haha! well ok you asked for it!

Ignore the exhaust on this pic, its been changed!

Under bonnet Before..........

And after (but waiting for Mishimoto ally radiator!)

has a 3" titan downpipe bolted straight onto the turbo as well as the tanabe you can see.

done quite a bit to it since i got it, was meant to be a cheap toy but you can forget that, lol

got a fair list of mods too apart from exhaust and radiator!

got a few other "toys" too, they not Toyotas though lol.

And under the bonnet is a honda D16 twincam

4.6V8 uprated engine (265+hp) handling and braking too!

Work car but still 2.5 V6!

i been thinking of a clear plastic cover but there soooo expensive :o and i didnt want to cover adjustable cam pulleys and gates racing belt so it stays off for now, its currently pushing around 330-340hp@15+psi but on stock turbo, a big help is the removal of the AFM, clutch is stock n/a unit and cant handle it even though it only a year old it slips in 4th and 5th, i have a stage 3 assembly on route as i type so then off to the rolling road!

!Removed! ell matey... loving the collection there. I was concerned with the Rover but then the Jap motor under the hood made sense!

And yeah, the plastic covers are really damn expensive for what they are. Sounds like your cheap toy aint so cheap any more! :P

Man.. i need some Turbo power again!.. :(

i keep thinking of nos for the rover, a nice little 75 shot would take it to 220hp! would be good open top fun!
