Are any of these cars still running at that Dragstrip? These pictures are 25 years old. Never heard of the place! Note that they are all right hand drive.

Pulled from the 'archives', took 2 minutes to find them!

The spring has been rusted out of 'Just-In-Case' for 20 years. She still has never 'puked' the coolant.

Thanks country boy... I pulled the whole cooling system apart today (yes xmas day) and cleaned it all up and put it back together and it seems to be running at a lower temp... There was no thermostat in it but i do know where it should be the water pump was in good knick with no pitting on fins.. I just put a 1.6mm ( I dont know the imperial) spacer under the sealing ring in side the radiator to give the cap a bit more pressure as as soon as the temp got to 140f it would leak a lot of water out the over flow hose now that seems to have stopped.. Now it put water out of the over flow around 180f from the test i did today and that took a lot of effort to get it up that high so fingers crossed I have fixed that for now...

Oh it brought back some memories making gaskets again and the smells and trying to work out what other sets of hands have done before me...http://cdn.tractorforum.com/images/smilies/santaclaus.gif

My bad- confused temp ratings with pressure - lack of sleep does that.

thats cool mate.... that make sense now.... yes the old girl runs about 180 f and when she is working hardish in the heat she get up to 200 and just a touch over... we are in summer down here..
