Nothing wrong with a bit of ventilation Kam

I suppose its better than fitting a temperature gauge? just stick your hand in there, yep warm enough now

I'm dying to get that bulkhead done. It looks such a mess. Soon though, soon
Got to do some on the car today. Have slaved in the old Honda rad and got the temp up but can't get any temp readings yet so will take my aux gauge in and plumb it in to check what it's at. Been looking at the polo rad again. I thinks it's gonna be the one to use. Put the flip front back on it's hinges and made some cuts and can get it to sit alright. It does sit out of the grille area a little but so does the manifold so a new grille idea will have to be made. I'm in two minds wether the connections are too close to the wheel. I might try it out for a bit or if possible I'm gonna get it's width shortened by about 50mm or so just to bring them away from the wheel. let me know what you think.

[ginger_monkey]

cheers guys. I'm running my twin dtm as I had on before. Was loud with an a-series so with this unit it'll be mental. And yes I'm loving it baby. want to get it on the road and playing now. Few weeks to go I think.

I did a run past a few workmen by the club. They heard me coming out of the compound and all looked around. Then when I blatted past they gave the thumbs up and alot of smiles

Just watched vid mate, sounds awesome. Have to get used to that torque steer, even with the suspension set up it will still do it. Bet it looks cool in the flesh !!

Vid was a bit windy for the noise but looked like it picked up well!

Mr Monkey I cant believe you've got to the first drive stage in around a couple of months after taking the a series out, thats some serious going there, kudos to you mate

That looks great fun, well done

Where abouts did you buy your mini from, as the number plate is only 42 different to mine (mines 588)

[ginger_monkey]
