ITB'd MK1
FLOL, I'm sorry but that's very very funny!!!!!
No, the radiator doesn't work like that, it's not a solid block, it had tubes running horizontally and cooling fins running vertically. you just fit bolts in the bits were there's a gap, and bend a few fins slightly

yeah you've bitched about it before. Then the fan fell of the Burpspeed car during a race......
TrackCar & F30 330d
Yeah Fred it is a little bit pikey but I had heard by two different people that their rad had fallen off because of using the fan fitting kits. But I'll see how I get on with it been like it is. Hope to get my new pipercross filter soon from 519 automotive as dan had got me a fantastic price, cheapest place for the filter i've found.
ITB'd MK1

The revs are completely lame compared to the rest of the car!
TrackCar & F30 330d
Yeah I do want a proper plastic connector. But wasn't really sure where to get one from? Needs to be 19mm iirc.

UPDATE:
So today i got up nice and early to watch the GP and straight after it had finished i went outside to start work on the car. 9:00am start was quite nice and i started with pluming all the brake lines
Here's the bits i had bought so i could cut the pipe & flare the ends with the standard fixings i had taken from the old pipes
I measured how long the first one needed to be and cut the pipe and bent it so it would fit.
Placed the correct fixing on the pipe and started to flare it
After flaring
And my very first bit of brake pipe
So I then attached it to the car
I then did the same for the front left brake
Ran the pipe along the crease so it looks nice and neat
Went on to have the first fail of the day
DOH!
Chopped the end off and re did it
Happy days
So all pipes coming from the master cylinder were done
Now i did want to run them on the inside of the car but i really dont have time to be farting round with things like that so i ran them under the car
As you can see they just droop down as i had got rid of the crappy little fixings that used to hold then old pipes in place
Bought these ages ago
And now it looks like this
Oh and a shot of the rear line. Still need to get fix it to the beam.
I also fitted my Carbon Firbre Bonnet with the areocatches. And swapped the wheels as i was getting bored of looking at the ultras lol
Took all the old glue marks off the boot where the plate used to be. I think i may end up hole sawing the numberplate section to help the air run through the car to help demis the windows and cool me down when driving.
So that it for today, Hope to get my Filter from 519 Automotive this week and buy my Backing plate from Reverie.
Just need to:
Change Engine oil
Change Gearbox Oil
Fill coolant up
Fit Airfilter
Make Engine loom which i keep putting off
Fit battery cut off switch
Fit standard loom + earthes
Wiper mech
Oh Sh*t theres still so much to do
More soooooon!

Ollie's Silver Cup
Good progress, as usual!
TrackCar & F30 330d
I was going to use an incar bais valve but i just couldnt make my mind up with how to plum it all in so i've gone for the 172 cup set up yes.
I've used somthing like 30 feet of pipe because of having to repipe the hole system.
Yeah i'm going to get some Nimbus Heatshilding to protect the rack and brake pipes. Another thing to add to the list.
