Actually, I think the wheels are the same. The picture I linked above is just a low-res image.

I don't know Japanese... but do these graphs look different? Have they "re-tuned" the torque curve?

That scoop looks like some cheesy MR2 aftermarket part. I like the JGTC scoops a LOT better.

Scoop diagram doesn't show or say much, other than it is an option jointly developed with Mugen. This option has been available for Type-S and Type-R before, however, this is a newly designed scoop. I agree with David, the 98-spec style is much nicer in my opinion.

So how much power is this thing putting out?
Looks like around 330 N-m.. ?? What is that equal to?

Hey guys,

It cracks me up when I use the AltaVista translation site to view the Type-R site in Enlgish.
http://babel.altavista.com/sites/babelfish/tr

Here is the translation to the hatch scoop:

"- Rear hatch garnish
(Inc.) infinity cooperation development. The racing image of R it is and it is the ‚¿, it is with the dress rise item which is mounded. (Manufacturer option)"

If I can order a dress rise item, I'd do it in a heart beat. How much is it?

Although the translation is not perfect, it is better than not being able to even guess what it says.
