Hello Towed,
I had to enjoy Goodwood behind a laptop. But hopefully I'm there next year with my Spyder.
I appriciate this thread sharing an honest experience with your car. It's an illusion to make the perfect car. And certainly, not at once without improvements on the way. But we can learn faster because of you telling us what to avoid.
I hear about your heating problems. I wonder, where does it say that aluminium is more efficient then Copper? Aluminium has a warmth guidance coefficient of
237 W m-1 K-1, while Copper has allmost double (390 W m-1 K-1).
Or to put it more simple: this is the reason why professional kitchens prefer to use Copper pans instead of alumiunium.
The thickness of the radiator is also important to increase contact surface with the air. (besides the hight and with offcourse). Perhaps the aluminium is less thick then the original Vitesse rad?
