The one in oneshift's article is the 1st generation Variant R which was not approved by LTA and is in black. Claimed 150bhp. The latest 2nd gen Variant R which is approved by LTA and in Leng Kee shwrm currently is in white without the straight-through exhausts of the 1st gen and some subtle decals and cosmetic changes.Claimed 140bhp. Which one do u guyz prefer? I prefer the 1st gen VR in the colour of the 2nd gen

So other than the exos, the rest same as first gen VR?..meaning with HKS open pod setup, shifted battery, OCT, ECU tuning, upgraded sports clutch, Bride seats and upholstery, all the bars, Enkei lightweight rims?.. ...Anyway, I like the open pod setup..much neater...Fong kim can do this setup for V2, tat is shift battery slightly backwards and provide customised s/s ram pipe to the extg batt location and heatshield the pod at the corner..my bro do for his Avante for abt $100 plus i think..Avante same setup as V2..but V1 a bit harder coz TB is at the back..

I dun like the piping for the HKS. It's too many bends. They should have remove the batt cover then do a shorter & more straight piping, lesser power loss.

Agree..The bends on the ram pipe juz to use the stock batt cover on the VR is not so good for air flow.......My bro one not like tat...Fong Kim did a straight ram pipe frm TB to the corner and my bro DIYed a heatshield ard it..
