Got to explore this thing a bit. Here is some specs that might not be published yet.
Front wheel and tire weigh 55 lbs each.
Rear wheel and tire weigh 57.4 lbs each.
Exhaust is 2 3/8" (60mm) and is only 1 3/4" where it is crimped to clear the body brace.
Front sway bar is 25mm.
Rear sway bar is 23mm.
Axles are 1.100" (pretty decent size).
Brembos are not the same as the Evo (although pad size may be).
Intercooler is TINY... 4 3/4 tall, 3 1/2 deep and 20" wide. Upgraded ICs will have to be brought forward where there is plenty of room.
Front bumper is fairly easy to remove. Oil changes should be super easy. It appears to be the same oil filter we use on the 4g63 and 4b11.
The car has many many bells and whistles. I will go into the super pimp ones in a later post. I have to burn a full tank of 87 octane out of this thing tonight so I can get it on the dyno tomorrow.

Here are some quick pictures I took on my phone.
My new coupe sitting outside of Gartner Hyundai
On the lift at the shop checking it out from underneath.
Front bumper cover removed. Lots of heavy steel up front!!!
The tiny cooler at the bottom is the intercooler. The charge pipes are held on with spring clamps!!!
Can you tell what my first mod was?
......and my second mod!!!
