My takeaways:
  • MT transmission will not hold more than the stock torque.
  • Low engine necessitates very low and reward front swaybar with long endlinks. They look to me like they'd snap.
  • Oil filter on top.
  • Coils on dampers (coilovers) on all 4 corners will keep suspension geometry constant, except that those front endlinks connect to the coilover so the aftermarket will have to support that.
  • Shallow oil pan, low total capacity.
  • Headers run under the oil pan (oil temps).
  • Steel suspension compenents. No camber adjustment seen yet. A lot of cost savings all around.
