Lovely, have you got anymore of the intercooler without the bumper on?, the rad& I/C set up look different to the std rad and RS500 style I/C. Is it different, or just the way it looks?

Yes the rad and i/c are unique to the wrc car....slightly different from the 500 setup sits further forward..

The car is 99% done...its passed it MOT and we have been doing a few easy miles just bed things in....still no sign of my dash display so we are forced to use the laptop all the time on the road...

The engine bay done on this shot apart from piping up the air injectors which is done now....we have located the air injectors as close to the capsule as we could.

Laminova coolers all piped, the car uses 4 laminova's on the g/box, front diff, power steering and engine.....

The carbon heat sheild looks pretty but I think we'll be swapping it for a titanium version, all the other heat management is ugly but extremely necessary, we've used Nimbus right down the front of the engine bay and on under the car.

We commissioned all the diffs over the easter holidays and all the controls now work a treat, we have yet to actually map the systems which each enable you to use upto 4 caliberations.

Work dependant we'll be shaking the car down in the next 3 - 4 weeks once we've had the engine maps for fuel, ignition checked.

The other overriding factor with this car is its weight and i cant wait to see how much it weighs.

Last pic of it with the ride height set and the mud flaps on.....
