Here's a shot of my new throttle pulley, seems pretty good, time will fell when I get it out on the road.

Nice job

[Stot]

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.

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.
