I saw one of these going round Castle Coombe a year or two back, quite impressive looking. Not sure how it got through the drive-by test as the exhaust was making jet sounds due to being too small.

 

The owner was a bit of a surly arrogant knobber :(

 

Still, the car did look great.

I found the simoniz aluminium engine enamel aerosols make the alloy block and head look like new and stay that way for that OEM look. Don't think they sell it in gold ☹️

Indeed, looking great.

 

Be thankful you don't have all the fukwit's telling you things like "it'll only be a drag car", "it won't be drivable", "you can't use that much power", "it won't go round corners" etc etc.

The thing is even  if they did its my car and i will do what i like  and there opinion will not change what i do ,i will be tacking it down the strip just to see what it will do ,would be rude not to lol.

My car def goes around corners all that will happen is i will be faster down the straights and properly sh*t myself every time i drive it .
