Looks like there are two slots in the timing cover for cooling the belt.

"Considering all the bugs, critters and creatures that can kill you in Aus, I'd have thought that a handful of hot tricycle engines on the roads would be the least of your worries!"


With those cut down screens they are probably all going to end up in your face!

Keys in the hand that will be about GBP £50,000 or EUR €65,000


Plus luxury car tax (no joke!)

You mean to tell me that the $90K does not include Luxury Car Tax! Struth, I haven't worked it out but it must be another $7K or more!

are those "bumpers" in front of the cylinder head? Also looks like the cylinder heads have covers...cooling issues? The leather headrests and the higher roll over loops are probably the smartest thing about the upgrades in the case of an accident.

Alas not Mr Krod - those tubes are (very restrictive) air intakes and the engine is covered in heat insulating thermal jackets. Will be great in 40C Australian heat I suspect?!

They must have been working on that particular car a while as it has the early rearward gear stick. Indicators look ridiculous & centre mirror superfluous. I hope they did proper hot climate testing with all that engine shielding.
