Thankyou

Hi Ken, I had this dilemma when I was building mine as I had an e153 and wasn't sure whether to install it. The reason I went with the ep3 gearbox was because of the cost. I think the hux racing adapter was about £1500 and I sold my e153 for £1500 with shafts and shifter cables so that was 3k saved from using the ep3 box. My fried Dan's one broke at 650 bhp. It was a 4th gear pull that killed his

I kept it a few months and did everything to.make it a good looking car but I just didn't click with it so I ended up buying another mr2 Flick to about 10.30 in this video and you'll see it finished kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZO0l2OYYraohLcsi=a_0bXArU0_iSKSZB

If you check my other videos there is one breaking down all the costs and the parts I used 👍

That's fine Luke, drop me a pm on Insatgram under the same username and I can give you his details. Failing that speak to Dan or Lewis at Midlands mr2 as they do the conversions and can do it for you.

Hi mate I used any double skin section. Just make sure your screws aren't too long so.they don't pierce the outside

@@G9RGE ok thanks

Cheers Luke, yes you can drop it into any mr2 chassis. TOYONDA and Hux Racing sell offnthe shelf mounts

I had no issues with mine at all at that mileage and the compression was strong and equal. It had good service history so that's what gave me confidence

I know 🤣 but to be fair I was expecting it to take longer

Have a watch of this video, around 1:05 it shows a few pics. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnmtq5eeicmekK8si=1ps19KJ6gbvWbTSS It involved alot of cutting and alot of gluing but wasn't too hard

@@G9RGEhave you any pictures of the wiring how it plugged in to the loom or did you use wiring from a civic? Also did you use the original starter wire from the mr2 that’s been bugging me can’t find much info on it 😂😊 thanks for the reply

@naythancampbell2019 so I bought a civic cluster with pigtails so I had all the wires. I the. Found a wiring schematic for my dash and joined them all up. The only thing that didn't work was the temp sensor but I was running a Hondata ecu so had that info on a tab i had in the dash. With regards to the wiring a good friend of mine runs Midlands mr2s and can help you with the loom wiring. I paid and got mine done to save time

@@G9RGEthank you a lot mate for your time, I have subscribed 😊

Thankyou, yes it defiantly made you feel alive when driving it

Hi Paul, I'm in Bournemouth

Thankyou, appreciate the feed back

I prefer the blitz on a stock tt supra but when I went big single it was too loud and droney and the Super silent sounded loads better

@@G9RGEthank you for the advice 👍

Thankyou, no I just build my own bits

Unfortunately not, I sold it in June

@@G9RGE that's sad, I've seen that the chap who owns it is already thinking of selling, mind if I ask you a few questions over a PM?

@UnhallowedDrummer of course might be easier to dm me on Instagram. Same username G9RGE

Appreciate that mate thankyou 👍

Unfortunately, we haven't progressed any further but we are hoping to get a day on it over the Xmas break

Can't agree more, I have had 7 now and wish I had driven one earlier as like you say its one of the best cars I have driven.

Thankyou ☺️

Yes it's a sound I really miss

I’ve always wanted to go out in a TVR I live in kent take me for a drive and I’ll show you a jag V12 8L he bored it out himself

Thankyou ☺️

My friend had ordered from Toyonda before and got me a good discount so I went with then

Yeah they are quite addictive aren't they 😀

@@G9RGE I love mine. When the boost kicks in it gets me every time. I still don’t think you can get a better car for the money they are atm. Got to be the best bang for buck car

Watch the first video mate, alot about the car in it. We have just both been busy since this video and haven't had a chance ro fit the new pump an dtry it. If it runs we will clean it up and get it in ebay

No it's my Cousins

Very bad is the honest answer and was the question I was forever asking Kswappers i knew. I had medium engine mounts and put sound deadening under the carpet on the firewall and the problem was still there. Anything above 65mph on a long run become deafening. I was planning on getting a longer final gear ratio to make it more bearable but have since sold the car so no need now.

@@G9RGE oh no you sold it! Well I understand…I’m gonna try a few more things to try and improve the NVH because I’m really not digging it right now. Thanks for the reply because at least I know now it’s a somewhat normal thing.

@@G9RGE was this the reason you sold the k swapped mr2?

No not solely, there were a few reasons. We were planning to move house and freeing up.the money from the mr2 was needed ( this has all.fallen through now, hence buying another). The car just always wanted to go fast and I really like my licence And then the noise, ok for local journeys but not for long

Maybe, the reg went on 20 years ago around the same time the guy that did the build bought it so not sure where it came from

The plate went in in 2003 so not quite sure but it's been built really well and is an interesting car

I used 18mm

@@G9RGE thank you. I am getting ready to build for me my van

@skopjemk I have had 18mm in my van for 5 years now and it's still structurally sound and I haven't had any issues although I plan to to redo it to accommodate all the new tools I have

@@G9RGE I have large Sprinter van and was thinking how to do it.

Thankyou. I have just painted all the dash bits that were silver. Going to get some paint mixed up this week to paint the silver bodywork

Thankyou for your message, sorry for the delay on the next video we have both had lots on and not managed to touch the Tuscan since the last video but hope to get back on it again soon. Yes Red light was off but i think the pump has just given up the ghost so we have a new one ready to fit. Yes I used to be on Pistonheads back when i had my Cerbera, Mike isn't really inter the internet forum side of things.
