Wow, that interior looks neat!!!!!!!!

Would it make any difference to enclose/ram the air filter so that it doesn't suck in hot air?

Thanks for the comments. I love my interior and it is always a point of conversation with this car.

I have contemplated doing a heat shield but its just a weekend car for fun and wanting a less is more clean look in the bay so currently in the process of hiding the wiring in the wings to tidy up the bay and this would go against that. I have a decent size intercooler which does a great job of keeping things cool as well as a phelonic gasket so temps are kept low. I'm sure it would make a difference but for the gain I would rather keep the bay clean for now.





As you can see this is the start of me doing the wiring. Long way to go yet.

Also ditched the AC as its always cold and raining in the Uk so not much need for it.

Just realised you are from the UK so not likely to get our 38-46 degree summer temperatures.

Welcome to the forums.
The seats looks great. Always good to get ideas from cars that have been developed to the extent yours has.
How are you finding traction with that sort of power?
Do you have to feather the throttle in first and second?
Does it jump lanes if you power on too hard through curves?

Thanks for the kind words. That's what this game is all about. Helping each other create monsters.

Power wise 1st and 2nd you can't do WOT as ill just leave 11's on the Tarmac.
Once into 3rd it grips and the LSD does its business and you can feeling it transferring the power from wheel to wheel thus creating a snaking feeling but controllable if you hold the steering wheel.
Cornering is fine as long as your mindful of what gear you're in but the diff works its wonders here.
