Rx7 with a V8, about 350 or so hp just for messing round 84 mr2 with a 2L celica motor, subaru turbo and an ecu I soldered up in my bedroom that I run from my laptop. 92 Prelude with a big turbo on low boost that I just got running today. About 300hp or so. 88 mr2 that I'm putting a turbo 3 litre V6 into, can't decide between a cheap twin turbo setup or a big single. 84 mr2 with a levin 20 valve I have to fix, it's not charging and a CEL on dash 90 mr2 I am putting a 3L V6 in Putting a front bumper on my 91 V6 mr2 and going to fibreglass and paint soon. 92 turbo mr2 that I'm finishing a wire tuck on.
I am king mr2, bow down to me.

NEVARRR! I like MR2's they go alright, I wouldnt mind getting my old MR2 back , but if i do get a mr2 ever again, it needs to be manual.
Otherwise my project this year will be fixing up My triumph 2500tc, andmy question about it would be, is there any known ideal gearbox replacements! I wouldnt mind being able to bolt up a supra 5 speed box to it instead of that floppy old one that iv just bolted back in, mind you, since im doing that i may aswell find a better engine to transplant into the triumph, gunna sound like sacralidge and overkill, but i wouldnt mind a 1jz and box bolted into it, with ITB's is should sound quite nice while pulling the smirks off of numbnut BR's on the track( if i ever goto the track )

Geese that Suzuki would have been a tight fit! I'm doing 1981 Toyota Crown super saloon sleeper, chrome bumper pilarless model, Lexus V8, de-loomed, reworked interior, keeping the fridge on the rear parcel tray, looking for Reclining rear seats. Motor is in and driving. Looking to keep it original looking on original wheels, no airbag suspension lol.

The motor fitted in the engine bay ok nothing else did though. Radiator is now on the back tray, brake master cylinders are under the dash and not much of the factory trans tunnel is left. Was definatly worth it though. I would put pictures up if i knew how

Ya forgot to cut the ends off the cable ties always looks nicer if they are round the same way lol and not blue.

That pic is about two years old!Things have progressed a fair bit since then - but well spotted anyway!The HT leads still have the original yellow stickers on too.
I use blue or red ties to remind me that there is still work to be done. By the way, it isn't a show car either. Dash wiring cable ties are coloured though - but for a good reason.
