Actually 58.407. Speaking of FA20 development, when TRD Japan builds a car, they do it right. There is no turbo and the transmission is a re-geared stock unit (Aisin AZ6).

I’m working on these 2GRFE headers for a friend. Some long equal length 700mm stepped primaries have been spec’ed, and given limited space there are a number of bends. When it came to checking my work, I was having a hard time measuring lengths. Using a tape measure gave a different result every time as I looked for a happy […]
