That cooling setup is awesome. The bonnet looks very similar to 13 BEEF's vented bonnets.

Nice looking car too :)

Is it just me, or is the engine in the black car with the extreme-vented bonnet sitting w-a-y back in the engine bay (and almost into the cabin :shock: ). I like :)

Hi all,

What are those gold-centred wheels.

Love the first car's bonnet. Wonder how practical it is - i.e. water/ rain.

Im pretty sure its in the normal postion. Its just coz the radiator support has been ditched and the radiator siys closer to the front and makes the engine look further back. But i mite be wrong.

Intense - awesome pics :P

Cant see why rain would be a problem with the cooling.

Correct, I'd say it's sitting about 25cm back. I wonder how much this would affect weight distribution, 1st gens are something like 51/49 arent they?

Interesting to see a few FC radiators being used, I wonder how they went about blocking off the sides where the rad sits on an angle?>

Tough!

I was of the impression S1s were SA22Cs, S2/3 were FBs?

Can anyone clarify?
