rev 2 na tintop track day. Going v6

Post by ads »

Latest purchase photos up on retrorides. Rev 2 tintop with partially stripped interior and fitted with knackered Rev 3 n/a. Was thinking of replacing for another 3sge but constantly lured by the creamy wail of v6

Very solid shell with no evidence of any welding, needs new osf wing and nose cone.

Engine now ready to drop out and today I made the decision to go v6 1mz

Taking my time prepping the car first and looking for conversion parts . Staying with n/a box so looking for modified flywheel/engine mount etc if anyone has anything lying about?

Thinking I'll probably sell the wheels at some point

Primarily a lightened road car for mountain B road fun

Nice! Although isn't the 3mz crap in comparison to the 1mz?

Is that 3vz you're thinking of? It's a bit heavier but simpler to install and stronger than 1mz. 1mz is just more readily available

Ohhhh maybe. I was speaking to another member about the V6 swap today, would be interested to see the total cost to do it.

Sounds good. Keep us updated.

Have you done this sort of engine swap before?

Had a complete change of heart . Now up on eBay

I've had to be honest with myself as I need to focus on work for the next few years and my existing cars deserve more of my attention
