Oh right, so it being a drag car means it can look cack? That's fine then, I understand.

Bonnet. Duck tape on the gearknob. Wiring all over the inside.
Doesn't take much to do something neatly.

You fucking gays it's not meant to look all pristine and shiney, it's a car for going fast in

Asthetics are important to me, sure its fast and an awesome idea but if you can fit an RB25 into an MX5 then surely you can afford a new gear knob and hide some wires.

I'm with Danny but then I've never really been one for fit and finish, if it does the job, it's good
Edit: Fair do's on the heat wrap tho, he's purposely decided to do that and then left half the manifold unwrapped
