Was just chatting with Nate, the lead instructor at dirtfish, on FB messanger (very cool guy). He mentioned that the car is pretty much stock engine-wise: intake relocated to the wheel well to keep crap from gunking it up, straight exhaust, modified bell housing to mateup with the sadev sequential gear box etc. Subframes are completely custom, so different suspension pick up points t give it the correct geometry with the lift, and have WRC "R3" grade Reiger suspension ($18k dampers!). He said all in all, it cost about $50k on top of the price of the car to do all of this in house, so, it's basically just like getting a Synergy V8!

Oh cool a car video that starts out with dubstep/trap music and racking focus on aftermarket parts.

Honestly it's Top Gear's fault. That's how they shot cars ten years ago, people are still copying them just with different music. At least TG had some fun with the music choice as it sometimes reflected the attitude of the car. |

My family have owned several clubs (and even clutch pedal locks) and all have not kept the cars from getting stolen (some more than once). We had to resort to using hidden kill switches on my integra, my brother's civic and my dad's tacoma and none have been stolen since.
