It sure is stock 2lt rad. I have been running it for last 15 months and have had no issues at all, and thats including summer temps  and all sorts of driving.

Cheers

Wow! Unbelievable.
You sure the temp gauge and sensors are a match and functioning correctly?

Hahaha, temp is reading correctly,it is running my pinto temp sender. Temps were confirmed through Haltech data showing actual temp,and yes Haltech is correctly calibrated for apropriate Bosch sensor used. I also checked it with an IR temp gun.
 
I managed to get a few things done in regards to preping the car for Regency.
I now have factory speedo working with Sr gearbox, although showing slightly higher (Adr requires it to be within 10%), it is in spec as far as complying with ADR is concerned. I have a few ways of getting it spot on but for now its all good.
I fitted sealed and externaly vented battery box, and also upgraded fuel system mounting bolts to a specific high tensile grade to keep engineer happy.
After fitting a 0.7 rear master cyl, brake bias is now spot on and ready for the Brake test.
 
To retain the surge tank, pumps,fuel hoses etc in the boot it all has to be contained within a sealed vapour proof compartment that is externally vented.So I am looking into that at the moment, I'll probably go with a simple ally box with a bolt on top or front to allow for inspection/maintenance, and an extra bulkhead fitting acting as a external vent. Although a bit of a pain having to organise this vapour proof box, its probably a good thing should there ever be a fuel leak. It will however make my "fancy"low permeation fuel hoses obsolete.

Excellent!!
Whens the big day?
I'm thinking of building an integrated surge tank in the front end of the standard tank to avoid having the fuel system inside the car. That way I'll only have a single pressure pump and negate the lift pump.

Can anyone confirm that bias adjustable brakes can be legally engineered and are legal for street use ?

Hi
The short answer is yes.
You'll need to discuss your specific requirements with an engineer.

I had my car passed at the SA full vehicle inspection with an adjustable pedal box fitted.

Can you reach the adjustment knob while sitting in the drivers seat ?

I only have it fitted when going out to the track and then yes it can be reached from seat.

After a long wait and few cancellations,  MR132 brake system test and MR807 lane change manoeuvre test finally happened.....The RS passed both tests easily.Both engineers were impressed on the day how well the brakes worked. All I have is a few minor things to sort out and its ready for Regency inspection.
 
Cheers
