after having the RVR out on the track on the weekend, our mechanic pointed out that there was poor airflow to the pod due to only small piping, so we have decided to get another bonnet and making intake vent for track events only (and the odd cruise)

If anyone has one, would prefer WA, let me know as ill be willing to take it off your hands :D

if you get a nimbus one, make sure it has the bonnet bulge through the middle ;)

The UF Nimbus that's at a wreckers down here has the middle bulge, although the bloke wants crack money for it.

is it turbo?
best thing for air flow would be to put the battery in the boot, re-direct poddy to behind left headlight and take headlight our for track use and/or the odd cruise, plus it makes the engine bay look a WHOLE lot nicer :)

doesnt cost much to relocate battery - need atleast 5m of cable, battery box and your away laughing :)

If that's to me, there's a wreckers down here in Bunbury with a red UF Nimbus. I've already grabbed a few things off it for my RVR, but last i looked ( couple of months ago now ) the bonnet and fenders were in good shape.
