Open up wide. I see a lot of people taking the trunk and hood open pic, so I figured someone must like to see it.

Here's the view of the front with the hood open.

Now zoomed in on the engine we can see the GTS's 1.8L engine that makes over 110 HP/liter with my modifications. You can see the Rod Millen Motorsports air intake with heat shield. The heat shield drops air tempature by 60 degrees compared to the temp inside the engine compartment, and is almost able to deliver ambient air temperature. This gives most of the benefits of a true cold air intake without the worry of hydrolocking.

Here's a pic showing the wheel gap after when the Sportivo suspension is installed. I have the stock 16" wheels wearing 205/50/R16Z Yokahama AVS 100's. These replace Michelin Pilot Sport tires. I decided not to buy the Michelins again because I don't want to support French comapanies, so I certainly didn't want to drop 1k on french tires. The Yokahamas are almost as good, Traction AA Heat A Treadwear 280.

Here's a shot of the inside which you can see the TRD shifter that has the short shift kit. The floormat is having diamond plate fabricated to reinforce an area where I wore two holes in it. Too much heal-toe action I guess.

Here's a picture from the drive point of view, as we're rocking down a closed two lane road.

SilverGTS --> Umm, this is just based off of what my dealer said when doing emisions. I've never done an actual dyno so not sure how much I'm doing to the wheels. Keep in mind that I also have a lightened flywheel, so that might factor in.
