MR2 V6

[Relentless Rob]

Just to make sure the car does stand up instead of wheelie bars how about one of these?

[tommi]

nice find, rare bit of kit, never seen one of those before

[TeamTotalWankel]

Might be looking at doing this apres £999-

Probably the last 1 or 2 this year with a view to doing the full season next year. Won't be fitting a TRD if we do though as that'd put us in with the 'Big Boys'!!

looks interesting!!!

Been making a few enquiries about the class (C PRO) we'd be running in. One of the winning cars from a couple of rounds was a 1400KG / 215BHP Supra. I think we might be in with a shout

Well, were getting pretty close to finally getting the V6 installed. It's all reassembled after its top end rebuild and gasflowing -



It's got it's new engine mount fitted and PS pump etc removed-



Original MR2 gearbox is bolted in place (only one hole to drill out to 12mm to allow fitment). Unfortunately there's no flywheel in there as I'm still waiting for a mate to elongate the existing holes as it wouldn't quite fit on my pillar drill-



Looking to get it in next weekend (flywheel permitting!!) and then onto the challenge of making some sort of eggsaust for it

[TeamTotalWankel]

The V6 is finally in there!! Went in a doddle, it's tight in there but no harder than fitting the 4 pot really





Seemed rude not to crack a celebratory Stella once she was bolted in place



Just the wiring and eggzorst to sort now!!

So then, will you be having a quick test run tomorrow then?

[tommi]

did you know stella now make cider!

As Tommy Cooper would say - "Juslikethat!"

Managed to get a decent crack at the exhaust this afternoon.

Hopefully this was the difficult bit, the rear bank looping round to meet the Y-piece over the rear subframe. I've managed to incorporate a joint (old Montecarlo exhaust from shed ) to allow it to split for removal. The rest of the bits are an old MR2 downpipe and bits from the Kwik-fit scrap bin = £0

Just tacked at the mo', will clean it all up and weld properly once I'm happy-





Should hopefully mate up to any N/A rear box and de-cat once done.

[bulletproofbob]

if ya want a tiggy tiggy nice weld drop it in

[TeamTotalWankel]

Ta Bob, might just take you up on that mate

[TeamTotalWankel]

Got the exhaust welded properly this weekend and just lashed a bit of VHT on it-





Quite happy how it's turned out

We're going for a big push this weekend to get it running. This should leave us the obligatory '1hr tinkering time' before Mallory

[fha772]

It's looking good Nick
Can I have a ride in it at Mallory?
