Re: v6

As much as I like the awesome sound of a v, when I look at the mr2 it just doesn't suit a v sound for me. It's a small Japanese sports car and to me the look of the car would be more suited to winding up a turbo and a dump valve, especially when they have the kits on. I suppose a bit "fast and furious "
It's just my opinion but for me that's the sound that matches the looks.

As you say each to there own.
A 4 pot soundtrack doesn't really do it for me.
Unless your talking something honda revving itself to death.
Thats not a cheap engine swap either.
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.

New wheels
Rota gtr 17x7.5 et35

The tyres need the soap cleaning off, the car needs cleaning but you get the idea.

I'm not actually a big fan of the bumper but I think the wheels, together with the bumper and the soon to be fitted skirts and rear will look pretty good.

And of course it's the best colour, none of this silver or yellow malarkey  s;) ;) s;)

I have been really bored waiting for the rest of the bodykit to come.....

So spent my day aimlessly looking at pointless things on the net, ended up buying one of these off fleabay for a good price.

Something else to impatiently wait for!,,

It was already on the car, I took all of the badges off except that one.. It's the UK name instead of spyder.

Haha, turbo will definitely be later.. changing my everyday car in the next couple of weeks (poor thing has done 180k getting a bit tired probably from my neglect) ,so funds will be gone for a while.    s:( :( s:(

Little update....

Fitted a low profile sub woofer thingy today behind the passenger seat, didn't want to lose any storage space... Surprisingly sounds really good!

Rest of the bodykit is due mid next week so hopefully next weekend will be starting to paint and fit..

Ordered some more goodies today
3 gauges.. Oil pressure,oil temp and boost (optimistic I know, as I haven't got a turbo yet but wanted them matching!)
Gauge pod for dash
Oil sandwich thing for gauges
Plasma dash lights kit
Heating control plasma lights kit

My mate with the tvr booked our cars in for the faversham street show if anyone in Kent is going... Whenever it is( I can't remember)

Mmmm busy times ahead!

Have you got a little write up of the sub woofer? I.e make and where exactly you put it? So it didn't take up space?
