It'd get my vote for the Turner Prize but it's too much of a work of art

Hmm, is it solely the Nitrous providing the cooling for the charge?

No Rad either??!! Might be a small one low down, but as its mainly for short runs he may have done away with it altogether ??

If only the standard car was that easy to work around

I think its more than likely not running any cooler as the fuel used mean the charge temp is cold enough...

Its also looks to have no radiator

Definatley no charge cooler there, unless Samco has invented a new silicone one Also the oil filler inlet has been blocked off, how do you put the oil in it??

I see the 98 coil pack is still there though

Sorry DMC i wasn't having a 'go'......

Yeh Paul, i did mean charge cooler, but the new pics show that the rad cap is clearly for an expansion bottle thats behind that very bling inlet!!

There also seems to be a lack of inner wings!!!

It's still got a rad but it's just an ickle one, he seemed to think it'll still be up to "normal" road use. No-one else counted how many injectors yet?

Was giving it a good inspection at his workshop a few weeks ago but not too sure what I'm allowed to divulge so better keep schtum.

engine layout looks fairly the last 16 years to me.

Andy I think it looks great.

Paul, would be pleased to see you take the fight to Andy, but from the outside it looks as though he is accelerating away from you, statistically and physically.
