I have been warned about cold running and the oil not thining out etc etc etc..
Car is a MPI injection.
I get the usual engine 'not powering up', on gear changes, but this is due to the K & N and exhaust.
just wondered if it is anything to worry about, or shall i just continue to drive how i would anyways.

oil reaches temp anyway, theres no stopping it
DO NOT drive your car hard when its just been started up after being left for a while, practically bare metal on metal...nottttt good
ps due to my clubby having a front mounted radiator, the temp needle is permanently buried well within the blue, pretty much all the time, its causing no probs at all

i always wait until my car, or anything else i drive/ride to warm up until i start to drive it harder!!!!!
unfotunatly my mate never listens too me when i tell him off for pasting his car when he has only just started it!!!! oh well, his loss!

Apart from the fact that your heater won't work very well.ps due to my clubby having a front mounted radiator, the temp needle is permanently buried well within the blue, pretty much all the time, its causing no probs at all
