Looking good BB, I'd be after having a couple of days off, going down thee and seeing if they mind you waxoiling the wishbones etc while you can get at 'em easily.

They might be OK though already.

What's all that stuff in the space behind the front wheel?

I have a sneaking suspicion the chimaera behind the banana, is my motor judging by the colour peaking out of the covers in the second photo.

Feel free to post royalties to..........

Nice ACT hoses!

Is Body Shop sorting the rear screen BB?

If not, one of our TVRCC herts members recently had his done locally. I could get the name.

Better hope it never goes wrong, it looks like it's built into the car early on and might not be too easy to remove!

BB, while they have the car in bits and access to the blower fans can they do the mod to stop it pressurising the wing and just take the air directly into the car?

It can be accessed from inside the drivers foot well but it as real bd of a job, basically the accelerator pedal gets in the way of getting it out but it can be done.

I have not heard of this mod. Is there not just an eye ball on the end of the pipe? I thought the heater system that pressurises the wing on the passengers side. Mr Shpub care to comment.
