Did you get to smelling the new pads? If they didn't smell, you need to push them harder

So it had to be knocking hard, and you just couldn't hear it

How long ago was the fuel purchased? Half filled cans or frequently opened tend to make the fuel go weaker. Could you not hear the engine knock? Why wasn't the ECU taking back timing due to detecting knock from the sensor?

Is water/meth injection an option? That would greatly reduce charge temps

Can't that dip in the torque be smoothed out with the mapping of the VVT? Or that went away with the follower and lifter kit?

If they are reachable a pointy or sharp edge punch on the side of the bolt and medium size hammer :)

Can you still feel some hesitation from 2500 to 4000? Still, should be miles better for putting arround which is what it makes you want to sell it or keep it :)

That makes no sense whatsoever! Specially when front bearings get caked while in the hole... Thanks for the feedback

While disassembling my front hubs to replace the balljoints I also took out the bearing carriers to give them a check. Only when randomly looking online for parts I noticed that some replacements bring what seems to be a dust shield that mine does not have... Is this the reason why the inner...

Can it be the dipstick tube o-ring?

There is space to pass a flexible pipe from the side of the radiator, throught the side and up right behind the headlight. It just wont be on the same diameter as the V6 entry, because that is huge.

how are you addressing the bolster issues?

Depends on the usage and the heat rejection capacity of the coolant radiator. As long as you have coolant and oil temperatures within reasonable values there is no reason to change. Also, keep in mind that having a larger intecooler will reduce a bit the exposed area of the coolant radiator. As...

Regardless of the price, that looks like a very neat soution. Have you considered incorporation an oil cooler (or supports) in one of the sides?

paint where the pads sit and should have none is a problem. at least taking the paint off in those places would be needed

Shfit lights not working or you're short-shifting a bit? Very clean and composed.

You have cheaper options than Varley https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hawker-EnerSys-Genesis-Battery-Motorcycle-12-Volt-16Ah-Odyssey-Type/362692558469?hash=item5472293e85:g:~UwAAOSwlWBdAmfe

You need to plan some vacations in the sunny south when there is some event and you do the combo. Also you have N2, which is the longest road in Portugal, that goes from Chaves in the north to Faro in the south. It's not always the best surface but is very scenic and a very nice road trip to make.

And if I was given the choice, the ring would be top of the list compared to any trackday :) I have no plans of going to Braga soon, but would like to give it a go at Portimão, which I haven't tried with the Clio and to Monteblanco (Sevilla) which I have only watched. They're all too far for you...

Are coming to Portugal this year for some track action? I'll be going to Estoril on the 22nd of March
