at the moment work has slowed down because ive ran out of funds, i didnt have all the money in a bank account ready to go, so ill justy slowly be adding bits as funds come in, first thing is an ecu, then we can start with cooling.

Got an email back from racing beat who ran 242mph down bonnieville about heat as they didnt run any vents on the bonnet:

Your question was forwarded to Jim Mederer, Racing Beat's co-founder and chief engineer, for review. The following is his reply to your inquiry:


Our Bonneville FD had a custom chassis with no part of the stock chassis. I made the driveline tunnel quite large to allow heated air to pass through. The entire car had a carbon fiber underpan bonded to the chassis. I used a 4" thick radiator to restrict air volume while maintaining high speed cooling. Intercooling was done with ice and water to reduce drag. I urge you to use a 4" to 5" high spoiler lip to obtain down force at the rear - critical for traction and stability.

Now he was flat out for 4miles straight so im not gonna be generating quite as much heat as he is, but its an interesting way of getting rid of heat, from what he wrote im guessing he was using a chargecooler setup, i have thought about that myself as ive got a bookmark for a company in US that will sell me a kit rated for 1200bhp for 469 dollars, im holding off on the intercooler at the moment even though ive designed my setup the best way i know until i look into it a bit more.

The aim of the car is to do it once and once only, im not going to be upgrading things i have already messed with as its a waste of time and money.

Ill admit the 5k isnt going to be achievable at the moment as i need to spend about about 3k and ive already spent 3k but the car cost 3k so if i can complete the car including buying it for 10k(give me 1k for extra kits and bobs as they pop up, w/i) i think ill have achieved something special.

Cant think of any 200mph 600bhp cars you can buy for 10k, apart from maybe an old v8 drag car!
