Some kind of show thing, not really sure what I am expecting. Lots of FB pushing, so organisers are hoping for a big spectator turnout with the associated dosh coming in for tickets. Also, there is rally car exhibitions, so us paying drivers can give a show. I'm using the day just to shake down...

Had a great day out yesterday at the first round of the ANECCC Autocross Championship. This is proper entry level motorsport, friendly and accessible. Some great cars there too, including 180bhp autograss type buggies. Those things fly and sound fantastic. And a GTIR and other 4wd cars...

Has anybody attempted to improve the design of the GTIR cooling system, specifically; 1. The thermostat being near the top of the engine, so it will/may close if the water level ever reduces.. My mk1 golf has it at the lowest point, surely the sensible place for it. 2. The top hose level is...
