In true EZ Boy fashion, me and several co-conspirators decided to take a *sneak peak* at some of the hard to see details.
TB
Coils
Strut brace
We can report the car runs approx 2.1/4" exhaust. There is an ENORMOUS hot dog. The exhaust is practically DEAD straight from the firewall to the rear suspension. HEAPS of room for twin muffs.
The exhaust runs down a nice big tunnel with loads of room for yummy AWD components.
Looks goods..
Theres only 1 thing i dont like about the interior of the cars.
The seats.. They are pretty much the same as the Verada leather seats.. And they look like old man style..

The inlet is 70mm but the BF cross-section is still 65mm. Still offset bored, still a lip but much smaller - they're slowly learning.

What about the VRX/GT's?

Coil per plug I see, and I like the engle mounted TB onto the plenum, that design improves even cylinder fill.
I wonder if the distance between strut towers is the same?

Yep, have you seen the VR-X/GT seats ?, I haven't yet, but from the photos, it looks like they have plenty of bucket, they look hot as well.
Ahahahha, that was pretty funny, having a peak under the hood. There should be some nice gains from some nice extractors and the removal of 2 of the cats, Which will take some effot.
From the photo there you can also see the EMS computer, which is next to the airbox, its very meaty.

Coil per plug I see, and I like the angle mounted TB onto the plenum, that design improves even cylinder fill.
It's also electronic throttle control, which makes for easy relocation and multiple installs....
