Seems very Maclaren/Honda Formula 1 relationship colors. Probably picked the theme before the split-up. 

Kurt,

Replying to my own comment about the exhaust manifold to say that I just searched through your post history to see that it was you that did that interesting article on differences between Accord motor and Type R motor. Do it for this one too!

Yep, I dug around in it the other day when this info was made public as well. Only thing interesting left to me is more info about switch to integrated exhaust manifold in new head. 

Did you do a massive cross reference with every part available to figure this out? Impressive work. 

No vent there to cool anything, solid black plastic gash in the door. 

ugh, just watched qualifying. Hope something like rain makes it interesting because it’s shaping up to be a snoozefest. 

A non-hot-vee V8 twin turbo with what looks like a cast iron log manifold. Huh, how interesting. Marching to the beat of their own drum, aren’t they?

Can watch the end of VLN 8 on youtube right now.

What you mean?

He made the comment that he picked yas marina blue because it was a lot like Fjord blue.

What is “toyota prestige”?

Toyota didn’t spend any time there at all they phoned it in and ordered a Z4 coupe with odd styling. 

Toyota really needs to stop using #2(haha)

They’re just for looks. 

Thanks for the pics and some description of the suspension arms. Any thoughts on the exhaust pipe bends appearing to be larger than the straight runs?

Yeah, I sold mine with about that many miles on it and the repairs weren’t terrible but I’m sure there were more on the way. We currently have an X3 M40i that is ridiculously fun. I’m sure the new G20 M340i or M240i are a hoot. 

Mine was an 04. It was pretty damn good. 

My pick as well. Going on 3 years since I sold mine and I miss it dearly sometimes.

Because of these new regulations?
