So the binnacle (and other dash bits) have arrived and started to test fit the new internal sills 😉

Hello Alias23, did you finally install a gearbox oil cooler? If yes did it resolve your issues? Which gearbox oil cooler did you choose?
Thanks!
Just posted my response on your thread buddy

The actual improvement to the gear shift can only be achieved by a retro fit of the 350 Sport+ gear shift. I think you have a 350 already so you have the shifter, the gearbox cooler would be a complimentary items to help manage those track day conditions and longevity of your gearbox.
My gearbox cooler is located under the car (vent in under tray) I was worried about the design being prone to damage and unfortunately mine did fail and required a replacement. The replacement came with additional mesh and shielding which has proved a good enhancement to the design. That said if I was to do it again, especially with enlarged side scoops, I'd be going with a solution which housed the cooler in the actual side vent which I think would be slightly safer and create more airflow for cooling. Another alternative is to forget all coolers and go with a Laminova setup. -

Currently have two options, DIY or I'm visiting HPE for my coilover install on Friday and they've said they'll bung em on for an extra hours labour 🤔
You may want to send Dan the instructions... will be more than an hour but an easy job for him.

@Karls who did you get a quote from out of interest as looking to do the same. I've reached out to a friend at Ultimate Auto Detailing up near Worcester way - Pending a price.

Okay folks so based on MetWeather this weekend we may get lucky
So assuming it remains relatively dry then im good and suggest we start formalising ideas for logistics.
C&M opens the doors at 9am, weekends are obviously their busiest days of the week, Im thinking ill probably try and get there for 9.30am and look to pre-book parking to be safe (https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/caffeine-machine-pre-booked-parking-2020-tickets-85474200635?aff=erelexpmlt)
If theres enough call for those in the South West happy to meet up again at the Air Balloon at around 8.20/8.30 to convoy over together. -
This is a cool idea although need more pics to see the whole of car etc... how did you bend the mesh so nicely. Working with mesh is one of my pet hates lol

For what it's worth .... this is the 350 airbox seems to be more domed than the 410
And you can just see the canister attached to the harness bar. quite different to the 410.
Might have to be a move to the @alias23 air filter mod .... I wonder how that would affect my warranty ?Just had a fresh batch of intakes arrive and ready for shipping 👍😉

May be worth while doing the pre book parking in advance let’s see what weather looks like Tuesday

Well I don't think I've had a delivery of soo much carbon fibre in my life 😆
I also got a sample of a new product ill be testing
Its been a long journey what with the original courier who lost us a month in time (won't happen again!). However happy to say the package has landed! Thanks to everyone for their patience!
I'll check all parts and numbers later today (currently at work work) then start work on applying the mesh for the non intake side before getting everything packed and ready for shipping out

A few updates to share... I think folks will notice that this winter my focus is currently on the interior which is odd given that last year I made the effort to remove as much as possible 😆
Anyway with the AiM dash install and a need to re-wire for the SmartyCam behind the seats it felt a good idea to remove the whole interior including the side carpets. I have longed for a full carpet setup but after one supplier sent me a LHD set three times 😱 I gave up... so I decided with some help from a friend to make my own set! Using a 350 Sport we were able to take a design, add a few tweaks, and finally make a proper cut for testing.
At this point nothing is 'stuck down' but I've very happy with how its turned out and love the proper cut outs for the footwell mats and seat fixings. The last thing I wanted was to have to cut these bits out manually with a stanley knife.
Carpet used was just test carpet so I'll now go on to get them made in a better quality carpet for final fitment!
I also managed to find a cup holder on eBay, I've found by removing the black leather bit you can get most cups sitting nice and secure, so hopefully no more coffee spillages!
Finally all my interior bits (including AiM dash binnacle) have been sent of for a re-trim in Alcantara so more interior updates to come in the coming weeks!-

You could also take that lead from the front service panel this way you can have the rear boot closed etc... this is what I've done.

Always thought silver on the v6 was under rated! Looks great!

I would like that spliter as well, but I feel like it is going to touch everywhere ... cool list though !
It’s the street version which has the same overhang as OEM, I think the one your thinking of is the track version which has double the overhang

How did you attach @FF to the upright?

So my Lithium battery I think is on its way out... partially my fault as I left it unplugged for a few weeks... so today I placed my order for a new setup which I'm quite excited about especially as it involves a bit of sexy carbon fibre

Hi Imran
i know you did a considerable amount of research into this but did you ever consider trialling a ram air type scoop and filter similar to this...? Just thinking in terms of heat soak and air path, which I’ve not looked into on these cars yet...so maybe they’re not starved in any way like other cars can be...
(happy for this to be deleted if it gets in the way of thread discussion)
The position of the filter is directly on top of the exit of the side intake scoop so it’s getting a lot of air already, it’s also far away from the engine bay, so heat soak isn’t really noticeable.
Dont get me wrong I’m sure there’s some but on track (15 min sessions) I’ve never noticed any decrease in performance or times through out the day.
The other challenge is as you add more ‘design and functional’ bits you complicate and in turn increase costs. So it’s a balance

Looks like funnel and pipe (not included) from underside of the car. Any idea how much each unit weighs?
I just don't think there is room under the car and the front side grills are typically blocked by the rads.
So assuming it remains relatively dry then im good and suggest we start formalising ideas for logistics.

If I was purchasing again I'd go Komotec!
