    Wrong Scotty. Its not Nelly the Renaults, if it was a Renault key my car wouldn't start. lol.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    As mentioned lots, Im very VERY fussy about how things are done and MUST be a VERY high standard. I treat others cars as I do mine.

    WOW!! wasn't expecting this...
    I called Don from Kalmar Union to clear he's OK with me quoting him. Spoke to him and he's already seen said pipe of Frobes car. Don said he's impressed so thats me a happy bunny!

    Chap in VOC asked 'is it worth it'.

    Don's reply.....

    Yes, certainly, replacing the original pipe down onto the turbo with its final intended throttle point will gain something in output.

    Well made and good value.


    Regards, Don.

    F156 Sharknose...
    It was Ferrari's first rear-engined Formula One car and was notable for it's extremely light weight and consequently massive power-to-weight ratio. This gives it a considerable advantage over the Cooper Climax, but the light weight and skinny tyres mean that grip is hard to come by.

    This is the car that Phil Hill and Wolfgang 'Taffy' von Trips drove in the 1961 Formula One championship. Phil Hill went on to win the championship but sadly Von Trips and fourteen spectators were killed when his car left the track at Monza during the Italian Grand Prix.

    The bodywork was redesigned in 1963 losing the distinctive 'sharknose' but still scoring wins for John Surtees and Lorenzo Bandini. Then all of the cars were scrapped.

    The only existing 156 is a replica built for Chris Rea.

    I'm up for one of these if it will fit my 97 s70 t5?

    Was looking at the snabb ones but it's quite pricey after shipping and I'd much prefer something already in the country.

    With blue hoses preferably please if you have them.

    Regards,
    Rich
