mr woods sir, where the heck do you live? if its close enough, i might make a holy crusade to see mr8 in action haha!

Paul Woods · 12-02-2009, 02:49 AM

All the way across the pond i'm afraid.... durham UK, the centre of the Mr2 universe

traintech86 · 12-02-2009, 04:05 AM

thats not to far, a weekend drive for me right lmao. pitty, well ill have to enjoy the videos when i get home then!

Paul Woods · 12-02-2009, 01:46 PM

Well my 50mm thick aluminium rad upgrade solution arrived today... hopefully this will cope with whatever the V8 can throw at it...

Here it is fitted, still got top brackets to make...

All of my standard steel radiator pipework has been ripped out and much larger diameter aluminium pipes run from front to rear, so no part of the stock aw11 cooling system remains now.... well it's an MR8 now isn't it!

STLMR2na · 12-02-2009, 02:02 PM

WOW!!!! < for video

thats about the same size as the radiator in my dads 4.7l v8, hope that works for you

I think he is refering to MRB8
as a reference to "masterbate" MR B8?

Am i right?

Paul Woods · 12-04-2009, 01:16 PM

oh...... right, good one.... i think....

We had problems finding a laptop crappy enough to have a serial port on it, in the end we dragged the office PC out and hooked that up to the VEMS, anyway i will let the video do the talking, the noise this thing makes is the most evil thing i have ever heard...

i would use an oxymoron to describe it as "wickedly wonderful". hope this project makes into the print world as well as the electronic media.

you rock and this ride rocks!!!

Paul Woods · 12-07-2009, 02:22 AM

Thanks! still a long way to go but the day it drives is getting ever closer.

Paul Woods · 12-09-2009, 02:11 PM

I have started to weld in the chassis bracing, strength is my number one priority regardless of weight on this build.This engine revs so violently i'm not going to take any chances.

ambershelton1991 · 12-09-2009, 02:32 PM

This car is AMAZING.
We all need to take a shot in its honor haha

scottohno · 12-15-2009, 01:25 AM

hmmm. so its basically a hayabusa go kart now, just 1.5x as big? lol. prolly twice as fast too.

Paul Woods · 12-15-2009, 02:05 AM

I'd say it's more like an MC8R due to engine layout and chassis, except it's a mk1

328FTW · 12-15-2009, 03:04 AM

I'd say it's just badass /discussion

scottohno · 12-15-2009, 03:07 AM

so what kinda tires you gonna run paul? i assume not the stock 185/60/14s

sumthin a bit wider and really sticky... ya know, enough to get this thing to at least move without too much wen its dry out at least...
