Wifes MR2 Coupe
My MR2 GT Turbo
My Old Camaro
My old Jag
Hill clime Mini just before being taken for MOT so had to put some road wheels on which made it interesting to drive especially as it had almost 200hp
Ford GT40 nice to be able to say I worked on this
TR4 repaired oil leek
Porsche Boxster S that I worked on and was pit crewing for at Brands Hatch.
I've also done work on Austin Healey 100/4 and am about to finish off an Austin Healey Sprite both being done for historic racing class and both were full strip down and ground up rebuilds. I'll post pics once its finished in about 6 months.

Ashley I'm glad to hear some useful comments from you at least, this is the first I've heard about the block being substantially heavier on the 503e/ 3SGT and it may explain why so many people here are saying its not possible in which case I may have to stick with standard bore but may be worth doing some measuring once I get engine apart, as for the turbo I'm looking at GT3582 once engine is built and it should fit nicely with around 20-25lbs of boost, as for the current setup fuel rails, injectors, intercooler, dump valve, waste gate, ecu and intake have all been uprated already so its engine internals and turbo that needs doing next and I'd rather sort internals before changing turbo. I will probably change the inlet manifold as the non turbo manifold actually has better airflow and doesn't make the engine run lean on cylinder 3 and will give better performance.

I built/own the only supercharged 2gr mk1 in the world, so yep
We have a plug and play 2gr supercharger kit coming out this year along with AEM ECU package.

Yes that's my car Rob bought it a few months ago so I may have to give him a call to get it removed so thanks for posting like I said a lot of work already done on it. But did need some bits sorting and still needs some others doing too, where's best place to get a seal kit for Tien dampers any idea?
Sorry I haven't really taken any photos because I just do it as a hobby helping out friends and yes it does say John Cleland on the door and I didn't build the engine in the mini just set up chassis and electrics the engine was already in it, yes it was a crazy drive esp on those tyres trying to wheel spin in top gear and not wanting to run at low revs, the engine is 1475cc overbore with twin webbers and alot of other components including full race gearbox with straight cut gears so loud as hell too.
