thanks for all the input,yes,heat and humidity,its the killer there for cars,it will only be used for fun,and be under cover the rest of the time,it was the long runs at near flat out that i was wondering about,i've just come back from there,it was 26c at night and up to 35c daytime,so an oil cooler,even bigger sump (has a larger abarth alloy 1 at the mo) and open engine lid,then guess i'll see what happens..............i cant bear to leave it behind though!!!
