Pav's Albi Blue 197T

[Chris]

I'm sensing a dipped engine cover

Pav will be dipping everything he gets his hands on lol! Just imagine him dunking his car into a swimming pool - carbon fibre car!

 

[Big Ben]

Donuts probably

[Pav]

so the activator for hydro-dipping hasnt come never mind..some other shiny bits have though
Miltek link pipe-the size of this bad boy is incredible!!!
Shell engine oil
Fuchs gearbox oil 75W-80..Oilman said it was very good option for an LSD gearbox..so went for it..also Luke197 recommended it..


as always thanks for looking

 

[Chris]

[Pav]

Nice... your water pump, did you go standard or the Valeo improved version?

 

[Big Ben]

Milltek link pipe looks great. Is it brand new?

 

[peter]

any particular reason you bought shell oil?
mine needs an oil change, probably putting elf oil in.

thanks..im not clued up on the brands mate tbh..know it's a Metelli premium water pump..think it will do for sure..

yeah Ben..brand new mate..hard to get your hands on a second hand one..pretty impossible tbh..

any particular reason you bought shell oil?
mine needs an oil change, probably putting elf oil in.

never been a big fan of OEM stuff tbh with you..The shell helix has proven to be very good for what I use the car for,which is everyday commute/track use...its not too expensive either...hope it helps..

Looks great Pav. Keep bobbing in and looking where you're up to. Have you sourced an engine now then? Can't. Be far away from starting?

 

[Pav]
