The plan was to keep all the hot stuff away from the engine, also I thort It would be different and I like a bit of a challange ;o)

How does the downpipe run?

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Very interestingly from what I saw at riv run!

Had a good look over this car down in newquay, and it's really impressive. The downpipe runs down along side the sump I seem to recall, then kinks back into the centre behind the engine.

Craziest engine bay ever!

Thanks for that, thats what mini mag said today at the photo shoot ;o)

Yeh the exhaust goes from the turbo, down inside the drivers inner wing, under the tierod, up throw the subframe, along the gearbox then back into line just after that.

It took some working out and 900 miles later seams to be holding up very well with no exhaust leakes or warping ;o)

Sweet

Any more pics?

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Ive up loaded a couple more on to this site.
