It's looks so much quicker and easier making moulds when it's just a few pics and it's done.

Good idea to mould the whole inside. Be like Oem, but lighter. You going to do a small rear window? Or no window?

You're not wrong there. Many, many hours and steps.

Yes, it will have a rear window...but not quite as large as the OEM NC glass.

Hi James, I didn't do any timed laps last Thursday as I was bedding in new brake pads and adjusting F/R bias...and the circuit had plenty of standing water on the race line from the night before's downpour.

I'm looking forward to doing some more timed laps in May.

Cheers,
Danny

Well the airflow returning from the radiator duct to atmosphere it leaving perpendicular to the airflow over the body.

I guess photo(s) can be deceiving. Having things painted black certainly hides definition.
