Looking good Brook. Loving the lights mate. :thumleft: My old car used to have a carbon centre panel and Rev 1 lights. I was going to fit Rev 3's but it just didn't look as good. http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h55/glenbarnett/The%20Red%20Beast/DSC_0042.jpg Mine now has a V6 fitted. After having h...

What the devil are you talking about man? Please be a little more specific.

Btw, for anyone who doubted the quality of genuine border products...check the fit quality of this! -straight out of the packaging, no altering to anything what so ever -just stuck it straight on the car!..20min job :D I've said it before Ryan. Border products fit perfectly. Looks the biz mate. :th...

My ex rev 3 engine. Mainly because it was built originaly by a complete muppet, and then because it was maintained by a t0sser.

Chronic piston slap, leading to bore wash, compression loss, bore wear and finally, complete failure.

Border themselves only use 2 layers a total weight of 600 matting. We use 750 as we feel it needs the extra 150 for structure. Genuine Border front ends are made from urethene, not fiberglass, as per the stock front end. They also replicate the complete attachment structure, and fit without modific...

Spot on Jim. :thumleft: Take two cars (independant of make). Both cars make 150bhp at the wheels. The transmission loss for both cars equates to somewhere in the region of 17% as they're both RWD (generally FWD cars suffer more loss, typically around 20%). Modify one so it makes 500 at the wheels. D...

Ian, it's the same deal no matter what car you modify. The more you modify it, the more day to day reliability is lost. If you set yourself a goal (say around 350whp - and believe me, that's enough for any road car), you have a good chance of keeping a fair deal of reliability and drivability. My ol...

No rollers yet Bob, just going on figures taken from my friends GTech. I used one on my old car, and it was correct to within a couple of bhp, so no reason to doubt this one.

arh ok cool, forgot theres like a tons of different v6s to fit. well im currently converted to screamer pipe land and external wastegates, lol... so would be hard pushed to convert me considering i only just got myself a modded rev5 tubby, lol... still, be good to hear one. \:D/ Nah, that's fair en...

I've bought these for my 1MZ-FE http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=140272999262 Handy for the 12 injector conversion too \:D/ She's going to make some lovely noises :D Lyndon. Nice one Lyndon. Bout time someone got a 1MZ on TB's. Should sound like ...

what you done to the v6 earl to get it close to those figs? ive barely seen any v6s get close to 200 at the fly let alone at the wheels... (bar the SC boys, lol) i hope to hear one for real asap! Jim, the 3VZ-FE makes around 200 bone stock at the fly. With light porting and downpipe mods, it's quit...

There will always be an argument for the turbo, and one for the V6. I've had both. The turbo was an animal, making well over 450bhp at the flywheel with 360ft/lb of torque at 5500rpm. Very fast, but it was an absolute pig to drive. The V6 is making close to 200 at the wheels and somewhere around 220...

The tips are stainless, but the main box and pipework are plain old pig iron mate.

EarL.

Pretty sure Graeme's head is bog standard. The stock head is fine for power levels way over 450.

EarL.

Here's mine...



EarL.

Errr.... isn't that a model?

Good man!

You won't regret the conversion. It totally transforms the performance of the car. Instant grunt from any rpm.

Roundabouts will never be the same once you've driven out of them in your V6 MR2...

All the best,

EarL.

Stunning Jim. Externally... don't change a thing. It's gorgeous mate.

Congrats.
