Looking good. Are you going for vents through the frunk (Lotus style)? Please say yes
Just my opinion but I think you should make those wheels permanent.Made M14 thread in radiator for bleeder, long enough to survive, I hope
And got some another set of temporary wheels 15” 195/50
I was just reading another forums about ducting exhaust air from radiator into wheel wells, I might do both, because that angle of radiator points exactly where holes in the bonnet are usually made.Looking good. Are you going for vents through the frunk (Lotus style)? Please say yes
That blue circle is sketchy for feeding turbo. Arrow means direction of fluid not is it pushing or sucking. I assume it would suck in opposite direction while running.I assume you do not have the outlet like on the UT engine (green). But you can do it almost the same. Make an inlet to the turbo from the blue area. The cooling liquid always flows through that hose/pipe as required. Return line should be high up on expansion tank (red) to permit the siphon effect when engine is turned off but still hot.

I am sure the blue side is flowing/pushing regardless of water temp. Another option is drilling a hole in the freezer plug near the gearbox. That would be even more close to UT.But I should have add a outlet before engine is in drilling now wouldn’t be a smart idea
I have a note of the coolant capacity of my UK 1500 being 6.5 litres.It’s running. Engine is running, haven’t made a test drive yet hope that gearbox is ok
Punto starter motor with gear doesn’t make anymore weird noise, maybe aligned itself better.
Does anyone know stock x19 capacity of coolant fluid?
The more capacity of coolant you have, the greater the heat dissipation potential for the system. One of the few areas where bigger is better (to an extent).I have filled ~9l already and need more
*or maybe those cans were 4l each -in that case ~7l
Ha ha, I thought you meant a used X1/9 for 20$. Check the voltage regulator on the old one, that is a common cause of no charge.Used alternator not x19
