RetroPug's Ph.1 Diablo Gti-6

[RetroPug]

Thanks all. I love this car to bits.

I was getting 115degrees according to the gauge I have. It is worth noting that this is an aftermarket gauge, so although it is mounted in the tapped hole in the sump where the standard oil temp. gauge would be on a later gti6, it may not give precisely the same readings. It seems accurate so far though. It would have gotten even higher if I did more runs back to back, it is only a short sprint.

I have a twin oil-cooler system with a mocal thermostat waiting to go on. The fitting kit has now arrived as well.

I was running 32psi in the hope that they'd get a bit of heat in them and the pressure would raise but I didn't get enough runs in due to high temps & stopping early to really experiment with this. I don't think they were getting hot enough though due to the short track & the fact that I couldn't do lots of runs in a go because of the oil, so I'll probably increase the pressure for next time. To be fair it wasn't the grippiest of tarmac anyway, and they really weren't awful in the wet, it is just a very technical, windy course so lots of rapid direction changes and late apexes means it is very easy to break traction even in the dry!
