Paul Whiffin Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Any pics Paul? I didn't get time today as they were collected to go off to Silverstone. I'll take some tomorrow though. Its not finished off properly yet though, function over style in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried in behind the bumper before, I'd imagine it gets very dirty very quickly down there though. Least in the engine bay its easy to remove to clean.

Paul Whiffin Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Nice one (again) boys Now get along to Llandow. We'd like to believe me, its just time for us I'm afraid, the week after is Brands Hatch, we've got to do some testing in between now and then as well so its a bit difficult to fit everything in along with having a life! I'll have a word with Steve and see if we can sort something though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Would be great to see you guys there if you could make it, and thre Friday night at the hotel/pub before is fun too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 Here you go, a couple of pics of the air intakes we knocked up the day before Silverstone. I'll be getting the bonnet intake smoothed in eventually and I'll also make up a proper intake for the pipe jammed in next to the towing eye. Definately works though, we created our own wind tunnel with an air line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Why not fit a filter panel directly to the naca duct, and pipe that stright to the turbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 Why not fit a filter panel directly to the naca duct, and pipe that stright to the turbo? Good idea but time consuming, complicated and for no real benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 OK - just wondered if you have a "pre-fitted" photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefgroover Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I like the heat shield between the turbo and brake master cylinder, do you sel them or where do I get one like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 I like the heat shield between the turbo and brake master cylinder, do you sel them or where do I get one like that? I can supply you a sheet of it and you'll then have to cut it to fit your car, its very easy stuff to work with so its not hard to do.

Chiefgroover Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 OK let me know the cost posted to N.I. and i'll sort it asap, as i'd like to fit before the engine goes in early next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need to do it with the engine in place so you know how much clearance you have around the downpipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Going to Snetterton this evening for a bit of track action, cant wait to get there! Only thing I've changed is the rear tyre size, gone up to a 295/30 from a 285, hoping it wont rub anywhere, soon find out! Got a plan for a new exhaust coming soon, its just to quiet for me! Should be doing something a bit different to the norm on the new one, I can tell you one thing, its going to be titanium and very light.
