Fully Custom Cooling | Project Mosquito Ep108

Fabricating the ducting of our Mini supercars cooling system to evoke the aerodynamics of cars like the Mercedes CLK GTR and McLaren F1. which should reduce drag and make the car faster... hopefully. #ProjectMosquito

Gotta love the attention to detail for parts that will be unseen.

[@OliverPickard]

thanks for your comment that is because to us everything matters

Thanks!

[@OliverPickard]

Thank you Mathew you are a legend

There is a lot to like and enjoy about this build . Today I thought how practical the road clearance is on mosquito . My 914 retro will have lots of ground clearance for its intended targeted roads and off roads. I look forward to your video build. 👍🇦🇺

[@OliverPickard]

thanks for watching because our local roads are one and a half cars wide this means that the passenger wheel has to run onto the pot hole riddled grass verge so its good to have the ground clearance

[@davidyendoll5903]

Yup . 15k hit . Well done !

[@OliverPickard]

thanks so much we are so thankful to our subscribers thanks we cannot tell you how happy it make us

M12 battery Milwaukee rivet gun - don't know how I did without it for so long.

Or better still, a tig welder.

As opposed to a rheumatic riveter!

Brilliant work, made my Sunday morning!

[@OliverPickard]

Awesome, thank you!

[@S50Sinner]

The radiator and air dam really make this look like a finished car, I reckon the only things missing from the rolling/driving assembly are the fuel tank and all the hydraulic/fuel/coolant hoses. Always looking forward to the next update! 🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟

[@4321GO_Simon]

I’ve really enjoyed this from the very beginning. I had a GTM Coupe (actually, GTM’s development car when they switched from 10” to 13” wheels) when I was studying Aeronautical Engineering at Imperial in the early ‘90s. But the pedant engineer in me has had to pause the vid to take you to task, Oliver (sorry!!). It’s BERnoulli, not BREnoulli!!! (FWIW, I’ve a Westfield Eleven in the garage and my Gallardo daily passed through 128,000 miles last week……..)

[@OliverPickard]

we are from Lancashire so our pronunciation can be a little off, great car collection we wish to have more in the future the mosquito is just one of many to come

I'm sad the body work has stopped :-(

[@4321GO_Simon]

Cold, damp weather and composites don’t mix well………

[@OliverPickard]

sorry we want to continue with the body but as simon has said our weather in very cold at the moment -12 approx this is just not good for body work but when it warms up we are good to go again

[@OliverPickard]

Thanks simon for helping us explain that -12 is just no good for body works

Fans will be controlled by ECU , twin fans can come on one at a time
All programmable within ECU software
Have you chosen management yet ?
I would recommend one that can future update to true 4 wheel input traction control
Launch control is also fun at the lights when your car sounds like an F1 car
You should consider an electric water pump also given the distance to travel up front

[@OliverPickard]

not interested in traction control but skids are fun!

Your next task should you choose to accept it is to knock up a wind tunnel and test the theory ! You are going to put hot air on the gas/hydraulic dampers and brakes As with all car makers you will only find out after you have done extensive testing on the road in all weather conditions - it is good viewing .

[@OliverPickard]

A wind tunnel is not quite in the budget thanks to dads pencil addiction

Just about to turn in when this popped up. Ah, it's Sunday now. More like aircraft construction this week, no wonder you ran out of rivets! That's rad ducting looks great and might also give some downforce? Frank Costin would be proud. Oh and congratulations on hitting 15K, you deserve a lot more.🦟

[@OliverPickard]

thanks for the mosquitoes and watching until the end much appreciated sorry we kept you up so long

[@richardhintonracing]

Have a guess at the finished all up weight with glass, trim , the lot ready to drive with half a tank of fuel ? Can you get it below 670kgs that was the weight of a 1960 Lotus Elite which had 90BHP do you think - it had an all GRP monocoque as does the GTM Libra which weighs 700kgs with an 1800cc Rover K series - the launch early Lotus Elise was 720kgs with 120BHP ?

[@OliverPickard]

Our goal weight is sub 620kg and half a tank of fuel is 17.5 kilos with 250+BHP

[@richardhintonracing]

@@OliverPickard You will have done very well if you can get close to that and should be super responsive in overtaking etc - You will have to show us it on the scales Look forward to see it fully finished and running
