I'll try and get down for that. Don't think I'll run, it depends on money and the car a bit nearer the time.
I'll stick it in our calender now so I don't forget.

Looks great, what was the decision for the backbox running along the bumper?

I thought it was designed to fit a standard type exhaust?

The dampers run horizontal, so the exhaust has to pass through the middle of the boot floor, below the central pivot point for the dampers

Looks like it goes well at the ring! But how fast was that Focus RS at the beginning?!
The suspension looks amazing. Hardly heard any tyre squeel at all on the corners you would usually expect it and only one instance of understeer. Real talk though and money aside was it worth it for the cost?

I see, just seems a shame to compromise the exhaust but is uppose the only way around it would be internal fuel tank...
Looks great

its not a compromise, its a simple solution to an obstacle created by improving the suspension by vast amounts.

Yes and in doing so you are going for a less than perfect path of the exhaust.... so it is a compromise.
I'm not slating it or the car in any way I was curious to the reason that is all.

Cheers guys 
There's certainly more lap time to come off that, I'm confident we can get down to 8:20 ish
Edbar1 the only "compromise" is the each 1-2kg of weight from the exhaust. It doesn't effect power in any way. In fact id go as far as saying it's better now as we have been able to put a larger back box on it so no worries about noise levels now at all.
The suspension kit is epic, to the point where I'm taking corners a gear higher now due to the apex speed being so much more than before. Which is obviously down to having much more grip.

That is a comment sandy has made iirc, many cars running his engines no longer use very short final drives as they have enough grunt and more often than not coupled with a very well setup chassis

You can use the push rod rear with a Pug Sport if you so wish.
However, Mr Preston has a custom designed exhaust which suits both the engine and chassis set-up.
