The fans came off a scorpio cosworth, if you're still using the standard radiator then you can use the twin electric fans from any dohc sierra 1990-93.

Our main reason for changing the fans was for better cooling, unfortunately due to our constant tinkering we cannot verify any gains in bhp.
When we first built the car and had it dyno'd it produced 182 bhp and 206 lb/ft. We had the car dyno'd a couple of weeks ago and the figures are now 202.5 bhp and 233 lbs/ft.
Small gains yes, but through all our problems we're still happy.
New graph will be posted this weekend

The rear spoiler has just come back from the paint shop (Alan's flat).
Should have it fitted to the car today.

:lol: Looks great Pablo

Anything else on the list pre ring trip now that you have solved the cooling issue?

No mate, now that we have finally sorted it out we have decided to leave it alone, engine wise, and just enjoy it for the next few events.
The few jobs that we will be doing are.
1. Oil and Filter change
2. New front shocks on order - Koni sports
3. Spare Kuhmo MX15 Tyre and wheel.

Very good idea - if it aint broke ....

I would be tempted to flush the brake fluid before you go too (if that hasnt already been done)

I presume you will be taking some spares along with you like brake pads etc?

Thanks for the note about the brake fluid.

Will be taking plenty of spares, Brake pads, fan belts, fluids, spark plugs, all the usual and of course Alan's tool box

The information that you put up about the Nurburg ring essentials and costs has been our bible in getting ready for this.

I cannot thank you enough for sharing this information :thumb:

I only stole from the guys on northloop.co.uk plus added a couple of bits myself :oops:

No problem - i am really excited for you guys, I remember my first time so well it still give me butterflies thinking about it

Have you got the circuit driver guide to the ring ?
