What cars and motoring related stuff do you like...but not generally let people know you like or desire?
I'll start it off:
* i really, really like the Toyota V6 engine in the Aurion. it's an awesome engine...smooth, quiet, full alloy construction, economical, 200kw and plenty of shove. The only drawback is that it's only fitted in a front drive configuration in the Aurion. That's not because FWD is the work of the devil, it's because it severely limits or excludes the possibilities to fit it to other old cars.
* The 120Y...coupe. I really like them. I saw one a while back with fat steels, lowered a bit, fitted with a two liter Bluebird SOHC engine and five speed manual that had a turbo strapped on it and an intercooler slung low in the front. It wasn't painted properly, only patchily primered, but it had massive potential.
* Rotaries...I love them...despite the drawbacks and mechanical limitations, i think they're an amazing motor. I could think of no better eye-opener at a car show than a little old light weight Escort coupe fitted with a worked to buggery 13b in it...ah what the hell...hang the expense and stick in a three rotor 20B... 
So come on...the confessional doors are shut...it's between you, me, and the hundreds of other people on this forum...  |
You are not the only one that appreciates the 2GR-FE as found in Aurion.
That engine powers Lotus Evora in both NA and supercharged versions and RWD configuration.
Engine is also used in Lexus RX series and direct injection version is in IS350.
