[SW20Paul]

Looking good you gonna keep the boot liner in then ?

[tarmac terrorist]

ye i think it will look better.. as the mr2 boot is not that nice looking when carpet is removed..i want it to look like it could of been fitted in the factory,rather than an 8 year old has gone at it with a saw lol

[Munnsy]

looking good bud,
want to do somethin like this in the future but till the mrs has passed her test i need the boodt ( if thats what you can call it) for shopping
Good luck bud should look and perform amazingly well

[SW20Paul]

Keep up the good work just gotta start cutting next


P.s Dont foget whos having your sidemount.

[Cliff]

Looking good.

I have great respect for people taking it to this level.

dont panic.. nothing you can cut back there cant be fixed with a welder.

just take the underside heat shields off and make sure the exhaust is out the way and you'll be fine.

measure it all up and get a mate to watch from the other side (with goggles!!) as you cut to make sure everything is fine from both sides.

as it looks like your more than away, its all in the planning. good luck! looks like it's going to be a great project.

ye cheers.. have started the boot lid vent today... very relaxing cutting holes in metal.
just got drill holes for boot spoiler.bond vent on .blend to boot lid & spray

[daveparf]

looks cool, but i would of thaught if the air comes in the bottom it would go out the top, so wouldnt the scoop be better the outher way round?

[tarmac terrorist]

i think you would get too much heat from the exhaust & lower engine which would then be blown up into the intercooler (this is just my thought & not proven). so im trying the other way same as phoniex powers mr2.
air drawn in through the top & out the bottom through a boot vent which will have a 2" gap at engine end of vent & approx 5" gap at rear bumper end. by doing this i hope that the air running under the car will come through the engine end of the under car vent pass under the intercooler & out the back which i hope will create a venturi type effect & suck the air out from the top of the intercooler ( again not proven just another one of my ideas)

[tarmac terrorist]

been working on boot lid again today
drilling holes for spoiler as boot lid is from a rev3 & welding previous holes that are not required.

the hole nearest the boot lid edge is kept as this screws straight into the rev 2 spoiler & helps line it up

The hole welded that is not required (4 were done in total

original boot lid holes

new boot lid holes cut

spoiler & vent resting in place

[jimGTS]

very nice...
not ditching the rev1/2 spoiler?

[tarmac terrorist]

na keep rev 2 spoiler not shore about you mate but i prefer the rev2 spoiler to the rev 3, although i quit like the rev 4 spoiler but always feel like there laking something on the rear quarters with the other spoilers

[jimGTS]

i like em as well, just if you gone to the effort of filling holes and things, wouldnt be to much you get fill the old spoiler ones and fit something else if you got the skills/tools and bodyshop.
rev4 is same as rev3, think you ment rev5 spoiler

if you wanted to keep the flowing sides, a toms one on brys old car does that. that would be the only one i would get personally.

going to be a cool setup.


ps, dont have a leak down test kit at your workshop do you, could really do with a favour to check i havent blown HG

[tarmac terrorist]

ye thats what i meant ..yes i do mate its be bros i will see if he will lend it to you ,also have a head gasket tester if needed

Hi Mate nice to chat to you yesterday as always.

Heres a pic of my boot mount that i found oviously now theres a different turbo in there and changed some of the silicon hosing to metel but the intake side is still the same. & the oil catch tank has been replaced and moved, but you proberly dont have that problem cause you engine doesn't have it.


The later scooby scoop defently looks a lot better the earlyer one ive got,
