Re: "merlin"on ebay again (Frank75)
depends what angle you have it at and how close the front end is to the ground. I'm planning on using a rubber strip on the end of mine, something like on the 80-82 chin spoiler. That way (and with the trough angled up to the rad) it will create downforce and a low pressyre area under the car. It will increase front end stability at high speeds. I've driven my car at speeds in excess of 140mph and gets real funky in the steering then.

Something like 2 minutes of driving time from the time you start it to maxed out temp.

Re: "merlin"on ebay again (Bluewasp)
Love the car but It seems to me its a grenade waiting to go off. Whoever buys it is going to punch it once.. Just once!
Front frame will twist, trans will shatter, rear will explode...
Just my guess:)
Steve probably did not appreciate his return greeting and got soured on the repurchase. Or, mabye he contacted the owner and thats why he yanked it off the auction..?
Either way, you think that engine has never overheated ? Not a gamble I would be willing to take..
If I bought it I would make a video of the car hitting it sideways through all the gears (if it did not explode) for everyone to enjoy!! Think that car gets sideways in 6th gear at 160 mph?!!
