What a superb bit of kit. Absolutely love it. Is it a toy or a competition car.
My only criticism is the wheels look far too big, but I can forgive that - I'm magnanimous me
- as they're needed to cover the brakes.
That said I'd have tried it with smaller rotors and therefore wheels - the competition cars managed ok on smaller wheels after all.
+1 for the vid in action please.

I See a few followers from the thread on the engne "what engine for 500BHP".
As for the Toyota box it is still untested as I am stuck at work for the next couple of weeks, but once home & I have cleaned out the oil from the water system & fixed the oil cooler, then it should be back on the road, and testing of the box can begin.
It also needs to go back to AET for a couple of tweaks to the mapping, not for more power, just to sort out some transient fueling, that didnt show as a problem until the car was on the road. The 475BHP at the wheels (525Flywheel) should be enough for now.
When I went for mapping I specified about 500BHP at 1.2-1.3 bar, so they set the boost at 1.25 and the car made 460 at the wheels on the first power run! If I wanted - more is possible!
There are some more pictures on my site www.turbonutter.net
here are a few of the interior...
And the engine
I hope to get the car on a track or two this year, but it wont be going rallying - I aint risking that! But if all goes well this year, then later in the year or next year I will try to do some sprints or hill climbs in it...
For now the only video of the car being driven is this one made by PPC for the magazine..
