Black 2002 and 2001 MR2 - Tommy Zooms / Hachiroku track car build

[1979scotte]

Thanks for the run out lads and the opportunity to drive both your cars.
The handling of your 1zz car is far above anything else I've driven.
Was epic and I'm sure @puma2 enjoyed it as well.

My favourite cars of ding day
"Twinning" keep flying the mr2 flag on those track days as you lap many other cars

Thanks for the kind words lads, was a pleasure as always.

Cheers tommy

  i have to say to just jump in and be a passenger for a sort outing i was well impressed with the way it handled with Scott telling what it feels like and his  face of  enthusiasm said it all.( a very happy Scott)

so less power more handling  mods and tyres is the future      of happiness

keep up the good work and lets us no when out your out on the track

Love both of the cars and they look even better as a matching pair. I'm just starting a build on a 2ZZ track car and was looking at the 15*8 RPF1s. I can see you've had to roll your arches which I don't mind doing but wondered how much camber you were running? I'll end up with an aggressive geometry and I'm hoping you have less camber than I'm planning so I'll end up with more clearance at the arch as i'd ideally like to run 225/45s.

HI Ste

Thanks for the nice comments, we run 3 degrees all round for camber.

with 3 degrees of camber or more and some arch rolling you'll get them to fit no problem.

I've ran less offset on another set of wheels (16x8 et20) and 225 tyres on the rear and they still clear no bother.

No more sports cars for Scott.
Estates or MPVs need room for 100kg of dogs.

HI Mate

well chassis wise they are almost the same now, apart from the the 2zz has a upgraded front roll bar as well as a rear, on the 1zz we run an upgraded roll bar on the rear and stock on the front as per (Techno pro spirit) recommendation, so we thought we would do a direct comparison, and the 2zz with the front roll bar makes it understeer at the limit, so that is coming off.it just isn't as sweet to drive and its not quite as on the nose as the 1zz.

In a straight line they are identical

so it pretty much a dead heat once the 2zz is sorted

cheers tommy

[Topdownman]

Good to hear that they are both winners!

[puma2]

  keep up the good work and fun and love you can both compare your 2s and the mods

Hi All

Hope you all had a good ding day gutted to of missed it for the first time in many years.

We had a Nürburgring trip planned, what a place went for a track day and fell in love with the place its like Disney land for petrol heads. The atmosphere the surrounding area and roads, want to go back already.

We had quite a run up to the trip, the 2zz car dropped an valve at oulton park and destroyed its engine, the inlet cam lobs were extremely worn as well, so a new one was sourced and put in, we were also rushing to finish the build of my friends mr2(the blue one) got it all done and all the cars made it there and back no problem, gotta love these mr2s.


Stopped at caffine and machine on the way down
