Well it’s been a while and I know the majority will have seen the progress on face ache but seems a shame not to bring the thread to an end without seeing the results.

So here goes.

I got all the kit fitted and the fibreglass bonnet but one of the doors was not right so it’s gone back to Lee to be altered, unfortunately lee’s Heath took a turn for the worse so the doors have not been fitted yet.

Shipped the bonnet and dc2 spoiler for painting but turns out mine is xpg+y so they came out the wrong shade.



Anyway the bonnet got fitted, I’d had enough of waiting :-)

You may notice the added air exit duct and the centre grill.
On startup there was a lot more heat than I expected and it almost melted the bonnet.

Grill was added to allow heat out and the manifold / downpipe were removed and shipped to Zircotec for ceramic coating .



I was never happy with the play in the turbo so I shipped it back to the people who made the original units for backdraft.
Universal turbos confirmed the cartridge was toast so a rebuild was ordered along with an upgrade to a bigger rs6 impeller [emoji23]


All back together with additional heat shielding from the manifold.

tcb 180 will become famous soon enough
Remember going over to Castle Coombe years ago to see this car in action. Awesome fair play.
