Polished alloy chargecooler reservoir/return tank yes that’s right return water that’s passed through the chargecooler and on its way to the cwa400 pump to start again

It takes a brave person to hold WOT in an F-Type for more than a few seconds! Especially on public roads ...

20 seconds at WOT. Its a fun ride.

I've told myself I'll stop at the stage 3 tune on this car. I really will. I promise!

We were on a 30 second start interval, so unless the person in front was having problems, or the person behind was way off time, you weren't going to catch or be caught. The road is closed to the public for the day.

The state is huge though. Unfortunately, it's getting harder to find empty back roads with little to no traffic without significant driving. My little stretch of rural road that I use for "testing" is getting encroached on by new subdivision and the traffic level has substantially increased. I took my car out yesterday, for its first real test runs since upgrading, and only got two passes before I gave up and came home.

Fastest I've driven an F-Type was back in 2014 at an "F-Type Beyoind Limits" event at Millbrook in Bedfordshire up their straight mile (actually only 3/4 mile - last 1/4 for braking hard before a sharp turn!) I was allowed two runs (just floor it!) and reached an indication 168mph by the 3/4 mile marker. I didn't time it, but it was more than 3 seconds! Fun couple of hours.
