Cartapex Vmount thread
The gold film on the cold side is the best heat shielding money can buy. For reference all the racing teams in F1, CART, ALMS, etc. use this stuff.
Still working out the bugs on this car, but temps were very stable from the get go. No hard numbers yet, in process of adding sensors and gauges, but temps are on the cool side on everything, even when driven hard at the track.
Sometime next month hopefully I will be making a v-mount setup on my FD.

With the help of Moto and Spyder, we got a couple of coolant leaks fixed, running pretty good right now. Looking forward to getting the car to Ralph himself for the tuning. Ralph....Are you there? I am ready...let me know!!
Actually I should be charging him for all the time I'm spending on his car lately. Then again I'm building my car there free rent, so it evens out.
John, your car puck out a lot of oil last night. It came out of the oil sending line. The clinch nut was looser as a two dollar *****.
