It's Finally Finished!!!

Looks awesome... well done

can i ask why the radiator lays down at such an angle?

Doubledip, it's a quirk of the kit brand - RMC. Makes it really difficult to mount the radiator. Getting that aluminium radiator in there was a real trick.

I actually like it, especially it's reflection in the mirror finish stainless in the nose.

Was wondering if that was the case... so many different kits and all with their own quirks/idiosyncrosies



Yes looks quite Trick!! with your setup

Craig, you have turned a great car into an even greater one! Thought that was impossible with this one. Great job, great finising touches!

Well done buddy, looks awsome.

Fantastic job Craig.

Your Cobra would have to be one of the
best looking Cobra`s up here in Qld.

If there is a crowd at the Qld Cobra Club
meeting`s, it`s always around your RMC.

It`s a credit to you, good work.

Regards

Nick

Sexy.

For those of us that arent familiar with this car, tell us a bit more about it.

I'm sitting here looking at the cutaway poster of a SC roadster. the radiator lays back in the original car. I reckon that is a bit inefficient as the air tends to "slide" up and over the radiator. The RMC however has a forward sloping radiator which "traps" the air flow forcing it through the radiator without the aid of fans. I reckon it's a good design modification.
I've got an RMC :P

Really appreciate the comments guys.

Rob, I certainly can't complain, cooling works fine.

I have completely sealed around the radiator though.

Aluminium radiator upgrade made a noticable difference to temperature control at idle.

They were shrouded on the top, no less efficient then a forward sloping radiator shrouded at the bottom. (Although mine slopes back - so Im biased too )

Stephen, the Cobra has a lot easier time keeping the temperature under control at idle. You can tell by how long the thermo fan stays on. With the old radiator the thermo would stay on for quite a while trying to pull the temp down. But with the new alloy radiator the thermo is only on very briefly, it is able to pull the temperature back in a matter of secs. The old radiator looked to be in good condition, hard to tell, but looked clean and well looked after. It was new when installed. But who knows how good a condition that old radiator was. I'm a little guilty of doing the upgrade for the bling factor and thought the mirror stainless panels would really show it off. I also thought about standing it up, but actually thought it would look better lying down. It's all about looks, not function, isn't it.

For the signature, sent a glovebox lid over and donated to his charity and have the certificate of authenticity as a momento. It will stay with the Cobra. Just thought it was different as I hadn't seen a Cobra in Oz with the signature and it's probably one of the few Cobras here that it suits I suppose.

Wow.
Finish your pride and joy and now you want to sell it?

[400TT]

Yeah, unfortunate circumstances. But I am enjoying it while I still have it. Who said you can't enjoy driving a Cobra in winter.
