Elanmi: Arrival of a Coolex Rad

 

Update on the rad purchase post, so as far as I am concerned, Coolex's radiator for the M100 is a pretty popular upgrade, for price and performance. More than likely I will have it fitted in December while I'm overseas. Excited to have these added with the hopes that it will solve a good portion of my cooling problems.

Probably not every entry will I have a particular subject to it, so I might just offset it to a "Photo Dump" entry series.

Elanmi: Replaced bushings

 Had the bushings and components of my front suspension:

A very big improvement!

Over bumps, the rebound isn't horribly and audibly crashy and bumps are more compliant. It used to be when going off throttle quickly there is an audible clunk that I thought was the engine mounts (Which it wasn't). The steering did feel fixed exiting the workshop after collection, then reverted back to normal right afterwards. I'm not so sure what the cause is now. My mechanic said he's checked the tie rods and they don't need replacing, so I'm not very sure. I think on the next repair trip I will ask them to just replace since I already bought the part.

'course, next trip out is switching out the radiator, unless anything goes south. I'll tally the overall costs of both this car and the Mitsubishi Airtrek in a later post.

Say, best of it would be the increment in driver confidence, but a new driver saying that with a sports car is anything but a good thing. Someday I'll come back to this and laugh it out.
