NICE car, loving the engine bay.


However, the only drawback.... lose the wing

MORE PICS. That thing looks absolutely evil. What kind of fender flares are those? And yes, please, for the love of all the Rotary gods, lose the wing.

Looks good, very unique! If you built this car, you did an excellent job! The engine compartment needs one thing though- www.tweakit.net has the Gilmore drive pulley kit that would complete your engine bay...

I like it - maybe i'm too old school when it comes to FBs, but the front end is a bit "BIG" for the car.. where did you get the front end?

Whats the purpose behind the car (show, track, etc) and what are the specs?

Looks pretty good BUT need more pics to give it 100% approval.
So far I think the canards are out of place and the wing is not my taste. But better pics may change my mind.

i made the headlights my self out of plexi glass and fog lamps. the wing actually suits the car well. i myself usually hate the big wings but i kinda like it on my car. i was thinking of getting a carbon fiber whale tail made or something
