Hi.

Been doing some minor mods to better cool the beast.

Skip the first 7 pics (old ones) in the album here.

Just to spice things up, I'm uploading some here.








Cheers,
Joao

Looks good! I really like the scoops in the nose cone.
may I ask where you got them?

Great shots and a great car.
I'm jealous about the weather, anything I see lately are clouds and showers


andybod - 17/8/07 at 07:35 PM

like that, as said where are the vents from

The side vents in the bonnet are very nice.

HI.

Thanks for your words.

The Naca ducts were off eBay here

If I were building again I would buy ones with round exits (plumbable) to plumb air intake, but as I have sponge filter, I just bought this ones.

The side vents were inspired in another builder , can't remember who, though...

Six round holes (top and bottom), some cuts, a black painted mesh inside glued with silkaflex and presto!

Actually temperature is kind of low for this time of the year (25º - 30º C)

Cheers,
Joao

looks lovely that - nice side vents!
thought it was a trick of the light until I realised you have 2 sets of setbelt holes in the seats!

Just added an extra vent on my nose cone too as I found the temps were getting up really high when sitting in traffic 100degC+. Hopefully the hot air has somewhere to go now. Will post pics once the mesh has finished sticking.

I have a temperature sensor right in front of the brake reservoir (left side!), just behind the engine, on top of the scutle, and the max I saw was 40ºC - after turning the engine off.

AB performance do a nice Naca duct for the nose with said round exits.
