Wow, sounds ace, nice to see your still playing with it cp, and is that Jim sporting a grey haired praying position in the pit garage? lol
That cooling system looks a good idea, though I'm sure over time you will need to possibly replace the ducting, as i thing it might ware through from movement etc.
Ive seen car's where they duct from the front bumpers, like fog light openings etc.
How close are they tyres to the shock/springs? looks from them pics very very close, what tyres are they?
Suspension and exhaust setups look the real deal too, see you have been sourcing some nice stuff that Ive not either seen, or just cant remember as its been a while! lol
Hope you fix the issue you have and get it upto scratch how you want.

Charles - which coilpack are you using and where is it mounted?
The GM ones suffer terribly from heat soak and when they get hot - they run like the ignition is retarded...
The Ford ones also suffer apparently and a friend had to re-mount it on the inner wing as it used to even cut out when it was super-hot.
great to see you charles and of course jim and good to meet mark. proper shame about the problems but still an awesome car and im sure you'll get it sorted
Funky looking tie bars there.
Glad it was a good outing even if you did have probs.
Can't get to pages 34 & 35
?
Charles, the forum had a brain fart and lost its links to some posts/threads/pages.
Right dunno what's happening with the posting here but I've finally managed to open up the last page and actually get to read what's been posted.
Thanks Will for the advice about the dispak. It is on our list of suspects along with crank sensor, water temp sensor and spark plugs. The engine has been stood a long time and we already have had all the spark plugs fail even tho they've not run for any length of time which indicates that stuff deteriorates over time irrespective of whether it's been used or not.
The Tyres are Dunlop racing slicks which are difficult to get clearance for cos of the right angled profile they have where the side Walls meet the flat. That's what gives them their ability to retain full grip right up until they break away. There is no gradual progressive under or over steer with them. They either give full grip or none
have always loved this car and the originality of cp's thinking on resolving issue's.
one of my all time fav's
