Well after some discussions at the East Mids PNG meet, I've boshed some 15w50 oil in the XE, Valvoline Turbo 15w50 to be precise @ £15 with servicing discount code:

Seems to hold pressure nicely and on track today saw temps of 110C without any real drop in pressure so I'm happy. Will have to see how it holds up to trackdays in the peak of summer.

Today I went to Blyton Park, proper cool little circuit and great price for a full day open pit. Guys at Javelin did a good job too.



I think Keif got a few photos but here's a quick video I snapped:

Looking good Iain, first wet trackday! I take it you stayed on the Toyo's all day, they do you proud in the wet then? Looks fairly grippy in the video.

The track looks pretty good aswell doesn't it, quite demanding!

So no problems with the nova then? made it there, took a hammering and came home I pressume?

[Iain]

T1Rs stood up well, great wet track tyres you'll be pleased to know. Track was awesome, very good value day.

No problems at all, drove it there and back and around the track all day without a hiccup! No brake fade, oil temps/pressure problems, nothing!

Nice looking track, good lap too. Nice speed.

[nova ian]

Nice Tow Arrow Decal too

Glad you took the step to change the oil mate, im sure you wont be disappointed, you might not get through as much now, as if you were getting high temps you may have just been vaporising it off?

Looks really well balanced in that vid in the wet mate, well done.

Few pics from yesterday courtesy of Keif from here, big thanks for snapping throughout!

Arriving at 8am very tired!

Used a litre of oil yesterday including driving it there and back and most of the day out on track, which I'm relatively pleased about. Be interesting to see how much it uses during road driving now

Looks well out on track Iain, glad everything held together for you!
