..that's what I remember reading several months ago on the mailing list. Interesting point, especially with another thread on here talking about the usefulness (air-wise) of the Tom's scoops. Or not.

PS anybody got any links to FAQs on how to rob a bank without getting caught in 3 easy steps?
.....a right pain when you want to fiddle! Never mind the scoop underneath though what about the two on the side!......not much really! The skin that is factory fit under the engine lid I can only presume is meant to take water away from anything vital. Although hardly any air can get out! I'm actually using 9" units which are almost a perfect fit to the width of the engine lid vents. They only pull about 5 amps each whereas pacet are 5.9. However these wee beastys will pull 1000CFM as opposed to pacets 858CFM. Even the pacet 10" 'thick' version will only pull 980. Which seems high ampage? Enough to do a few lids anyway. .............

truce? I might need some of your cool bits later on
- it's not like we were the first people to think of doing engine bay fan kits (or low rise headlights come to that). As with most things, if you know what you're doing and have the resources then you can normally knock something up a bit cheaper that acheives just about the same thing.- and without blowing our own trumpet - our fan kits are better than they strictly need to be. As with all of our products, we designed something that we actually wanted for our own MR2s, and in doing so focussed on quality over cost. A lot of effort went into making the lip that surrounds the kit, and then making it fit perfectly, making sure water ingress didn't affect anything it shouldn't, designing the lifting arm mountings and making sure the gas strut was the correct pressure etc. It'll still be more expensive than your version though! ....£170 inc postage? I am redesigning the shape slightly this week to make it more OEM looking. And then get a batch of aluminium cut. For £170 I can include the relay and neccessary wiring to connect to the intercooler fan via a relay (i.e runs on engine bay temp sensor). At a small additional cost, I can also include dash mount overide switches, on/off led's etc. (just click on Jimbob on this message)£10, I will only charge exact postage and wrapping materials costs. Please e-mail me a postcosde for a quote. Had a good summers use now but still looks ok. Sorry about the sahkey pictures but it was f f f f f freeeezin Same price
I assume the new kit will be ok with this?
(closer to the actual engine lid) than standard so no probs. (Steve).& Nelo!$E£"$%&(%^& will be in and thats our 5.

The profile of the new cover is actually thinner
How do you find your lifter? I found mine too strong? I know rogue did a lot of work to get theirs right.
This week will involve some more gas strut fiddling I think
. I think mine is from a Saxo of all things (cant remember exactly as I climbed up too many scrap cars) Nelo Urbantiger I've just sorted a wholesale account with the fan supplier for a small batch each month. I should be sorting the aluminium blanking tomorrow. It's designed for the MR2. They are not too bad cost wise and would come in at about £40 each. I still fink I can get them cheaper though The new design WILL be the business. I should have it finished together with some high res pics buy the start of next week.(next week). for me.....start a new job on 17th of Jan and going from payed weekly to monthly so going to have a 2week spell with no income , otherwise i'd say as soon as pos. (Steve) (as soon as TRD crash lands)
