Hello from South Dorset

[Dommo]

Choice of engine could potentially have been better but the colour is exquisite sir!

[Ben-H]

Lovely little 1.6...

just figuring out the posting pictures thing, it seems you can do it from the laptop but not the iPad..

Different way of dealing with the coolant there

[Ben-H]

Yeah, I wanted a clean looking scuttle and also to maximise cooling. The theory is that the aluminium header will radiate some heat away from the coolant as it leaves the cylinder head, and also some more from the long, straight aluminium pipe to the radiator. It'll only make a small difference but every little helps, and I think it keeps pipework simple and tidy.

Welcome Ben, I'm not a million miles away on the Hants border so may meet you at a track day or meet in the future. I'm a regular Hants member.

Loving your colours, I've been thinking about Gulf colours with mine, doing the wings, some stripes & details in baby blue, but it hasn't got to the top of the list yet

Enjoy your membership & build

[Ben-H]

Hi Burlers,

Great colour car you've got there

The gulf colours haven't reached the top of my list either yet, better get her on the road first!

[alexander72]

looks nice that :-) 

[SootySport]

That's a nice tidy engine bay Ben    .     Those Mazda guys will be convincing you to have an 'Optimized' head, so hang on to yer wallet.

[Ben-H]

Haha, thanks Sooty, yeah I've kind of got my eye on the blink upgrade package. Upgraditis setting in early!!

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Well you're half way there with a BLiNK optimised colour scheme   

 

lovely ly looking car BTW   

[Ben-H]

Thanks Dave, I'll be pleased if it ends up somewhere near some of the great examples I've seen here

[Westford]

Hi Ben,

I live in a village 5 miles from Blandford on the Dorchester side, so not too far from you.

Welcome to the club!

Westford

[Ben-H]

Hi Westford, thanks for the warm welcome.

Your car looks awesome, a serious looking bit of kit! Nice to know there's some local members here in Dorset and surrounding counties.

[Westford]

Thanks for the comments Ben, of course it's still work in progress as you might expect now from Westfield owners! If you fancy a meet up sometime send me a message, I only IVA'd last year so it's still fresh in my mind if you need any advice.

[Ben-H]

That's great, I'd appreciate another pair of eyes to look over he car before it goes to IVA
