Went in my m8s Rally car & when it's moving its Cold ....unlike the warm air which was coming in through the Engine bay via the heater blower !!! Also where now to fit the old Ariel  |

Get a internal strip airial that sticks to the glass Yup my car gets bloody hot, might be a good thing on a cold day but like you said it gets unbearable on a hot day (hot being 15 degrees lol ) |

I've got a drift works roof scoop only £252. Identical to the trs roofs scoops  will hopefully be much more bearable with a bit of air flow. Hoping to be removing my dash completely soon and getting a standalone dash lot of weight to be saved ________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |

Why did you fit another one ? Ooh well  I'm sure now you had said this someone will snap it up !!! Can you get a Picture please Martin Yes it's a fully functional roof vent. With interior vents. Drain pipe. Filter mesh inside etc. I fitted another one as I had 2.. so it was just a toss up between them! If you ever see my project thread which is lurking in the depths, there are pictures of the current one fitted to the new car. I can only grab pictures in a few days when I'm next with the car. Edit. This is the current one.  |

Looks amazing Martin What rear wings /.Arches are they ?.....fibreglass ? Placed it back further on the roof because I Have headlining still in & want my interior lights & central locking roof centre to be used still ....also I can keep the Ariel in the same place & big bonus is the head lining is flat inside further back making the fit inside spot on when cut round Bonded it on & have to back fill edges tonight !!! Raised it 3mm to stop water from the back of the roof flowing into the back of the roof vent .. I will file the outer top of the inner vent so the outer top drops down at the back nice & flush ....

Heater Matrix went before FCS so decided to remove heater Then decided while dash was out to Remove excess Weight & get flooked .. And sort out Satchell Shift tunnel hole & fit new boot internally ... Plus even with the Blower in ..it's not cool air on a warm Track day / Action day etc ... And I would love 15s but my Ashs 330s won't take them ...  Must admit Mei I am keeping my eyes out for some AP / other Quality setup for the future that as you rightly said would save yet more Weight & bonus of cheaper tyres Sadly Mei I enjoy doing things on the car Mechanical Accusump & Oil pressure gauge being fitted hopefully Friday ! The Heated Screen can wait until after Forge day next month |

Well apart from my head unit / stereo fitted back in the cars nearly finished It's been apart for 15 days & not used . Took it out along the ring road tonight & gave it good run . That 40kilos in car interior weight loss in total .....Massively notices & the car feels much quicker through the gears and appears even to handle better Yes it's a little noisier inside but nothing stupid & if you like Throttle Bodies then the bark inside now is amazing The roof vent is amazing & the really cool air coming inside is controllable & quite ...I'm surprised at this & no more warm engine heat through the vents Just got to order two new Dunlop DZ03Gs in 16s for Combe Forge Action day next month & game on I'll Post some pics up hopefully Tuesday of my dark slate grey flocking dash / centre console / steering column surround plus other bits . Big thank you for a amazing job by Southwest Flocking also known as Lee / 3gan on here He doesn't talk about his talents when he should The colour looks much better & doesn't show any dust or dirt up as black does ...winner . |
