Cars look epic people, top snaps as ever Darren
Thanks Rich
Blimey, with that new splitter, I'm guessing you don't spend much time in the Lewisham shopping centre multi-storey!
Never go near the place Nick
TBH it doesn't rub that muchStarted mocking up for a bigger heat shield, for those of you familiar with an LCR engine bay this one will sit to the left of the relay box by the TIP meaning the MAF will be on the "Cold side"
mk1 template on top
Pictures are a bit poor but the mk1 is sitting infront of the mk2
It needs a bit of trimming to get the fit right then it'll be cut out of the same material as the mk1 and then when I'm happy with the fit it'll be wrapped in carbon fibre.

That looks better than the first shield mate. Will look awesome when you use your carbon magic on it lol
The mk1 was based on a template of the Jabba shield so the size was pretty good
you used a ruler
obviously doing it properly compared to my "just cut and make it fit" effort
Precision engineering mate
Fitted the template this morning
It fitted pretty well the first time, only very small adjustments were needed, once it was right I cut the pieces out of the board and glued them together
Then another test fit and some more minor adjustments
And finally cut and fitted the base
It's now all glued together, next stage will be to wrap it in carbon which will make it nice an strong.
Also whilst we were out today I noticed the oil temp was getting a bit high,
I wasn't really pushing it that hard, the temp sensor is in the oil filter housing unit and I'm running Fusch Titan race pro 5W40 whioch was changed in Feb this year.
I might look at getting an oil cooler soon

I'm running the same oil with a oil cooler and lapping the NurburgRing it's didn't go above 102C in 28 heat.
Heat guard is looking good

Oil cooler that bad boy, your as much of a hooligan as me I will get you a shopping list of parts!!!
I will get you a shopping list of parts!!!Thanks mate
It's some kind of high density foam board, not sure what its proper name is, the board itself is very strong.Oil cooler that bad boy, your as much of a hooligan as me
I think I'll have to start collecting the bits for this soon.
Nice work on the heatsheild.... fancy making me one.... pretty please
I might have a smaller Jabba size one going spare soon
Oh now you're talking. Pm me when ready
That is going to look beautiful, think I need to start learning this carbon business!
What gauges you got too buddy?
Will do mate
It's not too hard to get the hang of it just make sure you start on something simple and flat. it can get a bit expensive though.
