Thankfully with the car being the colour it is I can get away with it being carbon, no chance of painting it. I have a nice carbon streak down the car now.

Yes its the chaviest fiesta ever built blud!!

169! is good but im thinking a little faster than that.

There will be room eventually!

I mounted the battery (after the pic) behind where the passanger seat will be.

Oil tank needs an ally platform made so it sits up under dash more.

Then we can fit your fat cankles in
