Wow the difference must be huge!

I haven't actually taken it for a drive yet, it still has the straight pipe track exhaust I made for it last week and it's a tad loud

Will see how it goes tomorrow when I put the exhaust back on it.

Mounts work well, but it gets an evil vibration through the shifter cables at 8000rpm though, so might try to isolate them from the body a bit better. Although, they do make a great shift light substitute. Other wise the car is running great, so I'll spend a little time leading up to xmas and give it a bit of a tidy up in the engine bay, boot and maybe a cut n polish :)

Stop! Grinder Time :3







Has a nice little curve in the vent, but still clears my Cusco strut brace. Tomorrow I start cutting the front firewall to gain access to the radiator.

What are you aiming for with this?  It's pretty crazy man.

Any air you can redirect from going under the car and send it over decreases the pressure under the car and increases it over it.
This reduces lift/ creates downforce. (with the shape of most cars they inherently want to take off)

Nice start, I look forward to seeing the results.  I always wanted to do that to my AW11.  

Slightly confused with this. are you going to relocate the rad to the bottom of that bend?
or are you simply making a tunnel to the current position so that the air can flow through the rad and out the top of the bonnet?
 

Yeah, trying to get the air flow from behind the radiator to flow up out the bonnet and over the windscreen.
I've heavily dislike the brick wall air flow barrier behind the radiator since I bought the car and I thought this would be a more effective modification over something like a front splitter or a rear diffuser, which are both annoying things for a daily driven car.
Funnily, I believe I might even still have space for a spare tire...

More sweet grinder love.

Well there is no turning back now!


Welded in a bit of bracing to add a bit of strength back to the area where the firewall was chopped.


Everything lines up fairly well, so next up will be making some ducting out of some aluminium sheet.


Well I'm off to my second workshop to kick some progress off on the V6.
