Had a rather nice package turn up on my doorstep the other day so thought I'd share with the group :D

 

I ordered a few goodies from my "go to" guy in Japan, and this is what arrived...

 

 

...a set of genuine Carbing strut braces and a pair of exceptionally well-made URAS bonnet vents as sported on the SPL time-attack car!

 

 

John and I both needed a solution to venting the bonnets on our two V8 project cars and it was he who suggested going for the URAS vent...and luckily I knew a man in Japan...and it seemed rude not to order anything else while I was at it. ;)

 

Takehito is not only a great guy and a good friend but frankly I'm amazed at his efficiency. I took just 4 days from him placing the order to them arriving at my door. Astounding. And as yet, no VAT or extra UK delivery costs to pay (though sometimes these things take a couple of weeks so I'm not in the clear just yet).

 

Took some pics of the vent on the bonnet of my blue shell (though I've now realised it's going to sit a bit further forward)....absolutely chuffed to bits! :D

 

 

 

Very nice :D

 

BTW , probably a stupid question , but what happens to the water that must enter through the vents ?

Not a stupid question. Far more problematic on a VG30DETT engine as a lot of the electrics are on the top of the engine.

im more interested in the car next to it lol

The only secret at the moment mate is that there's a sh1tload of work to be done on it before it even looks half decent...and I've just blown that one wide open! :D ;)
