The videos got me wanting some track time now... :-) some nice smooth driving. We need an s2000 track day...
All it needs is someone to organise it/start a meet thread with a suggested date and location.

Such a flurt.....

You should do it Weaty. I want to see how much cooler your car is compared to mine after some track action to justify the coating

lol its all about you.... :-) id like to do a track session just to enjoy the fast flowing lines. Happy for you to see the temp difference. The coating does work! My mechanicnwas open mouthed when he could hold the manifold and not the decat pipe after bleeding the rad... cools quickly. My car run on 4/5bars of heat on the dash. Pops up to 7 occasionally in traffic but pops down to 5 with fans.

Not as bad as some but, for reference:
tire (tyre)
flurt (flirt)
and a lot of missing punctuation making it harder to read.



More seriously, I'm puzzled by your variable temperature gauge readings. Mine goes from cold to three bars and stays there no matter what. Note that the number of bars differs on the older cars gauge.

I thought that. My 04 goes to a number (7ish?) of bars and then never moves, even on track etc. Takes longer to get there when it's cold outside, but that's all that ever changes.

What radiator, thermostate and fan switches are you guys using? I have the spoon thermostate and fan switch with mishimoto tripple core ally rad. (Hope spelling is ok)

The norm with steady state driving is 5 bars down from 7-8 when the oe parts were on the car.

Spelling is still not great (thermostat, triple)

Mine is all OEM. Three bars even when being thrashed around Spa Francorchamps in 32C ambient.

Agree, mine has never gone above 3 bars (recognising the prefacelift difference to Weaty). That's sounds quite hot even with all the stuff on it if it's hitting 7 bars?
