Phil G Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 To quote a fellow S20 owner.....Given our cars' more general heritage, is this a 270 issue too?Ah, so that's how you do it Nigel. Different car from that below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelpugh Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Here's a better view of Peters picture, that makes it easier to see the issue with the number two pipe being so close to the chassis tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigelpugh Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 As i now have my car on the road, and busily enjoying putting miles on it, I thought I should update my experience, so other 270 owners might benefit.My car went to Bookatrack at Donington for its post build check etc.Whilst there I got BaT to check the clearance on my number two primary, and mine was tight just as Phils.BaT checked with CC, and it was decided they had a faulty batch of primaries,,and replaced mine with a new primary pipe from the new batch.So this was the issue,,and very quickly sorted out by CC and the guys at BaT too.

Mark w Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Can you still get your finger in there when the pipe is hot ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil G Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Car back and all appears fine. Loads of room between pipe and chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
