Manifold looks superb mate, not a fan of those mirrors though.

 

[Scotty_b]

What is the lug on the top of the mirrors? Is it a button for the doors?

rob rob rob will it ever end not decided if i like the new mirrors as yet but i think there growing on me

 

[v-g]

I like the mirrors.

Could we get a picture of the whole front so we can see the mirrors in context please?

 

[RobDon]

Soon, planning a change to the front end so will do whole front pics after that.

The thing on top of the mirrors is to tighten them up once adjusted.

 

[Murdered LCR]

i love your car its pure sex lol the mirrors look superb when are you ftting the carbon bonnet ? and what are you going to do with the front end

 

[RobDon]

Carbon bonnet has been on for a while now. Front end - I'm opening it right up for max airflow to the intercooler, standard lower middle grill and number plate mounting part will be gone.

 

[Murdered LCR]

Ah wicked I love the look of that I have the grill removed from mine. Are you going to not run a crash bar then ? As it's behind the number plate recess .

 

[RobDon]

Modified crash bar, reinforced with steel box section across the top.

I have been following your project before having an account there!
NICE ! !

 

[RobDon]

Today I took my front bumper off so I could fit the 19-row Setrab oil cooler, it's mounted on the nearside front, it will get good airflow through the side grill. While the bumper was off I took the intercooler off and cleaned up everything around the front. Found some rust spots so rubbed them down, treated them and gave the front end a coat of satin black hammerite, same with the crash bar.

The oil cooler is mounted on rubber bobbins, as per the instructions.

I'll be fitting the Backdraft baffled sump, along with the SEM, and powdercoated intercooler pipes, so more updates soon.

Bodywork parts have been painted so will be picking them up this week and fitting.

 

[RobDon]

Got the painted parts back today, look awesome, powdercoated parts coming back tomorrow and re-done wheels should be back in a week or two.

 

[Damoegan]

Rob when are you going for your first track day this year?
Have you looked into it yet?
You still going to Crail on the 8th of March?

 

[RobDon]

Don't know, my car should be ready for action from March onwards. Hoping to make Crail on the 8th yes, but might not if parts don't come back in time.

Here's a little preview of one part, front splitter is now smooth and gloss black!
