Maybe, but what am I touching to make her smile? :alien:
Hmmm....whatever. But I suspect your hands are over your lap for good reason :lol:

More importantly, your project (no longer just a project) car looks brilliant. Look forward to seeing it and good luck in Belgium, quite sure it'll be great fun. 8)

Oh... and very well done to Der Stickermeister :wink:

Lovely looking car Nick. I don't think I can resist the uge to decal any longer 8)

Does this car need to run an oil cooler up front or have I missed spotting it , love the location of the oil breather catch tank.. I hope imitation is a sincere form of flattery. I have to copy that too :shock:

Good luck with it in all your events

There is a 3.2 cooler in the standard position under the right front wing, the oil lines run through the car.

Nick, slightly OT, but are you in Tielt next week, for the TAC Rally? There will be a few of us Brits there in the historic class. The tarmac is very slippy if it is at all damp!! Great fun.

Hi Keith, yes! Slowly Sideways will be doing the Saturday stages from SS5 onwards. We will be arriving on Thursday evening, doing the recce on Friday, although that shouldn't take too long as there are only 4 stages in the loop. We are staying in the Hotel Orchidee in Aalter. Thanks for the heads up on the tarmac!

Nick, your new car looks stunning! You're going to have some fun with that...

O/T I've got some SSIs to fit to my SC but need to sort a silencer. How loud do you reckon that Dansk is, as I like the twin out look, but don't want problems on trackdays

I'm sure the twin outlet would be too loud, even on a 105 dB day. Early cars fitted with SSIs and stainless single out Dansk silencers struggle at 105, but an SC will be tested at lower revs, and has a quieter induction system so you should be OK with a single outlet. .

If I may add to that:

My 3.2 on 2.4 headers, Leisritch (sp) two in/three out opened up is 105 dB at 2/3 red line.
Stock induction.
Sounds just great, but right on the noise limit for a hillclimb, but the silencer exhaust is about 15 years old now at least.

Lovely car Nick, a real credit to you, and a good advert for the business no doubt. Looking forward to hearing how it drives, and maybe seeing it in the metal one day. Will it be going to Mike's "firing up" evening at BS Motorsport? Tim
