@claymore certainly gets around doesn't he & rightly so, the guy is amazing and has so much vision. I'm sure if most people had ideas like his they would just give up due to the haters and doubters.

"Reverse intercooler"? What's one of those? I mean I'm guessing it's not to make the intake air hotter?

 

[claymore]

Reveverse intercooler pipe work, when the T5 was first released, the boost pipes went from the turbo to the top of the intercooler then from the bottom of the intercooler into the intake, but it was found to be too efficient and in Sweeden the throttle body would freeze open, so they swapped the pipework around, which added about 12" to the pipe work, "reverse intercooler pipework" or RIP as it's known, puts the pipework back to how it was originaly.
Normal T5 pipework.

So, does this mean there's going to be a lightweight Elan build thread on Retro Rides?

Maybe, but it won't be as comprehensive/boring as the TC one I may mention the car and see if there is any interest but the official home will always be here.
