The fact there is an air cavity around the inlet pipe could mean that it's there to simply provide a heat buffer for the hottest part of the inlet surround... There are easier/better ways to do it, but it also doubles as a nice under engine 'style' feature.... so maybe that's all it is.

That said - there's a fair bit of extra mass there that given the designer intentions (track ready) seem unlikely to be anything but functional... but who knows.

Love the hypothesis to use air as a thermal ressistance. After all air has a low conductivity. You might be right.

Holymoly this sounds so smooth!! Where can I get this vacuum cleaner???

I couldn't tell any change once they put it into +R mode. That's disappointing.

Gotcha.

One thing I noticed was that I didn't see the wireless phone charger as an option. So is thst standard?

I could have sworn someone said that it wasn't standard.

On the Japanese accessories page I see it listed as an option.

The guy also wasn't really stepping on it. Disappointing.

Add to this car 10sp automatic gearbox from Accord and it would be perfect!

I regret to inform you, you've been ejected from Type R. Please leave all clutches and gearsticks where you found them and say your goodbyes. Bags will be inspected upon leaving.

Would it make you feel better if it had a different name?

Dunno about him but I feel Toyota should've come up with a new vehicle name. Corolla just doesn't do it for me

 

[Tickle]

Corolla all the things!
