I have just tried the grill horizontal - and it looks much better. Actually made it out to the garage for a few minutes today but its been a tad cold lately a everyone here has the flu so even with a furnace in the garage it has not been worth going out lately.

Just a quick question, do you have your chassis finished/finalised yet? Is it possible to move stuff around the engine bay much?

I have pretty much a rolling chassis right now. It just needs a bit of trianglation in the front and an engine cradle if that is the word. (Bolt in bracing over the engine to stiffen everything. I may make a new intake again as its not really any big deal. As it sits I cant move the engine back any farther or it will hit the firewall and the turbocharger low and to the right side which should cause not trouble except maybe heat. For the intake I have used the lower half and made a plenam that will bolt to it keeping it below the top of the valve cover. I want to try and keep the main bonnet line low even if it requires a bigger scoop.

You should be able to see the break in the intake just above the distributer in height where I replaced the whole assembly that goes over the valve cover.
