That looks like one of Tim Myall's (Pigsty Racing) creations ...

Yeah, the Pigsty cars are spot on. The mid-engined one is nuts!

My favourite all time mod is a7 related. As we know it's a 2 bearing crank. To allow it to rev to some unholy rpm they grind the cases out which stops the unsupported middle of the crank which must be going bananas (shaped?) knocking the cases. Simples...

Ha, 'tis true! You also must skim 20 thou off the tops of the middle two pistons to stop them hitting the head.....modern repro cranks improve this situation considerably, and the fully counterbalanced race cranks almost eliminate it.....I bet most older design cranks are distorting at 7000rpm...
