Lee is a good bet, since his is already turbo'd. MattPerformance is also a good point of contact, here on the forum.

thanks again , I had a chat to Patrick on here about doing the build for me , so that bit sorted ,

just about acquiring parts now , seems you never stop spending money on these damn cars ...................

You're saying that to someone who's about to finish a 2zz swap and then do a K swap on another one   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

[paul.mcgrath]

K20 swap ? That interests me ......

Would be very interested in that swap if you offered it ?

I'm only an amateur enthousiast, not a pro mechanic. I can offer my knowledge through experience in a separate build thread. Work starts end of year. Stay tuned  s:) s:)

Best of luck with your build , I will keep an eye on it

Nearly finished...

Hi Paul, where did you get that widebody kit from? I can only source widebody gt300  from the states....
Cheers Otto

[paul.mcgrath]

Hi Otto , was lucky here around Christmas that I found it on eBay second hand still was a £1000 , took a long time fitting and still not a perfect fit , needs some more adjusting be will get it right in time , is it the duraflex kit you've been looking at ? Seems a good price against the luxury part kit with delivery , our new affiliate megillian Motorsport are saying they may supply a widebody kit maybe worth getting in touch with them

Cheers Paul

I'm not so much interested in the wide, so much as the aero benefits and some air flow increase for cooling and CAI. Needs some more thought, more on the mechanical bits for back end of this year, brakes, suspension and aero will go onto the next.

Yes I have been in touch with them on Messenger about braces etc.. Interesting to hear they may do a widebody.
I need one to get the extra wide rear Audi track to fit without messing about with toyota hubs. The Audi transmission driveshaft etc is just a little too wide for the mr2 standard bodywork.

I have R8 alloys with the monocraft kit Meister coilovers , not lowered yet , but the handling/grip is unbelievable

Thanks again ,

bit of inspiration colour wise from torro Rosso F1 with the silver and blue

Didn't get finished today in the end , more paint needed I've been told , more pics will follow but really happy how its looking so far  

Think we'll keep it standard rear wing wise .....but then you never know ........

Not the biggest fan of bodykits on our 2`s   s:( s:(  

But when it`s done right   s:bowdown: :bowdown: s:bowdown:  

Not a big fan of the BGW look either   s:( s:(  

But this kit screams out for it   s:D s:D  



Awesome work.
