This thread was linked on the aussie MR2 forums.

It is a photo diary of one man's Japanese odyessy.

This guy has seen some sweet cars and been to some awesome events.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

Both 20v cranks, the bottom one is HKS, top one is custom made. Makes the HKS one look a bit standard!!

Oh and yay for hot japanese chicks :lol:

three minutes is plenty of time to have my way with her, then have a smoke and still have one minute left to catch my breath cos i don't smoke,

if a dude was getting custom crank made youd think it would be knife edged too.
let me rephrase that, how does a 20v make 357ps NA without the crank being knife edged?

NAWWWS not sure how much but it does mention its used. Either way is bloody impressive!

knife-edging is a method for removing weight from an existing crank design. a custom crank will have the require mass designed into the shape of it.

i can't read the thread because i'm capped but the colour of it also suggests that it's made from an exotic lightweight material.

from what i've read about knife edging, i agree weight reduction is big part of it, but i also have the understanding its meant to help cut through splashing oil and oil draining back to the sump, where as that crank has fairly block like faces, im just interested to know if sharp edges (i.e on the counter weight) is needed, well the engine is producing so i guess not,
