Mine and TP's differences aside, that is an awesome machine by anyones standards. Looks like it was a nice day for it too.
Whats the 2nd cooler at the front for, Rotrex oil supply?

Yup engine oil on the drivers side, Rotrex on the passengers side. We struggled to get it all in - gearbox oil cooler next!
I'm going to have to move the battery back under the bonnet to make space. Then its brake ducts time.
After the expensive problems with extreme heat at Brands last year, I'm not taking any chances.

Why??
It needs Syncros first as they were shagged 2 years ago!
I'd pretty much not got 3rd and 4th was failing at the end. Dave couldn't select 3rd atall Friday and it was fresh oil in Thursday.
Money would be better spent on a front splitter, bigger rear spoiler and flat flooring it.
The tires are suprisingly good, however terrible under braking so anything that can be done to improve downforce will be an instant winner.
Good luck for the rest of the season Dave. I recon you will have the legs on Bo on the big power flatter surfaces as they will really suit the car. We got the power....just need to slow the thing down!

I'm working on a decent way of fitting brake cooling ducts from the fog light holes on my facelift bumper to the disks, but it's quite tight behind there to get any decent diameter hose routing nicely.
And Carlie brought us a bit of luck too - you can come again.
