It's known as 'v-mount'. Popular with RX7 people and the like. It means you don't have your intercooler in front of your radiator, and both components get loads of cold air. Ryan G did it on his Supra IIRC.

 

Mounting it further back will also mean it's not as exposed to any drifting front end 'impacts', looks like the IC piping length is a lot shorter too.

 

Liking the Weds SA67R wheels, Project Mu brakes and Ikeya Formula suspension, a few pennies spent there!

 

Not seen the winglets mounted on the side the stock wing before.

 

Any pics or videos of the finished car?

Can anyone work out what happened? Looks like something either broke or he just lost traction when downshifting for the corner.

 

Is that big lever not a hydraulic rear brake? It seemed like he hit that to break traction at the rear but it either didn't come back off again, or he hit it at the wrong angle losing control so then just held it on to try and kill speed. If you watch the rear wheels on the outside view it shows the rear wheels locked up.

From the windscreen cam and outside view the rear seems to start squirming whilst still accelerating, just before he needed to set the car up sideways into the corner. By that time it must have been doing 100+mph, the locked brakes look like a vain attempt to kill some speed once he realises he's going off.
