Hello all. With the MOT looming and the car needing alot of work i thought i might try and get some other jobs sorted at the same time!
I plan to take a month off work next year and live a dream i've had for quite a few years (well before i could drive), which is to drive my Renault 5 GT Turbo across europe to Athens, Greece to see my dad!
My main concern is temperatures, expecially charge temps. I have had long discussions with Duncan Grier with regards to charge cooler setups and what he reccomends (thank you very much for that Duncan)
What i am after is to compile a list of as many peoples charge temps on a "spirited" drive as possible and correspond that to the air cooling set up that you run so that i can see what works best, charge cooler or intercooler, especially at higher ambient temperatures which is where i would really appreciate the European members info!
I hope you are willing to help on this and if you have anyother points that i probably havent thought about please let me know. Cheers
