I don't think cooling is an issue unless your boosted?
Very nice!

Yup I hope cooling is no issue, I definately don't want to add anything I don't need to, but it's going to get a hammering in hot european tracks and anything which helps keep the power in place (cooler engine) the better!

Only one I would have is Rotrex AJ, but it's currently a really well balanced car with the mods it has. It might be an option in future, but i'm loving it as it is for now. THe ECU has made such a huge difference to it.
It will be fun to drive and require good driver skill, so i can see where you are coming from keeping it N/A - still you could make into a lightweight baby weapon adding an SC .

It has crossed my mind but "touch wood" mines been fine, even in summer i've done 45 minute sessions with no problems at all?

I have always figured if I add a charged I will go for an oil cooler and bigger rad

You're the first person to publish an expenes list, lets hope MPs follow your example.

The costs do keep rising but at least your car is no garage queen and your money being well spent

I still maintain what I said in my first post though I could have spent precisely none of the above and it would still be a great fun track and road car! Like most of us, fiddling is a bit of a drug... Although according to reports of your parts bin, you have more of a habit than me

I shall try not to look in that thread - I suspect there are some nice bits!

What coilovers are you going for?

Bilstein PSS9s or KW V3s. I had a ride in Ian's car at the Airfield Day and I was impressed with the Bilsteins' performance and simplicity.
