As the Primary builder of the Leno reviewed car, the car shown above is a general CSX 9000 build and is owned by a friend of ours in Florida.

the 9000 car as seen has the stock bodywork, there are no added flares or flaring.

all flares and flaring are custom appointments based on owner wants/needs at time of build in the USA after South Africa has delivered the chassis.

the exhaust wrapping is to owner taste, we generally dont need to go to this extent on our builds, but maybe the owner wanted more wrapping.

we usually pull the carpet and foot-boxes and insulate them with material on the inside and insert a stainless firewall with heat shielding behind . -- that way--- leave the pipes be.

--This is in concert with proper engine tuning. --EGTs should *NOT* need that wrapping.

on the suspension, they have changed things a bit and the Series 1 Car ; SPC 0006 to SPC 0154 had one suspension system, and the 9000 series had a system that used more ball joints vs heims, and allowed the use of a deep-dish wheel.

there are hundreds and hundreds of details between the cars that are different.
