The second oil cooler is mounted underneith the rear windscreen. The bootlid will also be raised a bit to air cooling to the fan housing.

The oil cooler on the engine has been removed.

4age,

What, roughly, would a car like yours cost to produce?

I really don't want to know :wink: Never keep slips when you build a project car.

Hopefully by end of next month she will be running. All depending on the guys that make my exhaust flanges and intercooler. This weekend I will probably finish off all the wiring and install the Gotech PRO X.

Thanks. :hangloose:

One other nifty trick I used on my red bug. The gear shift has been relocated closer to the seat and lifted up slightly. No more bending over to reach the gear lever. :wink:
