highly personalised environment.

Once i had fitted the front diff bushing which were a piece off piss, (see pic) i moved onto the rear press fitted bushings... Now these were a bugger. So heres how i replaced them with the subframe still attached. After a few wacks with a hammer a couple dry atempts to push them in it was obvious these were not going in without a fight. 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…
