Vertex Soarer - Driven by Ueno (owner and founder for Vertex)

He has 7 Soarers, each of which are slightly different specs... I believe the one he took here to the US is a stock bottom 1jzgte with a single HKS turbo, cams, and some other stuff to make just under 500hp to the wheels. This particular soarer also has a HKS sequential tranny. Wide fenders allow for the skyline offsets of the wheels. Those particular VOlks have a special code of Gold... that apparently no one is supposed to have.

THe only other one I know something about is another red one which has all Blitz stuff making about 550... also stock internals. The GTCs on that car have a shiny gold lip with chrome face.

I was trying to talk to him about his setup in his car at SEMA, but it was hard trying to communicate though a translator. He's a cool guy tho. It was kinda cool after our convo. he just handed me some vertex t&e stickers. The only thing that we had a common understanding were engine codes... but i guess thats the universal language of car guys.

The stickers on the right side are a mirror image of the left side, so everything looks symetrical or whatever.. on the left side everything is the right way around... :P

Have a magazine article on the car these are the mods:

VVTi 2.5ltr 1JZ-GTE
HKS Boost Controller
HKS Valve Timing Controller
HKS FCON-V Computer
Internals standard apart from 1mm metal head gasket and 264o camshafts
HKS GT30 Pro II Ball Bearing Turbo internally gated (450-470ps)
Yashio Factory Three-Layer Radiator
HKS R-Type Oil Cooler
HKS Twin-Power Module
HKS Intercooler
Carbon Fibre Doors/Boot/Hood

i'll try get my scanner working and scan the magazine..
