Bloody cheapskate

What where the deciding factors in how you run the headers? forward as opposed to straight down?
Car looks amazing and built to last with the drivetrain looking like a transformer part

I ran them forward to try and get the heat away from the driver and get a nice flow , I wanted to run longish headers and system, with the dry sump on this car the pipes go under the engine so the route is nice .ive also got the engine further back using this route , on road cars I go down and back like normal

Thanks Graig, loving the deepdish rears
I always assumed heatsoak to be worse with forward running headers with the heat being blown back over engine etc?

Air flow over the headers is better than them cooking in no air flow , I run my turbos the same and it works well , most of this cars life will be spent at speed so good air flow , with Danny driving high speed

[7 TVR]

Have seen the heat glow you get of your turbos!!!
Thanks for the replies Graig must pop into your workshop next time i'm in Birmingham!

Loving the way you have extended the rear, looks very cool mate

[clive f]

looks awesome, are you still going to use side exit end cans?

[tinker-27]

Yes still using side exit ,

Love it!! Great to see another late model road car being turned into an out & out racer. The thought and quality of work that is going into this car is commendable to say the least. Hope to see it out in DTEC for a couple of races next year, although we may need a completely new class for you, Perry, Jamie & Mike.

[tinker-27]

Glad you like !! It will be nice to see it against cars with budgets ten times Craig's !!

Looks stunning - obviously an awful lot of (quality) work gone into it.

However, independent TB's, more power than mine, longer wheelbase, wider track, wider rubber, better suspension geometry..... I hate it

[teamHOLDENracing]

Hi Craig - not sure yet, hopefully at least some Britcar.
