    3. The wheels don't compliment the aggressive style. They look too small. A super car looks much more aggressive with bigger rims.

      The original engine components I seen from others' blown Mclaren engines are designed to barely survive the stock tunings. So no surprise if the engine is blown if there is even a basic tune to it, and the accident impact itself may also already partially damaged the already barely holding it together engine.
      I do hope it's some electrical issue that can be fixed, else the next best thing is if the engine block is ok then piston rod upgrade would be the most economical way to go.
