Thats a good idea!

I keep meaning to do something similar to the TVR.... the problem is compounded by the fact that the engine is not a crossflow so the exhaust and inlet share the same hot air!

bought the carbon inlets from carbon mod's at stoneleigh, the ducting form revotec too, its a job ive been meaning to do and as i had the drill and pu out though i might as well do it.

Not tried it yet though.

Nice. Seen one like that before.

well cooling and vents must work, engine temps are down, can feel the warm air coming through the mesh side vents i made up.
Yahoo,

You coulld improve the cooling by fitting baffle plates to each side of the rad to block the gap between there and the bonnet webs.

I mounted mine to the bosses on the front of the rad tanks.
