Just nosey that is all. Has it kept the rear boot? Intrigued about the placing of the air intake intercooler, not seen that before usually gets stuck on the side engine vent and some use the fan to get air in the the engine bay to cool.. Also using the MK1 early engine cooling intake, does that make a difference? Is the inlet air intake on the roof.
Wonder if the engine is one of the vvti with the vvti still there. the 1.8 2zz.
It was brilliant fun as a standard 1.6....wonder how stable it is as the car has a very short wheel base. Or would that be an adavantage here?

I'm not sure about the rear boot, he did open it briefly while we were chatting to them but i didn't really get to see under the skin too much. There were various NACA ducts in the rear quarters going into that area though.
Black vent on the roof was a duct into a large carbon airbox behind the rear window, it's just covered by the spoiler in the picture. That went straight into the turbo then back out into the intercooler on the lower rear spoiler, which had a spray system and a chamber he filled with ice.
Didn't sound like it had any sort of VVT, it ran a link ECU with various modes including launch / anti lag etc. It had decent traction off the line to be fair, i didn't watch it anywhere other than the straight upto the first corner but he basically appeared to regularly win, and holds the 2wd record at Ashley forest rally sprint apparently, so it must handle alright!

It’s still some sort of Toyota engine, stroked to 2.2L, fully forged internals. I will probably see him again at the next event so I’ll see if I can pry some more info from him
