My "NightHawk" AE101 SC conversion:

Glad you like it! 8) There's a poxy 1.0 litre silver Yaris in its place now (not mine: the son's! :pale: ), until I get something else..... :roll: Gratitude...? :whistle: :wink: \:D/ I'm having pangs of regret currently...... ...but thats life! :? I know that once I get another car (as long as its n...

Yes...but KITT had a gloss finish..!

My inspiration was F117 / 222D.......

Satin all the way: matt black marks if someone rubs their finger across it.....! :? Yeh.....I did my entire Mk1 with rattle cans! :lol: Surprisingly, the project name was "Nighthawk".....! :lol: Started with the drivers door, then the bonnet / engine cover, then went round, a panel at a ti...

...so, if you also consider Pauls comment...erm...we're "cooking on gas", then..?!

Ruined...!

And is it supercharged, then....!?

£4k...!?!? They're havin' a larf..!

I'd go with Monocraft, too.....!

Veilside Fortune kit looks well suited, but has that "I wanna be a Porsche Boxster"- look to it....?!

Most annoying part is he's not even consistent...!

Not bad...but the Subaru will be better, will it not....?

Begging the question: why?

:lol: Concepts....don't you just love 'em..? :whistle: It certainly looks like the "fun" element of the MR2 has gone forever? Mr.T seems to be geared more towards the "GT" side of things......? :? MR2 is not a tourer (the Mk2 being a mistake, really! :whistle: ): its key feature ...

yeh..I'd go with the vinyl, too.... Car is TOO nice to paint..! :thumleft: I did my Mk1 in Satin Black (a la F-117 "Nighthawk"), painted, and it DID look great.... ...however, it had rubbish paint beforehand, and I did loads of bodywork restoration, so I had nothing to lose...... ....UNLIK...

Cmon guys (and gals! :wink: )..! This is a no brainer! Take a Mk3, restyle some body panels, replace the (woeful) 1ZZ with a load of batteries, fit the motors, KERS system, etc.... eh voila! A decent MR2 replacement, zero emissions, STILL decent weight distribution and could still be fun.....? Oh..o...

Greglebon, there are so many ways that you can legally lower your insurance costs. This is something that the insurance companies wont ever tell you. That may well be so: but bear in mind that for the other quotes I got for the other cars, my details were exactly the same as the ones that AF use fo...

From MY past experience i found Adrian Flux is over rated and expensive. Where would you go instead, then? Was that with a modded car? I'm sure that there is some sort of cartel-thing going on within the relatively small group of insurance companies that WILL insure my car...?! :-k I mean, I can in...

If they're virtually the same price, its a no brainer, really...? :wink: Unless you're prepared to take the risk, that is.....? :whistle: If you can get the non-oval-bore 1ZZ, then that would be my choice, given the circumstances.... If the pre was £1k less than the post, and you prefer the look, th...

Looks like it.....!

If no-one reckons that its worth less than the cost of the conversion alone ( ) , then I might just have to enjoy the car myself.....

Summers on the way....!

Genuine thinking-about-it's: You've missed your window...!!

Dreamers: Dream On!

Yes..
Sounds like it could be diode / regulator-related, if its not "loose-belt-syndrome".....!?

Sure did....!

Wish I still had it, in many ways.......

I'll probably do a "Nighthawk" job on my next (yet-to-be-specified! ) car.....

I already have suitable paint...!



...I will take a tape measure with me, if its there this year...
