That looks wicked. Wish it was at easy as that on mine, apparently it has some dodgy connections that you can't just buy, have to get them made, cba
What oil temps were you hitting? I get 124 on track which is why I've been looking into it. Get told time and time again M3's don't need it though...

When it was in the high 20's at bedford i was hitting 130-135 which i dont like. IIRC the oil can cope at that temp but id rather not risk it.
For the sake of 150 id rather it be protected.

Well did my Lemans track day yesterday. Left at 8:30am on Friday morning. Got to France around an hour away from Lemans and got pulled over.....
90kmph limit got tagged at 180kmph. Got fined 90euros and just played dumb. It went from a motorway to a large bridge. The police said I should of had my licence taken.
So yea fun times.
Got to Lemans at around 8pm. Long day! Track day was Saturday so went to the track for 8:30 and signed on.
Very different to uk days. Overtaking on either side and children could go in the cars too.
Cars ranged from 197 Clios all the way to some tasty 458's.
Got a passenger ride in a radical sr3 and fuck me that was immense!!
Need new discs now!

Heat was nasty! All weekend it was hot. At Lemans it was 34, so intake temps were slightly high.

Yea i loved it! will be going back again at some point. I booked it with a company from Jersey so pretty much the whole track day was full of people from jersey.
I was wondering why i was getting higher than normal coolant temps so i whipped out my stat last night stuck it in some boiling water and it hardly opened so ive had to take it out for a short term solution!
