Forgot to mention this earlier

Toyota should have kept the 4 turbo-only and replaced the NA models with this in the first place:

Is that the V6 installed?

Have fun changing the air filter.

Haha that would be so fun to fuck with them. I would love to mess with my buddy who works there, he thinks he knows so much about cars because he works there.

The panels beside the engine lid come off so it's easier than most cars. I have adjusted the red car's pod filter to sit right in the side intake.

Is it difficult to work on?

and now for the $1AU question...so how does it drive?

Interesting to drive. It is cruisier and smoother than the standard models but a fair bit slower than my turbo. The biggest surprise is how quiet it is at idle. I had assumed the mid-mounted position was responsible for these cars being so loud, but off-throttle the V6 can barely be heard. It has an awesome loud bark when you step on it though. Sound is probably its best feature.
I am using the stock 15s with shitty tyres at the moment and it could really use an LSD. But overall it complements the red car and I'm pleased with what should work out to be a cheap to maintain yet interesting sports car.

SBF - there's plenty of room in the engine bay. I would say halfweay between the NA and turbo models in terms of access.
