Turbotoster on barry boys, a complete tosser, caught fire because he put the exhaust out of the rear quarter, behind the side window.
Oh Lord......I'm sure this is the same car we saw at last years Runway Meet, was told the guy had more money than talent....shame for it to end like this though
dear me, i think the fires improved it
However fast it may have been, it looks unbelievably rubbish :lol:

I totally disagree.....just look at the shelving space, get an entire volume of Haynes manuals on there
I'm sure thats the monstrosity I saw at vmax in March, it went well and then pissed oil everywhere...
What springs to mind the Romans had chariots that had blades underneath that's not far short of the same, was it road legal. With those sharp edges.

[QUOTE=p fandango;791502]he claimed it was an oil pipe that started the fire, while other Elise owners were saying the fuel line is/was too close to the turbo/exhaust[/QUOTE] exhaust and/or turbo look likely suspects IMHO [ATTACH=CONFIG]29996[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]29997[/ATTACH]

Up until that point the car was going really well, i was on my 4th session halfway through, so had already done 30 laps(10 per session) and was really enjoying myself, had no issues with heat at all, nothing blistering or sucumbing to heat. Me and the car was getting faster and staying flat through a few of the corners showed the downforce was making a difference. Currently stripping everything down at the moment which is not a nice experience[/COLOR]
