the new2 ran on carb cleaner, fuel pump is crap, pass window is broken, trans is hurt, banged up, etc. but its a t-top car :) Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, I see alot of northstar swaps, I was thinking a continental 4.6 (basicly a Mustang Mach 1 engine in FWD format) swap with twin turbos would be cool, just an idea I'm kicking around.

The current ride with remnants of my failed attempt at a air extractor hood runs pretty well VVT solenoid took a shit, so it could do better.

'Stang wiped out a distributor gear (towed home friday), gotta install a new one tomorrow and it'll be back to its usual handing out of beatdowns, even though its hurt.

Title: Re: I bought another MR2 yesterday
Post by: Conceptz-X on March 22, 2009, 08:43:11 PM: the mid engine is something to get used to, with the silvertop, it pushes the front wheels bad if your hard on the gas in a corner

Post by: Conceptz-X on March 22, 2009, 09:40:52 PM: yea, for now. I put the WG on to seal up the port. The turbo is in the works, just havent had the money to get together my water to air intercooler setup. I have a garrett VGT for it when I get that all. Damn mustang had been eatin my lunch lately, between gas, spoiler mount broke, dist geat, and other misc. shit, I have been broke.

Yeah my Aw11 is subject to alot of electrical issues at the moment. I think its seen its day, as the damn thing has been wrecked lord knows how many times. The car was red, but the hood was blue, and both doors were purple so who knows.

Post by: Conceptz-X on March 23, 2009, 09:31:17 PM: I need to start working on the body and see what a bitch its going to be. Then, I'll worry about drivetrain, I know the engine runs. Think the dude I got it from pinched the fuel pump wire as it dosent work and there is a fuse that keeps blowing. He said he replaced it. I mainly got it for the wife to drive so we can keep some miles off the 'stang, not to mention it would save alot of fuel. From what I have seen my wiring looks ok, not all hacked up too bad. I sold all my 16V shit, so I don't really have too many engine parts anymore. Guess, I'll work on it on the weekends and when I can, unless I come across a straight car needing an engine or something.

Should have started my offer at 100, oh well, its just money, I can make more (to some extent)
Title: Re: I bought another MR2 yesterday
Post by: AstroVannin on March 24, 2009, 11:54:50 AM: Its ROUGH, but still for $150, you cant miss.

You can get shit all for that money here in Ontario anymore.... Well, I get free cars from time to time... but no MR2's.
Title: Re: I bought another MR2 yesterday
Post by: LS1pwNzJ00 on March 24, 2009, 12:21:26 PM: i would have offered 100, drove it to the middle of nowhere, and riddled it with bullets.

perfect! sell the entire powertrain, cut out the rear firewall and put a turbo v6 in it! That way you never get traction with its short wheel base and inability to control weight transfer, and will most likely kill yourself when you lose control of the car at highway speeds.

Fixed it for you.

Post by: Conceptz-X on March 26, 2009, 06:46:22 PM: Actually, I was thinking of something more along the lines of a 2000 Lincoln Continental 4.6 swap. Don't know yet, just something I'm kicking around. cuz its basicly the same 4.6 in the mustang and there are all kinds of aftermarket parts for them.
