Have a look under most tintops and the exhaust is rather close to the fuel tank


Exhausts under tintops tend to have pretty good air flow over them so they may not nessecerally (sp?) get as hot as the op's. I think it should be ok though





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Quite ingenious and innovative, but I'm not keen on the concept ..... sorry but something more conventional would look much better imo





Cheers,

i like it very much! good to see something different being done

as for fuel, liquid fuel isn't flammable, its the vapours, so the tank should be fine, don't think the exhaust will be hot enought to burn petrol anyway. think it needs a spark or flame to get going.

as for the height, if you're driving along the street, and a babys parents are silly enough to be that close to the road, who's fault is that? besides you're only 1 car.

i like it!

thanks blake. i will make it as safe as humanly possible and protect everything with aluminium. also if i angle the tail pipe backwards then the arch might escape from getting sooted up from the gasses. quite a lot of motorbikes have silencers which are under the seat and mine will be way lower than that! cheers for the help everyone!

I like it and think the whole idea is cool just hope you dont have trouble with the iva inspector as they seem to always find something wrong, more so when its different.

seen photos of the fuel filler and carbon look plate, don't like that unfortunately, aluminium would look better i think, but then i really do hold a hatred for carbon fibre look stuff, if its not real carbon fibre

i know. i made a wrong purchase with a plastic filler cap and thought 'well ive paid for it so i maight as well fit it'
unfortunately it didnt look good and the hole was too big for the ally aero one. you live and learn i suppose, but its not too bad in the flesh and i am replacing it with real c/f soon! it was a spare off cut i had from the reaer bulkhead pannel.
'basset' i will be using the mnr silencer for iva with cat for emissions and db then re-installing this after iva. i need it on though as i will be having a mapping session done in the next 6 weeks or so!
