Seems a shame not too when you've already got most of the bits you need :wink: The V6 I got was overheating as the head-gaskets were shot. So while the heads were off I did a bit of DIY porting, nothing spectacular but hopefully it's helped things along a bit. Apart from a DIY exhaust with Powerflow...

Was only joking mate Would be nice to see another MR2 or two there tho'

Crack on then, you've got over 2 mths!!

Date of liability is an incident of the tax or sorn expiring apparently, nowt for you to worry about I wouldn't have thought.
The car will have been built in '91 but not imported to the UK until '01, simples

No chance the camping will be as good as last year though! And I thought you'd built that V6 for the 9999 challenge, those coilovers are worth a grand! Just pulling your leg, I'm looking forward to seeing/hearing the V6 up the strip. Did you sort the temp problems after mallory? Regards The secret ...

Hi all, If anyone's interested in some cheap fun 'motorsport' then entry has just opened for this years 'PPC £999 challenge' at Santa Pod on Fri 16th Sept. You have to buy and modify (if reqd) a car for less than £1k and race it up the 1/4 mile and around a handling course against a bunch of like mi...

Sounds familiar, check the cam belt tensioner

Ok, you could always come and cheer on our V6 entry at the Pod in September?

Come and join the fun fella. I came 2nd last year with just a Rev3 lump in our G-Ltd. It's getting a V6 for this year though

Are we getting caster and camber mixed up here?

Ours is actually on coilovers but the fact you're going to be using it on track is why you should set it up with the extra negative camber, especially at the front to reduce understeer. You will need 'camber bolts' if you don't already have them but theses are readily available

This is what we use-

Front toe 0deg
Rear toe 0.3deg/3mm IN (per side)
Front camber -2.0deg
Rear camber -1.5deg
Front castor 3.0deg (if adjustable)

an evo engine would be a better start tbh :) But that'd mean 2 custom engine fits with twice the complications. If an EVO engine was to be used it'd be better to start with an EVO which would bump the cost up quite a bit. The easiest / cheapest way to 500BHP per engine would probably be a 2.3 SAAB ...

Yes guys it would be built with lightly tweaked engines to start with, so 'only' 600BHP say. It doesn't need 1000BHP from the off but the potential will be there for the future. It's a build that could be done in stages- 1. Tweak front engine, have some fun to make sure it's a good 'un. :lol: 2. Rem...

From an engineering point of view it's much easier to fit a 2nd engine into a GT4 than it is to start from scratch and fit 2 engines to a car that wasn't meant to house either of them. I'm sure some company with enough time / skill / money could do it, but that ain't me. This idea (and that's all it...

Sorry, I think I know what one is. Saw one in Morrisons car park this morning But why would I choose a non-descript shopping trolley over a proven 4wd rally car that already has one 3SGTE bolted in the front and hubs in the rear ready to accept the 2nd?

A what?

Sounds about right to me

Thanks for the input guys :thumleft: Looks like the bottom ends fairly simple providing I start with a decent engine. Just needs sprucing up with forged pistons, race bearings and ARP bolts. I can port the head myself which should help things along but could probably stick with stock cams, which'll ...
