Round 2

Here are some new pics of my prototype coolers.

Basically when they were first created I had the inlets and outlets that connect to the hoses made in 70mm so I had to make new hoses in 70mm which became a pain for me as it was going to take a while to get right as I went through 2 sets of hoses and it was taking too long for my liking!

In the end I had the inlets and outlets redone and now they are plug and play and connect with the stock hoses with no problems so I am over the moon.

So now that is out of the way It's a case of checking if they fit in the car with the factory hoses connected which they should fingers crossed!

This means it's time for some back to back testing against the stock coolers.

I think the connections look amazing, they are so well made and the company that has made them have been so helpful!!!!

They look the business Nick, can't wait to see how they'll perform. Have you figured out what direction your are going with the mounting stubs yet:- machine for clips or tap and bolt?

What I and the manufacturers have decided to do is leave them how they are for now!

The reason being that there is some data he wants me to collect to fine tune these cores by changing the internal fin design.

Once we are both happy with the cores he will then finish off the the mounting stubs and machine them for the clips etc....etc...

I could even have the end tanks made more round and beaten into shape with a high mirror polished finish but again this all adds to the cost and it's not like they are on display or will benefit from extra hp!

Great looking car. And friends with equally good tastes. Was that at an airstrip? How fast did you go?

It was an airstrip and I did 193mph on the GPS which is not bad.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

It has been a test of patients and the thing is I hope the test of patients has come to an end so I can test the coolers
