I do miss the carbon, but then seeing as that look has been adopted by someone else, it's only suiting that you've moved on.
Good work! 
Also, Jed... 
Spot on , car was looking the same as someone else's so that's one reason I didn't put pics up, he best not copy me again
Mate, you cannot threaten someone for copying you, your taking all that negative, you publicise your car very well, youve spent a lot of time and effort on it, its understandable, but dont go threatening people for "copying you"
its not unique one off fabrication work, its off the shelf purchasable items, so other people are gonna see you car and get ideas, All corsas look the same, everyone grabs idead off everybody else. its the way it is, so dont throw your weight around cause someones took a few good ideas youve had.
its light humour, chill out

That was a joke, Possy is one of my mate so I don't think I would threaten him, parts arnt of the shelf items tho intercooler was made for me , arches were made to fit, wheels came specially Orded from the states

Looks sweat does that mate, built for the job now, did you manage to get it mapped up on the race fuel? Should help keep the internals a little bit cooler.
Aidan you can lift the tailgate with your little finger ;-)
I'm hoping the Fiberglass one will just be as light when I order it on 27th 
Ha ha it won't be as light as Bens ;-) his is pure carbon baby lol

i personally think it looks awful, but then it's been built to serve a purpose and not to look pretty on the road.
i love the front end shot, just hate those skinny rear wheels. but then i understand why you need them.

That looks absolutely shocking IMO, however huge respect for the car and the work you've done. I'm sure it will now serve its purpose well and be an awesome drag car, just a shame it doesn't look like it used to so you could use it as a road car  I know it's still legal but it just looks wrong in every view (for a road car).
Hope you get the times you want and keep up the good work.

So where did Jedidiah get the picture's from?? Surely if it was that much of a big secret, there wouldn't have been any picture's at all that any1 else could get there hands on.
Im not a fan of the looks. For some reason i think it looks too perfect and simple for the purpose it has been built for. I think it needs some graphics.

I saw the pictures on bens Facebook that he posted after someone got pictures somehow. Anyways as I said Ben. The car looks purpose built and good for the purpose. Shame it was shared early but hey up. Looks good

What's with the fitment of the rear wheels? No way they could have been inside the arches?

I totally see the point and have been sat here for years wondering why the CS drag racers haven't done the whole front tyre and arch thing instead of just upping the bhp and posting graphs.
