[Mk2] [Turbo] Dilemma

[lehem]

In two minds whether to do a V6 conversion on our MR2 or sell it as it is and V6 a standard MR2 on the cheap.

Or not bother at and sell our MR2 and the camry and not have the problem of deciding.

I really fancy hearing the noise a six banger will make but unsure it will be money well spent.

We just need some convincing. HELP!

Is any of the money we pour into our cars ever 'money well spent'?!

Why not write down a realistic budget of the total costs, compare that with the state of your finances and see if you can justify it?

Maybe try and get a test drive in a V6 before you decide so you know what to expect? If you were going to get Woodsport to do the conversion I believe they have a demo car.

If you can't afford it then don't do it otherwise it will just become a burden and you will resent it.

The test drive sounds like a great idea. Anyone in Cornwall mind taking me out?

We're off to our mechanic in a bit to pick ours up from having some archwork, no doubt he will try to convince us to V6 ours.

I would definitely want a test drive before committing to such a financial outlay.

not to mention it completely changes the charicteristics of the car ie lighting up the rear tyres at 2.5k very easily in the dry Get a test drive

profile shows you've got a tubby - why change to a v6 ?

is your engine dead or something ? would probably still be cheaper to get a rebuild than a transplant.

Tubby engine is great, no problems at all. But a V6, in a two has gotta be done, hasnt it?

I was hoping to sell the tubby engine to help fund the conversion if we went ahead with it.
