The Lotus Car Thread is getting sidetracked with this wheel size discussion, so I'm moving all the tire size posts to the 18 inch tire thread. The fact that they were demonstrated on the Lotus is irrelevant to the size discussion. http://www.f1technical.net/forum/viewto ... 5&start=75

It certainly looks (sorta) like it. I was under the impression that the exhaust manifold couldn't be changed. But, I guess I was wrong.

No, the item that looks like it is the water intercooler

What do you think the chrome nose tips are about? They look like they are suspended with small wires.

They're reflections of the sky and a catch fence above the garage.

Just the tip?

They are actually depleted uranium armco piercing nose tips. Installed at the request of a certain Pastor Maldonado.
