Same idea, great minds think alike, and the mandatory exhausts which should be on the sidepods by regulation, you know the thing that exits gases from the engine? :lol:

You have exhausts this time =D>

And for some reason a big carbon section on a white car on the side of the nose...

One question though, if you'll let me...
How do you fit the FR12 powerplant and your fueltank into that? The engine cover seems way too narrow for the airbox to cover the whole top section of the engine. Having worked with the engine myself, I literally can get it no tighter than mine is, because the sides of the engine are just about touching the inside of the bodywork.
