Just over half way down the page
3ltr converted, 260BHP spec
Bonnet modified to fit 3ltr engine, GTO caliper, Project Mf front discs, Uprated brake pads
HKS Kansai DEMO car, one of its kind in UK, track prepared car, one seat racing harness, racing seat
AP racing brake bias kit
HKS cat back exhaust - one off. Only one in the world.
Roll caged - taken 2 years R&D for the car!
It sounds like a 3 litre mivec to make 260 horses and thats been done in a magna with a manual gear box here in perth before (it made 200hp at the wheels with just extractors and an air filter) but if thats at the fly its still a good figure.... Beats my 150 at the wheels.

I like the 'modified bonnet', where they just bend the mounts so it sit higher at the windscreen end

I think they just used nuts as spacers between the bracket and the bonnet. Its been done by 'J', an old member on here. That car was bought by Kustom_FTO, I think he had J remove those nuts for him though.

True. I didn't believe, since I knew the black car's intake noise was coming out front of the bumper through the ram hose anyway.
I thought it would have been true for koolio's, he took the rubber lining off that area of the bonnet to help with his heat issues, and he had mivec, and the filter was not fully enclosed and he said he could not turn the music loud enough to fight the induction noise

. That I want to find out with my car one time.
