liam1 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 i went down that route with my mr2 before i got a supra, few pics of it next to me brothers supra, veilside gets a lot of stick on here i loved the look so much i have the same look on my supra. http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq58/123mustang2009/mr2b.jpg http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq58/123mustang2009/mr2a.jpg http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq58/123mustang2009/mr2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The mr2 is a lovely looking motor, I like the kit mate, get a trd side vent and some nice deep wheels and it will look brilliant, I would keep the paint subtle though. Make sure you bring pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 While we're on the subject of Veilside, does anyone know what happened to this rather special Supra?; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Just got home after a very long day out and I have to say I am delighted with the new purchase. I had bought the car blind and as you well know, there are many people out there who could quite easily make anything sound a lot better than it is but in the case of this seller he was 100% honest. The bodywork is as good as it looks in the pics (probably better as the red really is a great deep colour) and the inside of the car is spotless too. I picked up all the receipts and service history and you can easily see by looking at them and the condition of the car that it has been well looked after. And so to the drive home. I had to go from Liverpool to past Chester first to pick up a PC that Josh had bought (another great buy and a bargain) and then back down the M6 to Wales. All the way the car never missed a beat. Very responsive engine if you use the revs and the gearbox is a delight. As you can tell I I am very pleased indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Sounds great Col, really pleased that it went well and is as described. The gear change can be a little stiff but given how short the throw is it's very positive and feels great. I added a short shifter to mine and it just makes the throw silly short, it's great Get the alignment checked out and then take her into the twisties to see what the MR2 is really all about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 She is going in for a full service on Wednesday and will also be up on the ramps to look at the underneath inc the links, arb, suspension and general condition. Need to find somewhere local for the alignment then and to sort out the wheel balance and tracking as she wobbles a bit at 80. Now have to decide on whether to save for a 3gtse or 3.0l v6 conversion.

The 3SGTE is cheap as chips but if you are doing a conversion I would always go for the V6 as you can get similar power with a far better torque curve. Plus the sound etc Woodsport are fantastic at these conversions. If you can get around 300/300 you will have the perfect MR2 setup IMO. Anything more than that and the fun is overtaken by the fear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be too expensive for me though as it would take too long to save up and I'm an inpatient blighter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the V6 engines are expensive either, but obviously there is a bit of work involved. Those guys are a dab hand at it though so if you're ever going to get value for money it'll be through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After going through all the "experiments" all those years ago with the single Supra, I don't want to fall into that trap again and so completely agree with you about using a specialist this time. I was erring towards the 3GTSE as you can normally pick up the whole car (as in a breaker) for cheap money and then (correct me if I am wrong) it is just a case of transplanting the bits. That to me sounds like it could be done by a half decent mechanic as opposed to a specialist and therefore, (in theory anyway), should be cheaper.

Think outside the box though CJ. You would then be left with a GTE engined N/A which won't be worth a whole lot given the price of genuine tubbys. Not a lot of V6s on the roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
