It's coolant in the radiator, but I think ill just take her in and have a look over! If anyone is going to the meeting on the 13th in Sydney I'm going to attend, I'd be more than happy to pop the hood and let you have a look

ok so there is a fan :roll:, so now i'm stumped, radiator is full, hoses have no cracks or leaks that i could see, the only thing i could think of is maybe the fan could be on backwards and is pulling air not pushing, is that even possible? so no idea why it would be running hot on idle, any ...

That's my point mate, I never even took any notice until I saw the temp rise the other day :? I generally never get caught in traffic and only had ...

Trev: I know I'm probably worrying about nothing, I've only had her for 2 months I'm still in the over protective stage with her.

Blacky: there is no radiator fan at all or anything that kicks in on idle.

Was just wondering what engine cooling system you guys run, my fb relies on the cool air running through the grill to cool everything, last week i got caught in traffic and the temp went up to 110c but as soon as i got running again it went back down to 80c, im worried that if it happen again for ...

Mate this thing is so unbelievably badass! You did a great job! Where in Sydney are you? I haven't seen many around yet going to my first meeting in November hope to see you there so I can get a closer look at this beast.

wow those Pioneer Subwoofers are about as old as the car!
As testament to how well built they USED to make car audio products... :thumbsup:

Mate I've had those thing since my first car when I got my Ps they are 8 years old and still pump although I've flick the switch on the amp these days and ...

"ran out of funds" think most of us have been down that road and it all takes time, at least you can enjoy driving the FB while changing things when the spare $$$ are available.

I saw an Fb a couple of years ago for sale with QLD plates that looked just like this one, I wonder if it is the same one ?
Cheers Rob

Could be Rob, I bought it from a bloke in Singleton he had it for about 4 years but it was originally from QLD, ill have some more pics up tonight when i finish ...

Nice copper pipes!

Good looking car and sounds like you are doing what I would do, (benchseat & whitewalls) :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Good to see you making your on personal touches, but as functional as they might be I couldn't leave the copper pipes there in full view.

Mick :wink ...
