Is the top of the engine an airfilter cover off a KIA bus???Cant wait to see these cars, and maybe buy one, but I have to say dissapointed with the look of the top of the motor. Whats wrong with Alloy??On the up side gives the after marketers somthing extra to design and sell, maybe even a Shaker??

bunna Donating Members 813 Member For: 18y 10m 2d Posted 07/09/10 01:48 AM Share Posted 07/09/10 01:48 AM What I want to know is WHY THE HELL DID THE FPV BOYS NOT WIDEN THE REAR RUBBER ????I mean seriously they can surely widen up the rear to 275 without too much DSC and brake calibrations ?FFS these cars are pushing up some serious HP now and they insist on sh*tty dunslop rubber and 245 wide tyres. Dealers will need to offer drag radials as a dealer fit option Not so simple answer: durability.

We may just void your warranty for that 'part' of the vehicle.

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

That's my understanding of the comment anyway. Still a shame they don't widen them, but what's new!

seduced Need more power. Now taking donations. Member 753 Member For: 16y 4m Gender: Male Posted 07/09/10 11:06 PM Share Posted 07/09/10 11:06 PM (edited) Would cost more than a few grand... and more than a couple of bushes. The NVH would also be affected. Cheaper to keep replacing bushes under warranty.But nothing stops the buyer from buying new bushes and big tryes. Just don't expect Ford to replace all the other weak components you were too cheap to replace yourself.

I like the look of the N/A Coyote engine. Why couldnt they use abit mote imagination with the top of the motor? I know may of you dont care what an engine looks like aslong as it performs, but I would like both!
