haha, no comparison, kept winding him up while we were building mine, saying things like "im coming for you col" haha, not a chance tbh, his is awsome, and he's got the gas, mines just a budget bit of fun although i do have long term plans it'll be a while before mines anywhere near this and by then col will no doubt have his calibra ready

Still not keen on the style (I know it's function anyway) but I do prefer it to rons. Prefer the front end and the line in the front arch.

Why does it have the exhaust coming out of the rear?? I thought it was a Griffin Autosport tried and tested method that the short route out the front was best on the V6?

Point behind the bumper is,
Stand in a swimming pool with a bucket, which way is it easier to push the bucket along? Top/open end first? Or bottom?
That's how your engine bay acts with all the opening at the front bumper/grill etc,
That bumper cuts it down,
If you look at more of the top fwd boosted drag lot they use ice boxes or charge coolers so they don't need an intercooler sticking out for this reason.

Those magnificent men in their corsa machines they blow up tiddly up up, they break down tiddly down down.

Up, down, wheelspinning around, breaking the turbo and oiling the ground.
