Few noob questions but what is the purpose of the roof scoop? Does it increase air pressure inside the cabin and create downforce? And where is the most correct place to fit bonnet vents so they're most effective? (Without the obvious 'on the bonnet' ��)

The scoop is to let air in to the car as you don't get much from the slider on the polycarbonate windows, vents where mounted there as I've still got bonnet resses with clips to be fitted , I got the battery holder from eBay and the 250amp breaker

There should be few good bits in the pipe line , do change front arms and haven't really looked at the engine to much I had a small oil leak so I replaced the rocker cover but couple weeks went bye and still had a leak and didn't have a proper look but on closer inspection the sump was fucked lol so wiped that of and fitted a new one not genuine as only to get me out of trouble for little while

It went really well handles good on corners just needs a bit more on the straights I'm looking in to things at the moment and a cnc head with new cams and fuel pump upgrade is what I've got in mind and a lighten flywheel to get rid of the dual mass crap
