Oh my word that's cool. Massive want.

Just thought I would offer a quick bit of advice.. we have recently found with our Motorsport Elise flow to the oil coolers from the side scoops will not be that effective. We did have our gearbox cooler mounted there and recently changed to a similar "size" laminova cooler which dropped the oil temp nearly 20 degrees! Car looks great will be interested to see how it performs

Gave the old girl a polish before the goodwood trackday yesterday...

[BBS-LM]

Loverly, mush want.

Once we get the charge temps under control we can release the rest of the power
