capone Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Coils in the radiator may be part of your idle issue. Surprised it even ran, must be sealed well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDA780 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 So much choice. But pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease give it a bit more low! haha. Hahaha it is lowered. Reset rear springs, lower front springs etc. We were never sure how it would sit though as it was on stands for a long time. Personally liking it as is.

rotorhoe Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Bought a $245 oil cooler just for getting the car to nats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotorhoe Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I need it tomorrow to rush fit it Weds so I'll pay him tomorrow. Until then if anyone has RX3 or 808 oil cooler for cheaper by all means I'll go that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sr1600 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Haha reminds me of an experience I had with these oil coolersWas at the gassy one day, left it running while I checked the tire pressure.This old guy about 50 walks up for what I thought was a chat, "nice car he reckons but leaks a bit of oil" he said. Me thinking its weapin the odd drop the back of the reversed sump "yeah always has" I said while crouched down by the tire. Then he pointed to the ground under the oil cooler and bugger me a patch about 250mm in diameter.One of the fins on my 40 odd year old oil cooler had split on the front and was squirting onto the road. Followed the oil trail all the way home........Threw that away and brought a nz made real deal one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr1600 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Those cheap ones are a bargin,dollar per value cant bet them. id just pay another $50 odd dollars and buy from a company than an individual. Then you always have their assurance they stand buy there product otherwise they wouldn't be selling them. Â The rotary community is blessed for choice in the parts department. Â Keep up the good work rotorhoe and bda, looking forward to checking it out at the ranch one day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotorhoe Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 This one I'm buying today is from NZKW performance parts so I'm assuming it's the right one And cheers nzed for the offer, was a good deal! Let you know how this one goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr1600 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Mine was well over 600 but i think they might be under 600 now. Think it was about 1300-1400 for the radiator and oilcooler combo but this was when all the cheap radiators were starting to come in  Before the days of the cheaper alloy ones , ud be silly to pay that now if you didnt have something hardcore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
