Where should the oil temp gauge run? At one point I was wondering if it was connected! It got to where yours is on the first firing checking to see about leaks etc. I have just got mine running again, completed four drives, and have been paying very close attention to my instrumentation. It has gotten into the 60's here and my gauge doesn't get to where yours is unless it was idling in the driveway.
From the work shop manual: '''Under normal operating conditions (i.e., engine running at 6000 revolutions/1'), the oil pressure range must be between 5 and 6 bar and the temperature should be about 100 °C. Heavy-duty use of the car can raise the oil temperature up to 150 °C. In such cases, the engine load must be lowered in order to restabilize the temperature. If the temperature continues to remain high, inspect the system components to ensure that they are intact. With the engine warm and idling, a pressure lower than 4.5 bar should be considered normal. The pressure level is determined by the pre-loading of the spring in the pressure regulating valve (5, Fig. 1) (B 3.05).'''
Finally got the two cross carbon fiber bars in. Still waiting for the rear lexan for the decklid. Sorry my garage isn't clean. I work in it Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Finished the cross bars next will be some aluminum fabrication to make the top part since I'm not gonna use the pro sport deck lid. I want to make it out of aluminum Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Great plan , like the idea of fabricating the CS deck lid from ally . Do tell us what is coming from Supersprint , headers ?
Yes .I reached out to them and they are building me a set that will convert to the oem style exhaust. There headers usually require there cats but didn't want that way. There parts look amazing Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Mark, What's the weight difference between lexan rear lid set up compared to standard glass lid? I have the F430 weight down to 3,100 lbs. trying to get it down to 3,000. Looking to replace the whole assembly with scud set up.
Getting a little better with the camera and more and more love this car Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
