LOL, good point. Fortunately I have a good friend who owns a spray shop and has more workspace than I can shake a stick at!

Probably the first car that youve posted that makes me want to cry i want it so much....awesome :cool:
 
For the record the MK1 MR2 is a piece of art.

Always thought the V6 that use put in them was a lot lighter than the 3S-GTE.

Size of that turbo and intercooler, foot down now and it might spool up by next week :eek: :D

Imagine the kick when it did spool up :p :D

L0rdmike, iirc the it goes:

4a-ge - 1uz-fe (v8) - 3s-gte - <whatever the v6 is>

in order of weight from lightest (4a-ge) to heaviest, I could well be mistaken though, the v8 is all alu i believe hence the weight, the 4a-ge is cast block and alu head, not sure on the 3s-gte or the v6 but guessing the same...
 
Maybe I got the V6 and V8 mixed up.

Seen a pic of a MK2 Turbo where the GTE had been swapped with on the the V's. Looked like it was on stilts. :D

Think I've still got the Evo mag where they tested that and the factory turbo MX5, no idea if they were ever sold in v limited numbers but the review was quite cool, looked a bit like an old jag coupe :)

I've always wanted to stick a bonkers engine in an old phase 2 19 16v like my old one.

Something like a cosworth lump, rwd, whip the spoiler off, stick some coilovers and 4 pots on and leave the rest standard looking and I'd be happy :) One day hopefully, doesn't have to be a cossie lump but any 2 liter turbo type thing.

The V6 they use is the 3ZV-FE or the newer 1MZ-FE. The 1MZ-FE is lighter and newer but the 3VZ-FE has a stronger build and can be pushed to higher BHP.

the V8s used are the 1UZ-FE(4litre and the 3UZ-FE(4.3 litre). The 3UZ-FE is lighter and newer of the 2 but im not sure how much the weight reduction effected its strengh. But it still is highly tunable :D
The V8s are just a bit lighter then the 3VZ-FE IIRC.

This is the 3ZV-FE in the Mk1
