I've always wondered whether that'd improve the side to side balance of the car. Normally a RHD has everything down that side: brake and clutch res and fluids, plus the turbo and the whole exhaust system - then add the driver as well. If some of it was offset to the other side I figured that would improve the balance somewhat. Agree or disagree?

Also, a very nice setup and attention to detail. This one aint still registered as a street car is it, at least not legally...? Any other pics?

Does anyone know more on the specs of this car?
Is it an entire Evo4-9 block (I suspect not due to custom engine mounts being required) or just the head?
What timing case and gears did he use?
Is it a stroker motor?
More importantly, what gearbox is keeping up with the grunt this thing puts out?

I think it had more to do with how it was not a very practical mod for our cars. Too much work to be done, not to mention our cars were designed for the exhaust to run down the drivers side (fuel line, mounts etc). VR4 1 - 3 evo head is such an easy and cheap mod.

whats he guna do when he races in the rain? no wiper motor?

Neil's videos above show that first event in the rain without a wiper (even noted in the title) but the second one shows a wiper just to the RHS of the screen along with a wiper mark. Yes it's only on the drivers side. Maybe when he took the photo it didn't have one, either that or it's tucked in behind the black panel. So some mods would have happened there...dunno

I think it would be smart of him to take the wiper off when it isn't raining, and then put it on when it is..
