Finished piccies - pic heavy.....

As its a nice day I thought I would get some pics of the car. Not anywhere nice unfortunately

Also realised I have virtually no general pics of the car, so grabbed some while the sun was out

Topped the gearbox oil up, thankfully I can just get a key in the drain plug, which I wasnt expecting!

Engine is still being tweaked, ok up to around 70mph now and goes if you floor it. Going to get it set up properly on the rollers next month.

The electronic gadget is a Phormula KS3 knock analyser. It also allows headphones to be plugged in to check for knock too. Clever stuff

Darren is still making the kits too

Got any of the engine bay? I take it thats the induction poking out the oposite side to the exhausts

Jesus David, that looks mental with the lid off.
Finally, an engine bay to match Fozzie's. Well

David
It looks fantastic.

One small question that bothers me whenever I see it: Is the air intake pulling cold enough air there? It looks like a particularly hot spot.

I'd perhaps be tempted to duct it to a source of coldest possible air before spending a lot of effort on trying to map it.

Thanks for the kind comments guys

Yes it seems to get plenty of cold air, at rest inlet air temps at the plenum are about 30deg, and drop to around 20deg on the move

I am going to be building a box around the filter which will force it to pull cold air in from the vents in the side of the bonnet at some point.

It'll be getting mapped with the bonnet and nose off anyway - just to keep everything cool.

That is a very nice engine bay indeed!

Are parts of your exhaust headers made from silicone hose?!

Apart from the obvious point, that I imagine silicone prob wouldn't take exhaust temps very well Are you referring to the lines in the exhaust that look like the exhaust wrap lines that has been removed to remake the manifold???
