Not so much the 'jaunty' angle at the back (which will get Nafe's vote!) more the jobby way it's run straight down the middle of the car

Rubbish cheap way of intalling it.
Doubtless 'less bends = less back pressure = more powerrrrrzzzz' will be claimed, but that's at the expense of loss of LOADS of ground clearance

and means it's running directly under the fuel tank

Absolutely sucks, IMO...

Shame really, 'cause apart from that and the utterly Clubbing Eddy intake (there isn't one!) it looks like a nice lude!

Neither do i, but I do like the rims!

Aside from the ex and the silly intake, that looks like a bargain.

Wheels look nice alright,has got Uk/Eu headlights too?
It's got a towhook to compete with on which hits the ground first

I've not been able to touch it yet I'm afraid - life has completely got in the way

Away the last 2 weekends and any spare moments in the week that I haven't been working, I've had to put into my own cars. I've not even had time to read all posts and pm's on the forum. This weekend I shall also mostly be drunk and sweaty in a field, next weekend I will be on it (the breaker I mean, not the booze

)

It's fairly local to me, but 've never seen it around.

I like the exhaust.. Very race-car feel.

Fair play, but... Race car has air rushing under it all the time and pimple smooth track with hard suspension, not sat in traffic getting roasting hot and living with potholes and crap roads that make even standard ride height cars bottom out?
(I'm saying I think it's a drokk up design for a road car)
