As ever looks great! Love the accessory come engine mounting bracket. Really neat idea and keeps everything tidy. Charge cooler heat exchange also looks nice and big, what are it's dimensions?
The pre-rad for the charge cooler is 350mm x 350mm and a 40mm core. It is a twin pass unit so the water runs through the rad twice to aid extra cooling before heading to the charge coolerMG CHRIS said:
Looks stunning so far. When is the target to get it on the road, or is it whenever you get it done.
Keep up the work.
I have had the build 12 months now and I never really give myself a target to get it completed. I wanted to just enjoy putting it together. Without putting myself under any pressure, the car will be registered and roadworthy for Stonleigh next yearKeep up the work.

Thanks for the comments. This is my first kit build and I must admit I am enjoying every moment. I have had the charge cooler made to fit the space I had to the maximum. The company who made it mainly do work for Radical so should be well up to the job. The core size is very big and more than adequate for my car, (300+ BHP) but the bigger the better !!
Pic below from last week ends Motorsport Show at the Ricoh centre. This week it's off to the Top Gear live show.

Car is now back at home safe and sound after it's month holiday getting around some shows. A nice surprise last night was on Motors TV were my car was on the Motorsport UK show review Will be shown again on Monday 12th at 12:00 hrs.
Will now be on with the plumbing of oil coolers, water, fuel etc, and next step will be going to the Dyno to be mapped and power run set ups

Ive been following your build over on the mev forums and its very impressive i can't wait to see it some time. I should start on my mev build next year the lightweight exocet can't wait to start it and if mine turns out half as good as yours i will be happy just got to sell my mgb gt first. By the way you have got a much cleaner garage than me where are all your tools.

Thanks Chris. The MEV group is growing very nicley and well worth investing into the brand. The events next year that are planned just for MEV owners is amazing - including their own race circuit, of which we are able to have a say in the lay-out !!
