-----------------------------------------------------Click here for MR2 Mania Website- Nobles used them on the M12 and they used to crack alot. I have already ordered a set of JE's 86mm from Fensport - same as Adrian is running on the Corolla - hopefully they should last a while

Do you think you will be ready for the trackday, or is it too early to tell? Tom
.. Michael, what is deadline for getting a time in and forms etc.?- some studs that can't be got hold of that have to be hand made 
..plus a few new trick parts! The good thing is it will already be run in so as soon as it's in we're good to go. Hopefully power figures soon.... mine supposed to be at Thor on the 25th of June. Still got no engine in it haha- they're not big and they're not clever! (Thick walled - Thank The Lord!) and the engine is going back together as we speak. I am waiting for my new Tiliton clutch from the states which isnt due till the 20th though, so it wont go back in the car until then. Realistically I should be run-in and mapped by the end of the month. That gives me a few weeks to arrange a track day and get some practice in .. 
- they're not big and they're not clever! ...I am not suspecting to make it now. Despite throwing money at this for 10 months and ringing people up and geeing them along and booking stuff early I can't see it being ready in time. Partly because of various issues cropping up, and partly due to one or two direction changes. Unless there is a miracle of industriousness in the next 3 weeks I've had it. I can hardly believe it - I suspect people just don't get on with the big jobs when there are lots of little paying jobs going on. 8 months to build an engine? Seems excessive, can't complain too much though as nobody else even wanted to take it on. 
Know you've been doing everything to get the car up and running. Hey, theres always next year. No point rushing something to have issues pop up later on. Just waiting for digital scales believe it or not ... lol. May even be at the weekend as I've locked JJ in the garage to fix it - they're not big and they're not clever! ..I guess I could rush it but after all the money I've spent rushing the last (and potentially most important) bits seems a bit daft just to get into a competition. I certainly don't want to be rebuilding that engine after what it's cost! Literally I've been offering people money on top of money (and have paid out £7.5K since Feb!!!) to get it all done! You just can't pay enough it seems! - now at Millways getting it's bodywork redone It's got a beautifully engineered front scoop now, I am so impressed with the work Gartrac did. Even Millways whom I booked some time ago think it will take until mid-July just for the bodywork though 
So that would give me two weeks to fit the engine, organise the chargecooling (which can't be done until the engine is in), and make sure it's running 100%. It just ain't going to happen..... sounds like a lot to do!!.... do we need a new TOTB thread for people who want to / think they can enter. I'll know more after the weekend about my situation.... not seen him on here for ages? 
- they're not big and they're not clever! .... well why not. The chargecooler seems to perform very well!- they're not big and they're not clever! '2 in the end? You were thinking of a s2000 I while ago...... keeping the 2. Couldnt afford an S2000 and what i could afford I dont want lol- they're not big and they're not clever! tonigmr2 wrote:I should add the chargecooler thing is because I am thinking of getting Dino to sort it for me after seeing his peice of kit my head was turned
