Mint video! Can definately see some of the harder lines that your taking. Its great to see a car do it without skipping and bucking about trying to get over the rocks. Your suspension setup is definately spot on. I dont think I'll be able to head back in winter unless I have a lift and bigger wheels after seeing what the track has become recently .

What was the outside temp of that trip. When we went between xmas and new years it was HHOOOOOTTTT!! (about 35 degrees in perth so a bit hotter in the hills) Also how does the temp of your disco hold up when its getting warm.

According to my VDO gauge when I was sitting stationary for a while temp would creep up to about 107 degrees, if I put the aircon on it went up even further. Once moving I get it back down to about 100 though. Time to fit those twin thermos I think.

Hey Mate,
we were home just after lunch but the temp was aproaching 35deg, I spend weeks before xmas trying to sort my cooling system out, including making sure I had all the mud out of both radiator and A/C condensor, opening up my custom grill with lots more holes and the one major thing was take my smaller thermos off and fit the AU Falcon kit with shrowd ! now the temp hardly moves of about 80-85deg ! It was interesting yesterday, I had to help shift my Bro-In-Law and it was 40Deg and towing a heavy trailer up Kallumunda Hill !! only once at the top the temp lifted and I switched the AC off ! under those circumstances I think the cooling system is working pritty good !
Cheers

Nice! I've got an set of AU thermos sitting in a mates workshop. I just have to get the time to fit them. Definitely pleasing to hear that they work!!
