trikesrule should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Yeah it runs a 90 degree thermostat. We're in the off season at present so it's vertually impossible to run the car. I thought there may be a rough rule of thumb guide I could use to get the engine warming up quicker. 20 minutes in the pits and the temp guage hardly moves off the bottom (in summer). On the dyno it wouldn't warm at all. I could put my hand on the engine and it was only luke warm after five runs gradually building up on each. Don't reckon the oil is coming up to operating temperature by a fair margin. Dyno man said take it away and put a smaller rad in. Darn frustrating this..........
