Yes please to the slicks Dave

I will call to sort out collection

The Sadev is a brilliant gearbox and well worth the extra euros.

Thats probably why Caterham put it in their R600 😬

Have replied to all BM's.

Hi Dave,

Hope you are well, yes car is still for sale but it is going this weekend if not sold.

Give me a call if you want any info on it, I promise neither Llentil or Monsoir Mouse have been near the car 😬

Cheers

Richard

This is going to trader on Saturday as Jon has found his next proper car and does not need a stop gap car.

If anyone wants a bargain hack car give me a call £2k will do it just to upset the trader - I really don't like them.

Surely one should be hard at sorting out Stoneleigh or sorting out Frank's infestation

Did you not notice you just cut up The Prince Of Darkness while he was on the phone to me (hands free) 🤔

Price reduced - you won't find a cheaper Mini, car has 12 months MOT, just serviced ready to go for another year.

Think i am going to stick with the safer propylene glycol

I can see this going on and on

Curious as to why there is no tech info on Evans Coolant listed anywhere

I could be wrong, just found this and it's enough reason for me to keep away from Evans Coolant. I really don't need higher oil temperatures.

Taken from another forum -

Evans coolant is 100% propylene glycol...no water added. Cool thing is it doesn't boil until 360F. Thats great when you think about localized boiling around the cylinders causing hotspots with conventional...with Evans there's no way you're going to get hotspots in the combustion chamber that can possibly cause knock. Bad thing is propylene glycol's specific heat isn't all that great. That effectively makes your radiator act like its smaller than it really is. That also means that when your engine makes a fixed amount of heat the Evans coolant temps will rise more than water will. That's all fine and dandy when you remember that it won't boil until 360F...it has plenty of overhead. The bad thing is the fans run more often than they should since the stock computer thinks you're getting hotter than you should be. The other bad thing is your oil temps go up from the extra heat in the block so you need a nice big oil cooler to manage things. Granted Mobil 1 says its good for 400F but I know most road racers shut things down at 300F. Other negatives to the Evans coolant are the cost and the large expansion rate range of the fluid with temperature swings.

Plain water with Water Wetter (or a similar surfactant like purple ice or stay cool) keeps temps the lowest. Problem with it is a boiling and freezing protection. Water wetter doesn't do anything significant to the boiling or freezing point of plain water. The best protection for boil over is adding conventional antifreeze but that will increase your actual coolant temps. If you want to increase the boiling point while avoiding antifreeze you need to crank the system pressure as high as possible. The highest pressure cap I could find is the TRD at 1.5 kg/cm2 (21.75 psi) which will raise the boiling point to 262-263F. Of course with the high pressure comes the chance of busting hoses. Water Wetter does contain corrosion inhibitors but they don't hold up for too long. Redline reccomends replenishing or replacing the Water Wetter every 15,000 miles.

It is not Propylene Glycol.That is the safe coolant that is water based.

Evans Coolant is not water based

I did read somewhere that it is Peg Based from the food industry

This van is a bargain with great spec it would make a great tow vehicle of track days etc

Drives like a vehicle half its size (i Know)

Buy with confidence

John you have blat mail

Bradders, the Voyager is made from a breathable material. I would suggest a little airflow will sort the problem out. Any problems please feel free to give me a call

He is a top bloke and knows how to build an engine

Darren you need to speak to Simon Armstrong at Ultimate Performance

here

He machines the cylinder heads for Caterham and Cosworth Duratecs

He was recommended by the two Steve's
