I bought mine for £1500 last year and have ploughed around £6-7k into it. Every time it went on track I wanted it to be fast than last time. Ended up with a cracking track car mind you....and now it's for sale ? If your happy with a cheap toy and not fussed about improving every time I don't...

Opie I expect. Your right, shame you can't get 5l and an additional 1l. I have been thinking about an oil cooler, will also look into getting some temp and pressure gauges as well

No it doesn't have an oil cooler

Hi and thanks for the reply. No I do not have an oil temp or pressure gauge so no way to tell. Would it be a case that it's only going to be of a benefit to run 10w50 on such a hot day and with the extra bit of power. I'm very hard on the car while on track but will only be doing 15 minute...

Just to bring this post back to life.... I have been using Fuchs 5w40 as above and all good. I now have throttle bodies on my car and planning to do Castle Combe next Saturday. With the weather set to be nearing 30 degrees do you think the 10w50 may now be a sensible choice? Thanks in advance

Also what's your build, do you have cams, different injectors? Mine's a standard engine with scorpion exhaust and decat. Wondering what kind of power I will be able to make, 195-200bhp realistic?

I too plan to put a spring on my pedal as well. No it's defiantly not too tight I've loosened it off and even if I disconnect the throttle cable it still does the same thing ? I need to get the gen90 tuner lite to check the tps, could that have something to do with it? What does your tick over...

Just read my crap typing and can't see where to edit the above. Isles don't = it doesn't Slipping = blipping ?

Hi all, I have just put ktec itb's on my 182. It's the full kit with gen 90 and all the other bits. It was installed a couple of weeks ago and started perfect, balanced the bodies with a syncrometer and it's all running well. It's a used kit by the way but very good condition, looks like new...

Thanks for the reply. I ended up buying some limo black window tint and making my own boarder out of that. Looks ok.

Ok thanks mate

No nothing like that, not even had it on track yet. Just prepping it ready Nd want go do another oil change before my first one in this car. So 10w50 would be needed but at the same time no downsides if it's always allowed to warm up well first

Cool thanks for the reply. So if both are the same price would you use 5w40 over the 10w50 in a pure track car

As above. Standard engine. Would there be any benefit in using the 10w50 over their 5w40. Will be giving the engine a lot of stick on track and only road driving it will do is to and from the track. Thanks
