You keeping the n12's mate??
My milano is being ripped apart and my exa will be kept for a 4wd E15 racing project. I ripped alot of the good parts off of if for the milano, so now its time to go back the other way.

I'm guessing that silly stalk is there cause the bonnet's so steep you dunno where the car ends. Should prolly leave it on for a bit until you're used to it
100% correct. I cant see any of the bonnet from the drivers seat, and i'm 6'3''. The indicator i do find very helpful it knowing the length and width of the car. If i get used to the size of the car i may be able to take it off.

I drove the Milano yesterday, and its insane being able to see the corners of the bonnet... so much easier haha. Sorta of a point and shoot feel.
Bloody Japs! Thats plain stupid. I can just see some ditzy looking 19yo female Japanese girl touch parking into a R35 GTR out the front of a sushi bar. :D

From the drivers seat I can't see how far the bullbar protrudes from the front of the Hilux, but that doesn't mean I go round touch parking everywhere FFS! Anyone ever heard of spacial awareness.

Ok, more photos

I decided to polish the headlights to get the fogging out of the plastic. Meguiars motorcycle plastic cleaner/polish did the job AWESOME! I did the drivers side light and left the passengers side for a comparison

My one is a 20V with a 6speed box...

20V doesnt mean 20valve. Its actually the trim... as in 2.0L VVL...

No front cuts that i know of, but have decided im going to scrap my 4wd E15ET build on the Exa and go for a P12 Sr20ve+t :) should do 400kw with out a HUGE amount of effort. I reckon one in a standard Exa would run a mid/high 12sec..

No mods at all =) im quite impressed with myself! haha. The radiator top tank did start to leak tho so i got that fixed...

20V - I see.

400kw is a LOT of effort, your numbers seems a bit dreamy and unnecessary for a FWD.

Yes the SR20VE is an amazing engine.

Precisely.
400 Hp is a big enough ask as it is.

Meh, with all the bolt on parts you can get for SR's the sky is the limit

Yea i really like the engine. Revs so freely, Still has plenty of torque, and the 6speed box just sets it all off :)

Ummm not really M8, your wallet is your limit.
Put a decent turbo and manifold on, decent cams, rods, pistons, stud girdles, all the rest, no change out of 10 large for perhaps 400Hp.

600Hp is getting close to the holy grail for a 2 litre 4 banger dude. They wont last long there.

Its good to dream =) Im not saying its going to happen haha.

I'd be happier with a SR20VE+T exa running a reliable 7psi that i can just drive
