Could you do what the mini's do and raise the rear of the bonnet an inch of two. or just put 3 or 4 holes along the back??

Yes, but then all the heat has to travel all the way through the engine compartment. I wanted rid of the heat as soon as possible.
See Subaru Impreza WRC or Ford Focus WRC.

I know what you mean about organisers, Harewood can sometimes be a bit like that - it's worse when its a British Championship round.

Hi all,
Santa (AKA Snr Bacci from Firenze) delivered an early christmas present today...
Next stage, drop the 'box and its off to the gearbox builders for a fettle (ie new syncros) and assembly.

Can't bring myself to quote the price, best look at the Bacci website and get your calculator out. Its a 5.0:1 final drive so it should fly.

Something along the lines of 'I could have got a back up car for the price'

Got the 'box out today, first time i've done it with the engine in. No problems, but as usual seperating the the gear linkages proved fiddly. Also dismantled the drive shafts as the diff comes with uprated Bacci items. They also use the larger Punto 75 tripods, thankfully I took the driveshafts when I bought engine & 'box from a Punto 75 eighteen months ago - knew they'd come in useful! Unfortunately only one of them is salvegeable so its a trip to the dealer tomorrow. 50% success rate on that one.
The 'box will go off to be rebuilt this week, in the meantime i'm taking the opportunity to move the gear selector inside the car, run the fuel lines inside, and may swap to a smaller alloy tank - that way I get a straighter run for the exhaust. Busy, busy busy

Its a Supersprint manifold, with a Wunoff system. For now. I'll probably make my own straight through system once the tank is out of the way.

I've been shopping (again). New brake calipers and master cylinders and an assortment of fixtures and fittings to facilitate the 'box refitting. As an aside, anyone thinking of a fitting an lsd will need to budget for 55quids worth of the specialist oil that the damn thing needs - bloody thing had better make a difference after all of this!
The new uprated drive shafts are all rebuilt, and once the gear change has been moved inside i'm all set to reassemble. I'll get some pics this weekend.
