Hi All!!! Newbie from UK

Hi all,

Mods, posted this in off topic also - please delete that one thanks (my bad)

I'm Daniel from the south east corner of England and have had a love affair with MR2's since.... probably puberty!!!!! Finally got to drive a UK rev2 GE about 10 years ago now. I only began MR2 ownership though in Feb of 06. Bought a turbo needing a fair bit of work for £800 which is still being rebuilt.

Engine currently looks something like this....

But to get me in training for turbo RWD power i bought a 1993 3SGE in January this year. After about 3 months and a weekend MR2OC trip to France looming i decided to do something to it!
.... and V6'd it!!!

It has a custom made y-pipe by myself

and is soon to be fitted up with a Link G3 ECU and TRD Scion Vortech Supercharger.

Exterior shot....

Soon to have GReddy lip, lowered 20mm more on the HSD coilovers and Rev5 carbon wing

Hope you like

thanks Tycoon!

they're 16" Enkei 2 piece split rims. Originally were absolutely wrecked when i bought them off a car being parted out for £80

Stripped the powder coat of the rim and mirror polished. Had the centre's re-powder coated locally.

I did not want to go to 17" rims on the coilovers as i think it would make the suspension too harsh - although i have a set of 17s and 18s i could try if need be.

Besides, you get the little 6-11 year old kids "WOW"ing at the wheels which puts a smile on my face (and my son loves them too!

)

It's actually one of my welder guys' calendars. He's got a classic collection dating back to about 1992
