im sorry to hate, but the idea was great, but the fab work for the engine bay is far from what i would call a well thought out plan or even race car. the radiator and intercoolers are very inefficient at its angle, they could have at least built better end tanks for the intercoolers instead of capping it off and putting an elbow on it, there is no bracing between frame rails up front, and even the high beam slots just have a plain tube in them and not directed anywhere. if the builder didnt short cut the front end and actually thought about the structural aspects of the front and more attention to detail, this thing would be a legit race care. other than that, it can only do quick stints and thats all. no cruising, no road racing, no true enjoyment of a race built car.

I just look at this again, It looks to be a 2uz 4.7 tundra engine, I missed that the first time thru.

Car is so ugly. I can respect the performance though. Didn't get ANY aestetics right not even the engine bay.

I still dont understand how they did the V-mount setup.. the intercoolers are at the wrong angle, parallel with the radiator... and I think they are oversized with some poor endtanks...
