Default Wide arched V6

Thanks for all the comments. The car was imported from Japan with this kit on it and I cant find any other one with the same..so lets hope i never need to replace any panels.
The engine was standard when I imported it in 2008, since then its got a fully forged rebuild, 550cc inj, sard pump and reg, HKS downpipe-full exhaust-intake, Apexi power fc with controller and Apexi AVCR.

Ran a 12.7 quarter mile and a 1.8 second 60ft on standard ecu running .9 bar boost with 95ron + additive @ Enniskillen last Sunday 10/04/2011

First run against a ITR got a 12.77 @ 104mph
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkP4Z...&feature=share

Semi final run against a GTIR with 100 bhp Nos: I lost by .2 second
@ 12.70 quarter @ 106mph
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xl1RJDCiOo

The reason for the standard ecu is that I just had the engine freshly built and more out of curiosity to see what times it would put down. Off to East Coast customs for a GT30 and a remap next week.

Any comments welcome

Thanks, On the old engine with the Power FC mapped was 335 bhp with 325 ft/lb running a VF34, 550's, 255lt and fmic. Ill wait for the remap and new turbo and see what times and power I get.

Hate arches, but those look the dogs, someone has done a top job blending them in. Shame the front bumper doesn't quite stretch/fit but still one of the nicer arch jobs I've seen
