Do you have any close up of the engine? Preferbly the dress up accesories?
Does your shift knob add height? It looks taller than a stock, was what he meant.
Your car is a too flashy for me but its a cool car. I like your sound system.

welcome along mate

you know thats the 1st time iv seen actual pics of your car lol its very nice tho, love the colour
Nice car! Engine bay looks sick! thumbsup.gif

Sorry, no animated sigs allowed.
The pic with the engine on show was the took at Japshow last year car was 95% completed very late the night before Spot turned up and got in the awards without the car being 100% finished.

Just to put it in perspective the car looks a lot better in the flesh as the colour is actually quite a deep kandy red
Nice car! I like the color. What is that little square piece by the key, under the windshield wiper stalk? And is there one specific v6 that everyone is swapping into their cars or just picking and choosing? Anyway... I love the interior of your car. Keep up the good work!

Are you guys using the V6 with VVT-i ? Would be interesting to compare the 3S-GE with the 1MZ-FE, Just to see the difference the extra 100+ NM of torque does to a first gear launch. Hmm turboing one of these in a ST205 chassis could be quite interesting biggrin.gif Would that put us up there with skylines and supras and 300zx's ?? Probably standard ones eh
