Av heard there meant to be better mate but not tried them yet. The guy recomended polysport because I wanted it for more road use. If you want them for track go for PolyRace.

Just a little update

Now that most of the engine is done i thought it was time to start under the car. Made a start building up the rear axel and tie rod brackets....



Then decided there was still to much under the bonnet so thought i dont need that massive bulky fan in there



Got myself a couple of these



The finished result



So much happier with how it looks now

What do you guys think? Cheers for all the good words

Not got an exact date for it getting finished Dan, Would like it done for show time next summer so i've got a year to finish it.

Got a real big shopping list so i need to start saving. Just saw a nice set of brakes for it but there not to cheap and neither is the custom roll cage. The wife will love me when i tell her HOW MUCH

Only wheels i have for it the now are standard 14" sport wheels. I know what wheels i want but they will be one of the last thing i buy for it, There aftermarket but they should look good an work well with the colour scheme. The people that have seen them reckon they will look good

If you just give them a phone at rally design mate they will sort you out with a full set including exhaust mounts if you want them. The only thing to check is the front tie rod brackets under the radiator, Check an see what size yours are (internal diameter). I just ordered them and they sent the only ones they do, They were to small for mine. I have the 58mm ones (larger phase 2 brackets)

It's pretty easy Mark, there is two wires on the plug for the fan and there is two wires on the slimline fans. Just join the two from the plug to the two on the fans. Job done, just make sure you let it heat up an get fans to come on an make sure they are running the right way
