Re-wired high-speed fan to run via switch, added hood venting, wrapped top of headers. All in the name of heat control.



Creating a low pressure zone behind the L bars to help pull air out.

Awesome man. I miss my SVTF sometimes, It was my first sport compact. I wish I would have kept mine to do auto cross with. It looks like you're having fun! Here's a couple of pIc's of mine. I really did love this car.

This is why I don't understand walls on race courses.

Let me guess... "Just don't go off track!"

Already happened this year. Last track day of the season. Instructing for Lotus club.



Exploded hub/bearing.





Took rotor, axle, hub, tire, fender out with it.





Car is back together for the most part. Need to re-align. Get new front pads and 1 rotor like other side.

I realize that it is OT, but is the Sunbeam a 289, or a 260?

1725cc actually. Sunbeam Tigers had the 289 Fords in them. Those still go from 10k to 35k. Alpines seem to be more forgotten. Best they will get fully restored is 8k. I'll be punching out the motor to 199xcc this winter. Over Thanksgiving here I will be doing all the suspension parts.
