MAG engines. They're on eBay and have their own site. It's from dubai. If I'm honest, I'm still a bit sceptical. We'll see how it pans out.

They buy engines from Japan and re-condition them. They're reputable sellers from what I know, so you should be ok. If it's of any comfort, I'm running an oil pump and water pump from them, genuine Toyota bits  s:D :D s:D

Are you going to put in a water pump from an Elise this time rather than the Celtics/Corolla? I believe there is a difference...

Even if there is, it won't make much difference. A good radiator (if you can get a Mishimoto even better), new thermostat and the pink Toyota coolant is all you need  s:D :D s:D

Agreed to let Andy at Bonsai rip out the Air Con today. It's never worked. So I guess it's a track car now?

Should be back on the road by the end of the month.

What weight saving is that do you think?
Always intended to do it on the silver.
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.

It's another 20Kg all in I think, Rad, Condenser, and compressor + pipes. And of course marginally less accessory drag. I quite liked my 'Set idle to 1,500rpm' button! Wonder if it will still work?!

On the V6 the light still comes on but no one's at home there ain't no AC there.

Not for a couple of weeks sadly, but there's a few other jobs being sorted in the meantime.

Exciting!

So glad you repaired it and it should be better than ever now eh?

I guess you have to run it in?

It has been shaken down and test driven, so I'm pretty confident, but yes, it will need running in so I will be taking it easy. I'll take Andy's advice on what's best.
