Is it me or does that engine work look poor. The welds are sloppy and the airbox is not even trimmed well. Hmmmm.

the only really "bad" weld I can see is the middle one, and it's not that horrendous. But, I can't tell from this angle.

The rest could use some cleaning up. Anyone know what the material is?

i heard they had great success in the latest Nardo shootout, posting over 240mph top speed (navigation showed a little over 230), and their cars are super fast. however, not to tarnish their reputation, i believe that some US customers have experienced really bad customer service and have warned others to stay away from them. check out Rennteam board for people who have had specific experience with them, to see what has acutally happened...
