How do chaps,

I currently run a Se7en Motorsports Rotrex'd Celica, but after a small bump to the front end & starting to anchor after something RWD   s:D :D s:D  I'm thinking of putting together plans to drop my engine & 'box into a Roadster  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  

Sooo, I'm on the lookout for either a well sorted '2 or something untouched which I can make my own, either way I preferably want one with a hard top. I'm based between West/North Yorkshire, so if there are any members from around that area who have anything or know of anything for sale, let me know.

Cheers
Joe

Its not as easy as putting the 2zz n.a. engine in the Roadster but it is awesome when its done. You do realise you have to cut a hole in the rear bulkhead for clearance for the supercharger.

Cheers for the info. I wont be touching that side of things though, everything will go to the legend that is Se7en   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  

The only things I'll do myself, will be to uprate the ARBs, susp, bracing, brakes & fit the max amount of rubber I can get away with. Need some kit ideas aswell   s:D :D s:D

Getting the car tomorrow, silver preface with hardtop. Let's...play...darts!

What's the maximum width wheel I can get away with on the rear with coilies chaps?

I'll get signed up properly & convert this into a progress thread.

Ask Rich (Rbuckingham) He runs some of the biggest wheels i've seen on a 2 and has Tein coilovers fitted.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Delivered today & not in bad fettle for the money. I'm going to put a deposit down for some meisters tomorrow & in the meantime, start looking for some wheels. Anyway, pics...

Got better pictures of the seats?
They don't look stock.

They appear to be OEM but I'll get better pics tomorrow.

Out of interest, does anybody know if the later models have stronger driveshafts?

Look standard to me. Pre facelift though

They just look a bit fluffy to me probably just going madder.

Depends on arch exstension or not as I'm on a 9j rim with 35 offset and it on the edge of both arch and strut.

There is a story but I'm not telling.
