Hi, it's been about 5 months since I had the conversion done.

So I' thought I would post some pics of how the cars coming along. I have now had the heat shields chromed and put a set of 18 inch wheels on the car. I have also put on a Toms air scoop and customised the side vents anda carbon fibre bonnet. Sorry if some of the photos are a little dark.

oh that is just so nice...keep up the good work...

Thanks guys, I'm pleased with the way the cars coming along. I will have to cool things for a while as funds are running abit low. But overall I'm pleased with the car, the way it performs and the engine in general. But the sound these things makes, you just can't replicate it man! Next stop a supercharger but don't tell the girlfriend cos she's wanting a holiday

geez that is a tight engine bay, way to squeez the 1mz in

i really like your coloring and body styling also dude

Looks sweeet. How on earth do you service the engine? Changing your rear sparky's would be a nightmare with so little space!

Well Done

Hey man I'm sorry if I double posted. But thanks for the kind words. There is in fact more space in the engine bay than with the old 3s-ge engine in. There is no cutting involved the engine just seems so at home in there. I'm trying to keep the stying subtle.

You, my friend, are SLICK!

UK_MRV6 · 02-23-2005, 05:13 PM

The spark plugs were changed prior to the conversion and I'm hoping there is enough space to change em. The beta quadrant thats one drive home

This makes me want an MR2 even more.

***EKam*** · 02-23-2005, 05:46 PM

Looks dangerous with the 18s.

People will say something stupid like... "The car won't move with those 18s and a 4-cyl engine."
