Not keen on the rear end with the new exhaust but I guess it's gonna offer better performance so that won't matter.
Love it

New wheels and another exhaust

I'd be more concerned by the pressure difference above the diffuser, where there would have been a solid plastic "wall" before there will now be an area of low pressure dragging air in above the diffuser.
I bet it's messing with the aero completely.
I'm pretty sure that is my favourite car on OCUK, its ace
I must have been out in it about 3 times now.
It is awesome.

K20 swap or still Yamaha? 265 is quite a lot of bhp..
Its the Toyota engine supercharged.

Another one for the "before" camp.
Stupid question: now that the exhaust is spitting fire right next to your paintwork instead of at the bottom by a plastic tray, is there any danger that it will eventually start to damage the paintwork?

What a lovely car, looks like a fantastic example and well cared for too.
However, I prefer both the wheels before and the exhaust. The exhaust looks half finished like something is missing. Looks unbalanced after seeing the exhaust in the middle too.

ah v nice....
really needs a PPE header, and 3" intake, that would sound pretty sick...
although toyota may supply, the engines will come with YAMAHA stamped onto the block. mine does anyway.
+1 - prefer the old wheels and pipe. It's still a stunning care though.
I really like the exposed exhaust and the rods/hangars holding the diffuser up, as mentioned, purposeful... would be nice if you could replace the middle strap behind the plate with something else a bit thinner, like two more rods.
Ideal world, full titanium exhaust at the back would look the nuts.

Added a few bits to the car recently, new wheels wrapped in the new Toyo R1R's which should be loads better than 888's/A048 semi slicks if I get caught in a downpour.
And also another exhaust, must be the 4th one now but a totally different style 'GT3' from the Cadena Exige race cars from 2006. The rear panel that holds the number plate must be removed for this exhaust, looks much more aggressive and is actually a lot quieter to boot!

Only downside is a the back of the car now gets covered in black soot from the exhaust, still spits flames though
Apologies for the filthy car in the latest photos, it will be clean for saturday I promise!
Neil.
I really love these cars, and nice 2bular!
