Mr2 Turbo Sprint Car (Banshee)

[bobhatton]

Fuel system for 400 to 800 HP

[stephano]

fitted the engine to chassis brace today







thought the rear plate would be better welded on instead of just the 3 bolts





proper hammerite



all done





got on with the coil on plug conversion as well so

on with the sensor bracket





then timing wheel

[ashley]

Very nice- that brace looks the business mate, doesn't look to complicated to make either...now there's a thought

[Magic Beans]

Nice work Steve

It would be good if you to do a write-up on the COP install when you do it. No pressure of course

fitting the motec - laptop port









spent the rest of sunday trying to find the cause of a nasty missfire!

[stephano]

new trailer



Finaly managed to find a rev 5 spoiler and boot lid and for a tidy sum of £200

so...





there are a few marks on the lid where its been rubbed down with an air sander but as this is no show car (and may end up in a tree!) i couldnt care less so just painted it.

I'm surprised you didn't opt for something which improves downforce etc? Looking good though

[stephano]

I'm bound by the rules. The silhouette must remain the same as a factory mr2 in my class.
Still I'm sure the rev5 adjusted to full angle will be better than rev2.

On the next car i/we build will be in the libra class then I can go nuts with aero!

[Magic Beans]

"Next car" This I like to hear

[stephano]

yeah we have a spare car' 5s-fe block and trd kit so i figured lets go mental!

the plans are rough but it will be as extreme as posible and running on meth!

[Magic Beans]

Just meth?

If only you were closer to where I live

Sorry- that needs repeating to make sure everyone appreciates it

yeah thought it would be fun to run a car on a sustainable fuel

I see the WE in there.

First there is the BMW to get going, and my race car, then my Black MR2 the White T bar MR2 oh and the 2000 HP Chevy.

Then we will have the room to do the 1500 HP MR2

I wish you were my dad Bob. I'd have been much happier covered in oil and surrounded by engine parts, than being forced to watch soccer ball and other such dull activities

When Steve was born for the first year he was called Turbo, not that he would remember, but his mum got fed up with that in the end

Haha, it's a good job you didn't specialise in toilets back in the day...
