Thanks, I am in the process of making a smaller wheel for the engine side, I have the disc made with the groove just need to put some holes in it & slot the centre hole, I will see how it goes.

Nice job :cool:

Very cool would be interested how you find it. Remember to change the throttle pedal stop bolt so you don't snap the cable. Been there done that. :o

Yes, that's the next job! It feels better anyway hopefully it will be on the road, just waiting on my registration now.

Definitely worth the time & effort, had a couple of short runs out today & it definitely felt better:)

Long time update. I have moved to Sunny Wolverhampton and had to build a garage for my car at the new house but now the sun is out I thought I would tackle some of the little things I have been thinking of doing.

I wanted to dam the the nosecone to get as much air going through the intercooler and radiator as possible. I thought about piddling around with templates and tape and glue then thought bugger it, expanding foam. I covered the insides with a bin bag and squirted expanding foam around the inside of the nosecone.



Trimmed it round the nosecone openings.



I did that a few times to fill as many voids as I could then removed the bin bag



And covered it with black neoprene.

With the grilles back on its looking pretty good and is helping keep intake and engine temps down.
