Probably to help with the amount of gearboxes he's gone through too!!

Assuming its on a top spec 'liner box now?

All voltex products are wind tunnel tested so are fully functional, looks is a personal thing but I would love to a similar set up on an escos front bumper instead of the usual front splitter would look properly hard

Tubbing is allowed in Time Attack, fair few cars have modified inner arches. Best to ask them as you do it, but if you check the rules there almost nothing they rule out out of hand, but they say to check before you do it.

How would you say the suspension is nothing like original anymore tho? Strut towers look like they in the same place to me.

Far as I knew, the issue with the AG cars was spaceframing, and this car has no noticable spaceframe, so not the same issue at all.

Norris's car will be entering the Time Attack Finals @ Modified Live at Snetterton on October 12th so if you want to see this as well as Warren and Tommy and the other associated street beasts in TimeAttack then get to this event.

With the longest straight in the country (at a race circuit) there are going to to be some awesome battles/slipstreaming going on down the back straight thats assured and no doubt Simon is looking for honors here with this beast.
