traffic light camera advice
might of just picked up another bloody traffic offence. but i dunno what do you guys think... i was at a cross roads controlled by cameras, theres 3 lanes at my junction a staright on a left and a right. the straight on is the one with a red light the left and rights only have a green arrow that comes up at other times. i went through on my turn right only lane when the light was green for straight on. into the box ahead for turn right. trouble is there is a camera here. and as i went through my gf said should you have gone through then? and tbh im really not sure if i should have. bit stressed out now. simple mistake possibly could cause alot of agro, or it may not be an issue at all its the waiting thats a killer.:cursing:

New Ford Capri for 2012 ?
they wont do it and if they do it wont be retro enough, it will be like the cougar. they did threaten to bring out a new transam which would make sense based on the whole camero firebird relationship but general motors have killed of pontiac. :( poor shame

Poss water leak from...
sure its steam? i get a little puff round here looks like ciggarete smoke, its actually the rocker covers driping oil down onto the turbos and manifolds. when i go for a longer drive theyre hot enough to burn it off instantly rather than just smolder, plus i think the metal expands and seals the seal tighter :) hope that helps. try seeing what if anything drips out the engine bay.

radiator questions getting a little confused now...
i fitted my new japspeed rad the other weekend and after its first two drives, ive noticed to issues. firstly i seem to loose about 1/4 of a litre of coolant both times, toppd it up the first time. :s can i assume that given that im not experiencing any drips.( i put a piece of noteboard paper under the car to check over night no green dots) that was both running and cold. can i assume that im not leaking? my thoerys are either : im still getting air out the system, ive only covered about 30 miles so far, with the temp set on max. : or that its over flowing into the emptied expansion bottle and not coming back. (i havent actually checked to see wether its gone green in there.) my other issue is i refitted the fan shroud ina short of fashion as it no longer fits, there are only two mounts on the japspeed. and its slightly wider so the shroud wont strecth across :( so it drops and hits the fan making a noise and melting the shroud and blades, not cool. what have others done about this?? do i even need it now ive got the bigger rad?

waterpump speed
could alwsy instal an aftermarket revlimiter or fit a different chip.
-
waterpump speed
there should be a rev limiter in built in the car most chips will raise that.
-
waterpump speed
see i was thinking about this thread today and back to mikeys one about rpm. now these chips that allow you to rev that high without a rev limit is taht good, i dont think it is. peek torque and bhp would be reached at what 5.5k to 6k revs. so going into the 8s is not only dangerous to the internals of the engine its fairly pointless???

Thermostat housing....
