Just took Kates MR2 in for tracking Prior to the MOT tomorrow. A 3.0 V6 (1MZ-FE all alloy) with nothing but a pair of SuperTrapps sounds like a Lambo V12 :). She has spent some dollar on this. Lambo orange pain, smoothing in body kit, doors and bumpers, Tein Super Streets with pillow balls, MK4 Supra UK spec alloys, despoilered. Full Rev5 Leather interior out of my old Rev1 (complete with cup holders and tray - MR2 boys know how rare genuine Toyota versions of these are :p).

 

Just need to map it properly as the map on it was a bit rough to get it mobile.

 

I'll have to get a piccy up when it comes back from the garage.

This was always going to a beauty! Any headwork done on this Lyndon?

 

Kind of. The engine had det damage so I had to polish all the pitting out of all the chambers and had to have all the seats recut (to 3 angles). I have a spare engine that I'm going to get Rob Walker to port for me for when the cams and big valves go in and the Holset Hx35 gets strapped on. However, the deal was, I get her car on the road, then it's my turn with the v8 4WD TT MR2 ;)

Oooooo, I take it this will need the boot space too?

 

I can only imagine a 4wd MR2 being a serious contender on the track.

No, I could leave the boot in, but access to the front of the engine would be harsh. The boot fire wall will be coming out so I have belt access and also somewhere to put the intercooler and exhausts.

 

I have my eye on doing the TSS if it's still going in 2014 :D
