Haha yeah thanks to Mudski for this awesome box with bits of metal inside he didn't need.

That kit looks good. I paid around the 600 mark when I did all the hoses, thermostat and caps.

Bought an awesome wooden box before. They threw in some circular metal bits inside, farked if I know what for ...

JPC won't fit me in till way after easter but at least then the whole lot will get done in one shot. Clutch, water pump, cooling system, etc...
Also the Cross country cooler is ordered again as of this evening too so, roughly 6 weeks of waiting to grow balls big enough to cut into the bonnet.

Went for a quick overnighter up north, first time since car was tuned. Bit more power than last time, but the EGT's were a worry again.
A lot of the time even a slight long incline id' have to cruise up in 4th sitting in high 350-400, mostly in the higher range.
Really hoping the CC cooler fixes this a bit. But other than that the car went great.

The bigger cooler will help.

Dont be to stressed about 350-400 though. Remember 500 is a safe max for sustained periods.

Ive scored 3 of those boxes over the years ,very very handy,
light sturdy what more could you want.
See they've changed the logo a tad

Yeah fair enough. I know 350-400 is ok for the motor. What concerns me more is the fact even the slightest inclines send it into that range after a while. I guess once the heat soaks into the factory IC, it becomes an issue.
For example a slight steady incline that goes for 2-3 or mo KM's. Really looking forward to the cooler now.

Good to hear you're keeping the patrol for now mate, after you just got the 4.2 and all!! Hope everything works out at work for the best.
