They did it to a BEAMS Altezza I think. It's been posted about on here. I think someone even posted a picture once.

what gives you that impression? FYI: VVT-i is like... computer controlled adjustable cam gears... in the Beams Redtop's case... only on the intake side. It wouldn't be *that* great... no better than a 3SGTE with adjustable cam gears... I'll be the one to admit... I like the Beams because of the shiny red valve cover... ;] -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
1995 AT200 Celica ST: stocked out daily driver... 1984 AE86 Corolla GT-SR5: silvertop 20V 4AGE project car jacked up with goodies... 1991 SW2x MR2 n/a: bare bones hardtop model soon to be... |
