And check the accumulator reservoirs air pressure from time to time. Phil

I think you need to paint the mounting flange under the plastic vents black. Looks a little "home made" with the white flange so obvious. Easy enough to do. I like your use of Titanium mount bolts ( I use them on tons of applications. Not particularly for the weight savings but because they...

You know this issue of cracked connectors is across many brands these days. Don't know when it started but in the colder weather later connectors are quite brittle and great care needs to be taken with them. In the warmer weather it's not such an issue but at anything below 10 or so degrees C...

Looks good apart from those US spec side reflectors that look less than optimal. Pity about those useless things on the US cars. Not that easy to delete either but paint matching them would be my intention if we had them here. Phil

Dissimilar metal corrosion issues are only a factor if you have a conductive medium between the 2 metals such as salt water etc to create the electrolysis action. So I'm building an engine at the moment and one of the rolling element bearings I'll be using in the aluminium housing I'll be copper...

Viton/FKM orings biggest advantage in engine applications is their high temperature capability of around 400deg F (205 deg C) . The commonly found Nitrile o-rings upper temp limit is around 250 deg F (120 deg C) which can be exceeded locally in various parts of the engine cylinder head. having...

Mine fits just fine. Phil

I think you mean water and I believe the turbo pump runs after shutdown in certain conditions to keep water circulating and cool the turbo. Other turbo engines rely on cooling the turbo after shutdown via thermal syphoning which seem to work fine. The only time the turbo needs a little cool down...

Oh ok I've not seen one in the flesh and all the images I've seen it seems to look like just a solid colour. Phil

I think the car looks great, stance, wheels and the colour really pops in the sun almost like it's got some metallic in it. I actually like the standard wing on the 45th edition. Hopefully someone will produce a copy at some point. Phil

The B58 doesn't seem to have an issue with LSPI that SN+ and now SP oils were formulated to combat however you are ignoring the additional benefit of the latest SP oils on top of the LSPI advantage and that is improved performance with regards to cam chain wear. Phil

Touchup paint repair kit and some etch primer for the steel but honestly thats probably an overkill and a fine brush. How did this happen? Has the hood been off and this happened during the refit? Phil

No just a firm push, nothing excessive. Phil

Could it be the difference between using the Z4 selection for coding and the Supra selection when coding? Just throwing it out there. Phil

Yes I have this and mine fits snugly. Phil

looks like the bedding in was "sub optimal" as they say. During break in the pads basically lay down a microscopic film of pad material on the disk face. If this film isn't evenly laid down then you get brake judder. The fix is usually the use of a disk flex hone to remove the uneven pad layer...

It's not the rain directly that caused the water in the tyres but water from the tyre changers shop air compressor when they changed the tyres. They haven't purged their shop air like they should. No way in hell will rain water enter a wheel that has any sort of air pressure in it. Phil

Thinking of building my own machine. Phil

You know I could sit down with a coffee or 2 and watch a 5 axis CNC machine make stuff for hours on end. Weird I know. Phil
