Another swap completed, 3rd Gen 3S-GTE Beast Options

Went to pick up the car about 2 hours ago, Test drove it and OMFG unbelieveable how much torque this engine generates. Its fast just WAY fast. going from 60-110 in 6,5 seconds. Needed to test if the speed limiter was removed, well it was

Going easy now and will test drive it for the next 2 weeks before putting some major stress on it. In this period I hope to have fitted the GT4 hood and bumper and also bringing it to the painter.

I'm just amazed at how my tires held up, did not push it but no wheelspin in 2nd gear on semi wet surface. But still have to break in the clutch. So keep you guys updated. Will try to make a few better shots tomorrow sinces it rains now and my car is dirty!

Thx guys.

Still have 2 minor issues that have to be solved.
1 Speed limiter is still on the car but not on 180km/h but at 195km/h Cant be certain if its that or fuel cut.
2. Because the stock ST205 exhaust did not fit properly I still have my old exhaust, Which has 2 inch piping, because of that the car gets alot of backpressure and it sounds like an F18 when going above 5000rpm. Going to replace that section+exhaust temporarily with an Invidia exhaust untill my new (probably Blitz) exhaust arrives.

But have test drove it now for about 4 hours and 120 miles I can say. Because the car is heavier on the front i have more traction. Haven't pushed the car at maximum, but I have the same or more grip in corners. Plus still not managed to get a lot of wheel spin. Guess my Tyot Proxes T1-R 225/35/18 are pretty good!
