There's a good story behind that
basically it goes back to the cars 1st track outing at Snetterton in december 06 The bottom rad hose had been rubbing on the fan cowling and decided to split whilst i was on track, after a morning in the pits and a bit of creativity we came up with a repair, the split pipe was cut and sleeved and then packed out with a red bull can (there's now one wrapped and taped into the bottom hose to hopefully stop it from going again)
Stu has a video of it somewhere with no front end and a couple of red bull cans underneath collecting coolant
Engine bay looks good mate
I've got a ribena bottle for a catch tank at the moment. Works fine!
Robbing your idea's again mate
im still tempted with the other pipework we were talking about, will do some measuring at some point and see if it's do-able

That's alright, i steal plenty of yours! Yeah i think it would look sweet, just wish i had done that now too!
Just booked my Brands ticket
If clearance is an issue i wont bother, will see if Mick will let me order and then return if i don't need it
Looking forward to Brands, especially for a greasy bacon roll

Mine collected a litre of emulsified condensation in 1200 miles, hardly any oil at all
Looks good Ben, very oem looking

I think there building down there most days, hence why we went on a sunday when no one was about

The last catch tank (ribbena bottle) seemed to only collect condensation and very little oil/sludge, luckily this is easy enough to empty so will see how it goes

Latest Update
As usual i was bored so decided to do something else to the car
The oil cooler has now been removed and hopefully i'll be having a custom one sized up over the next month or so.
Since seeing the job done on Martin's cam cover i decided i'd get some of my engine parts powder coated, there away at the moment but will hopefully have them back in the next week or so.
Next job while it's off the road is to tidy up the engine bay and give it a damn good clean as it's all a bit dirty under there.
Will post up more progress pics as i take them

We'll i finally got my parts back from the powder coaters, i wasn't sure how it was all going to look but now it's all refitted im happy with the overall look.
The powder coaters have done a top notch job and Martins painting on the throttle body is spot on aswell (cheers mate)
I've still got to give the engine bay a proper clean so only got the one pic for the moment.
Comments welcome
