Finally some great results at castle combe

[@ChrisHale0629]

Thanks so much for the data. I drive a completely different car but the anecdotal data about the radiator and water wetter really helps as my climate (SWFL, USA) is hot and my STI hates the heat. Cheers!

[@garethedwards2883]

Great laps Steve and also I noticed when you are following other cars you pull out a bit so don't get too much hot air from them.

[@tentotwo8290]

Really enjoy watching these track day videos. Your editing is brilliant. Seeing your passenger bounce about, really showed how much you need a bucket seat. Thanks 👍

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Thanks very much and yes Dan had a very difficult time hanging on. 😂

[@midlifecrisis9269]

Glad the rad shroud mod worked, if you took the fan off it would drop down again, its only there for traffic. If its easy to get off take it off for your next track day. Great vid , great diving.

[@pauljeffries]

Brilliant video Steve, glad you've finally got the temps sorted, I love castle combe, I take my classic mini on there quite a lot.

[@cmartin_ok]

Love the custom sunshade for the Lufi display!

[@TonyTurboRST]

I’m glad you got the car cool and was able to enjoy it. Great video! When you’re on track your car kind of sounds like a Stuka dive bomber, I love it.

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Yeh the tyres howl, thanks.

[@SOCIALLYDRIVEN]

Good to see you back out again Steve! Great video

[@johnrowell942]

Nice to see it all working fine. 👍

[@jackjones8552]

your perseverance paid off, excellent work

[@TIM612826]

U should've put your mate in the back to give you more grip on the rear 👍 Nice driving Steve 👏

[@TheTechnoaddict]

Looks like fun with the fiesta train! Great result with the cooling mods👌

[@jasonevans5978]

Top video and top driving. Keep it up Steve!

[@benevans3733]

Hope you and the family are staying safe and well

[@ethanroach255]

Nice little flame at @7:14 from the red fiesta

[@awhracing1959]

Love it pal! Those temps are spot on! Great driving also 💪

[@alexheath7828]

Surely you need to be monitoring oil temps not just coolant ?

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Yes true but the car doesn't have a oil temp sensor

[@benevans3733]

Hope you have had a good time to castle Combe and i really like castle Combe

[@danmarsden5403]

Loving your work! Seeing how your efforts have paid off is brilliant 👍🏼

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Thank you Dan

[@kd2833]

So remove rad schroud is the fix ?

[@ashleytruscott3712]

Please can you detail the cooling mods Steve Fiesta's dying of the heat here in sunny south Africa with 36c ambient temps.

[@Sparkplugsteve]

I showed what I did near the end of a vidoe a week ago. It's the cadwell park vidoe

[@Mickyrst43]

Steve,did you put up a video showing what mods you did to channel the air thru the rad?? I did see where you cut the fan shroud that fits behind the radiator,is that all you done??

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Yeh that and modified the crash bar. I did also move the oil cooler behind the intercooler but didn't film that.

[@Dud3k0]

Might be time for a big spoiler on the rear to help with the downforce!!

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Na their embarrassing to drive around with 😁

[@Dud3k0]

@@Sparkplugsteve haha maybe less air pressure in the rear tyres then ;) Im in the process of building an ST track car hope to see you out there one day!

[@brianiswrong]

Did you have a chat with the Renault driver,just so you both understood the what's and whys, or is it just a track day " thing"?

[@Sparkplugsteve]

No wasn't bothered by it to be honest after the session. Just a track misunderstanding that ended well. Only watching the video back reminded me it was a close one. I'm used to people not using their mirrors now. It's a trackday pandemic 😂

[@markhopkins4240]

Looks like I left too early. Popped over after work to do a bit of spectating but didn’t know how many cars would be out after lunch so headed back to Bristol before it ran out of super unleaded. You looked quick. Not quite as quick as the tool in the C2 but think you were in the 1.18s whilst chasing the other blue fiesta just before lunch. What intake did you end up running in the end SDV3 or back to the trusty ITG?

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Thanks and I switched straight back to the itg after the vidoe. Decided to keep the sd clean for resale rather than is it

[@markhopkins4240]

Not wanting to tempt fate, but now temps are reasonable and fingers crossed reliability is sorted too, any more track days planned at combe or is that it for the year?

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Oulton park in just over a week. Not booked anything else yet.

[@markhopkins4240]

Cool I’ll keep an eye out for the next vid

[@barryjones6214]

Are u running any coolant additive run purple power ice in my Leon track car and seems to made a good difference could be worth a add for cheap bit of extra hopfully my lufi gauge will be here soon to try to compare to my liquiguage

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Hi Barry your order got posted this morning so you can track the updates from eBay. Yes I added water wetter the day before this and it did seem to help. Temps were good. Thanks.

[@barryjones6214]

@@Sparkplugsteve tried water wetter myself didn’t seem to do much then mate suggested trying the purple ice more expensive but seems to do the job

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Il give that a go in future then thanks

[@avgoustinoskourides7951]

You are using methanol/water mixture or only water ?

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Water only

[@ocregtv4922]

Brilliant stuff! Now to enjoy it

[@dannbaker]

Nice driving keeping up with the gt4

[@benevans3733]

Another brilliant video again as always

[@brianiswrong]

You need to put David in the boot for a session, that should help settle the rear 😂

[@Sparkplugsteve]

I'd need bigger springs

[@ramseyxxd3228]

What shroud did you remove to improve coolant temperatures?

[@Sparkplugsteve]

I showed it at the end of the cadwell park video last week

[@jackbeames7643]

Hi Steve what fitment are your wheels or do you know the fitment of the gold ones on the red fiesta. Thanks.

[@Sparkplugsteve]

My 15s are et35 and the 16s et38. Gold ones are either et 30 or 35. Not 100% sure. Fiestas are 4x108

[@jackbeames7643]

@@Sparkplugsteve okay great thanks for the reply.

[@RiperSnifle]

Nice driving!!

[@Alexander_l322]

The lufi is sporting a nice hat 🧢

[@Gts2pro]

Is it me ! Or can I hear a bearing noise , like wearing noise 🤷‍♂️

[@Sparkplugsteve]

It's the tyres.
