Summer Improvements

I would try the following for your questions,

1, Try blanking off the areas around the radiator to nosecone, air will always take the least path of resistance.

2, Has the diff got the correct type of oil in it? Would a service/oil chnage help?

3, Can't comment on aftermarket, did the ford have a built in limiter?

4, Cheapest option is to service what you have, mind Wilwoods always get good reviews. I've wilwood on the front of my v6 but standard 4x4 on the rear with mintex pads, can't comment on performance as not running yet.

Hi Spike.

I had cooling issues with my V6, in the end I went for having a massive radiator adapted to fit the hole. I have now fitted the Cosworth V6 and the temperature is still not a problem.

I have the standard XR4x4 callipers on mine with green stuff pads in the front and the brakes have been excellent even at track days. I wont be going to the expense of Wilwoods.

Could be brakes binding once everything heats up. I had a problem cos the actuator rod from brake pedal to m/c expanded and moved the piston slightly- I just shaved a couple of mm off the rod to solve the problem. Luke on here had the same issue.
