Marks got a good point, the price of a few dyno sessions tweaking the FPR would go a long way towards a AEM... its getting a decent tuner which costs!

is it worth thinking about the Spoon/Mugen cooling mods? (thermostat, switch & rad cap?)
I'll be watching my temps and doing data logging at Nur .. if i get a few laps where it's getting too hot, I'll have a re-think.
Day-to-day, I don't think it's worth it.
Are you having it as a daily car, or a track monster?

Weekend, touring hols, the odd commute and occasional track day.
More interested in reliable power than out and out power!

So having it super mega powerful and no leather/AC etc. isn't an option.
Think it'll be fine without any cooling mods. But if they come up cheap

Why do people think running an engine cooler than it was designed to is a good idea?
Not sure about the thermostat and switch .. that just opens the rad earlier I'd have thought.

I know the rad cap is actually a "heating mod" as it allows the system to get upto a higher pressure.

Normal is 88C, most these 'racing stats' open at 82C.
Radiator cap just means than rather than the cap losing pressure when it gets too hot you end up splitting a pipe or cracking the rad.
