Just a friendly note...

the info in this thread is all we have at the moment.. nither me nor Forge will know more info until Forge have had a play with the development car (which has already been sourced) this is currently scheduled for the first couple of weeks in June.

Be assured that as soon as there is more information.. you lot will be the first to know

(so pleeeeeeese stop PMming me! lol)

Black , but not painted , we can arrange for black anodisation , this is a much more prefereable finish to any painting, the charge for this is usually around

Dam you can get them coated in black?

I do like black, still not sure why I got a white car...

...arh yes so I can put black things on it

As to the heat transfer, I'd say it was minimal, but I'm not an engineer in thermal stuff.

Anodising it will be pretty decent, shouldn't cause much of a decrease in thermal transfer due to it being black in the first place.

Paint would be a lot worse as it's usually a lot thicker.

ahh.. thats ok then... (i wanst sure what anodizing involved)

Have a look at: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official_s&oi=defmore&q=define:Anodizing

agreed what they said

Hmmm black anodised FMIC sounds tempting to keep it nice and disrete.

I think i would go for this.

Inicated 29 degrees today on the temp display today... car is a bit more smokey in these kind of temps and a bit sluggish.

The FMIC cant come soon enough.

Agreed...

If it gets any hotter, I'll have to dispense with the knotted hankie and turn the aircon on.

I refined my i/c spray by taking the filter and check valve out of the Autospeed nozzle. This give a larger, finer spray directed at the intercooler. For the run below, I had been soaking the intercooler continuously for about 4 minutes before doing the run, and was spraying all the way up the hill.

The spray reduced the temperature by 11.7

More practial results... cheers for the research bryand

did you notice any performance drop/extra smoke?

Smoke isn't normally a problem for me - I use biodiesel to keep it down and the engine breathes pretty well with Cupra-Green on the intake side and Milltek on the exhaust.

The car felt good on both runs, but seemed to be pulling better at the top of the wet run, and I finished doing 78 mph at the top instead of the usual 73 mph. (Roman miles, of course )

The slopes of the graphs are remarkably similar; the wet run started off cooler because I had pre-soaked the intercooler. So I still don't know the best strategy for spraying - although just making sure it stays wet seems to work OK in these temperatures (but uses a lot of water. Mind you, 3 litres should see you round Bruntingthorpe a couple of times, I would have thought ...)
