That must be the only video where Matt surpassed Chris Harris in views per Video. But by A LOT!

New exhaust system..

New CCW wheels ordered

9 x 17 front 12.5 x 18 rear with Kuhmo V710 245/40/17... 345/35/18

These will be 4 bolt powder coated bright white with black chrome bolts.

That's not an exhaust....looks more like a hybrid rocket nozzle!!

[mr.oogieboogie]

Cool exhaust. Flame on

[ronin]

Oh it will now that the wastegate is plumbed in after the muff..

[ronin]

I wasn't likin the rear end so I desided to toughen it up a bit..

[Guest surferphil]

External waste-gate = Hardcore

That's not tuned that's a race car being built!

How heavy are those CCW wheels?

[[email protected]]

better add a fitting for the propane too, needs more flames....

looking at the interior in the hoop shots, may I recommend laying off the prunes!

[ronin]

I never bothered to weigh the CCW's but they are the only DOT legal wheels I could find it the sizes I needed..

I've got so much carbon fiber in my diet now there is no need for prunage..

[Guest surferphil]

1kg off each wheel is worth 20kg off the car, but carbon rims look pretty unforgiving if you tap a curb at speed.

I had my alloys made to measure but even then the offset was still not perfect, the rims are slightly wider than OEM so the torque steer should be pretty close to neutral. (Not that you will have that problem with the Exige).

Where is the SC, is it on the plenum or is that custom too?

[ronin]

The blower is in the same location as the Exige S...

Did some aero work today to help airflow to the rear radiators and increase downforce.

World's longest NACA duct?

[ronin]

New aero side sills for added front end downforce.

I see a trip to the Ames Research Center wind tunnel up north in your future, Frank.

[Guest surferphil]

Whats wrong with a scale model and a hair drier?

[ronin]

But this is scale 1:1

Front clam has been removed and final layer of carbon fiber placed.

That's the best scale to have that toy in!

I like it a lot so far..

[ronin]

Made and test fitted the splitter today..

[mr.oogieboogie]

cool, that garage is almost as tidy as mine

[ronin]

Innovation is a dirty job but someone has to do it....

Are you building a new one? Is the based on an original 211 or on your Exige. Actually, what happened to the Exige, lst track after your accident with the Porker. It was such a mad car (in a positive way)

[Iconic Ride]

I had asked a similar question earlier on. IIRC Frank said the original Exige is essentially lurking beneath this new skin. I'm sure he can elaborate as necessary.
