Watch it guys this thread has the potential to run on and on 
The parallel thread on FDUK has reached 20 pages and the little spat has rear it's head on that one too.
I'm guilty too of posting a shot of one of the bosozoku cars on there as well.
At least those Time Attack cars are being driven on track and those aero additions are probably added to counter handling imbalances from real
feedback. Hence why they look a little "bolted" on.
I had a look back through the 200mph build thread and realised I have the GRP bonnet Jon made at Atomic on my RX7!
Also here's the page you really want to read on that thread...

Gets a bit more interesting towards the end when the guy who sued the OP (from when he previously did a "200mph RX7 budget build" shows
up.
I thought you comments where harsh until I got to page 2 then realised that you hadnt slated him enough

Not saying its right, but its what they do!
I think it is saying something about it when the wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_attack) spends half it's time talking about
video games.

Did a bit of research on the guy.
He's not only ruined a RX7, he's also known for ripping people off including a bodyshop
Then he bought a M5 and wanted to strap a huge turbo to it etc but that's gone quite since he's started butchering this lotus.
I even realised I've spoken to him on Facebook when he was asking equinox questions about the Elise/exige bodywork

In defence of Time Attack cars, many have huge amounts of money and development heaped upon them and their lap times reflect that.
The Lotus pictured has spent a fair bit of time in MIRAs wind tunnel with tye aero program run by aero consultant Simon McBeath so definietly arent
barryboys cars!!
MIRAs currently about £6k per day plus Simons time...
Google Subaru Gobstopper and watch Ollie Clarks antics at the wheel, truly stunning car, engineering and driving.
And if you need further convincing, Ollie Clarks Dad could drive a bit too, a certain Roger Clark, legendary rally driver...
Just because TA aero looks odd doesnt make it wrong.
Im not saying said Elise bloke knows his arse from his elbow mind, but dont slag off Time Attack by the same token
