MK2 V6 ......£2750

[foxy-stoat]

arrr, the top mounts are knocking...thats it. I may get them done, but dont want to spend time and money on it when theres little interest.

It had new drop links a few months ago, so i know its not them.

[magic_alex]

The front suspension stuff could be putting ppl off in some respects (though it is reflected in the price). As it could be a combination of drop links/springs/bushes/shocks...

possibly. i stuck my highest bid in of £2500 just on the off chance (no offence intended Foxy) Although im in no doubt its a great car it obviously needs attention and id be reluctanct to spend much more than that as a result. Maybe im wrong im by no means the authority on car buying. Although it would be much much more convenient for me to buy a car thats already has a v6 conversion done id rather not buy one & then have to sort out the niggling things that might need fixing. i dont mind doing them but one of the reasons im on the look out for a new two is that im a bit naffed off with fixing niggling issues in the first place.

hope you find a buyer soon though mate im sure theres the right person out there for the car its just a case of waiting for them to come along.

Aye and we both know about those ey Alex! Lol! Forgot u were looking at the V6 shindig... Fancy going splits, keep it every other wkend?!

[foxy-stoat]

Know about the niggles and such like.

Tempting to sort the front shocks out now, my mate owns his garage with a ramp and its so much easier to change suspension bits than on the drive way.

So its just the bodywork bits that, if your fussy, will need doing but if your like me and dont want a 110% bodywork perfect car...its all good.

So......................best offers with new top mounts.............. ANYONE ???

my god if i had 3k i'd rip your arm off, i'm despeate for one of these v6 conversions, i killed both my mr2 turbos with too much boost! don't suppose you fancy a 94l red stage 2 s13 in part ex?

[foxy-stoat]

sorry dude....i need the stirlings !

doh

[foxy-stoat]

£2800....................anyone???

[Tiamat]

Wayne, whats the MPG of it?
My dad is looking at MR2s and liked the sound of yours - he likes the V6 noise.
Just he does quite a few miles so was wondering about the MPG return.

[foxy-stoat]

Well.....When you have words like DAD mixed in with MPG in the same sentence, the mileage WILL always be better than mine !!

The best i have got on a full tank is just under 290 miles...worse was 240 ish ( and that was vert spirited driving on a IMOC meet !!! )

The best i got out of the old 3SGE was 365 miles with just under 1/4 in the tank ( driving up to Durham @ 70mph tho.

He is welcome to have a look round and a play anytime ( when its dry !! ).

0-60 is, i would say, the same if not quicker than a turbo

thats not right is it? i've read on here before about them been slower than a standard turbo

how much do the v6 conversions cost?

[70by]

£2500, its a t bar for £300

Its only my opinon, i have had 2.0 n/a, rev1 turbo and now v6.

There has been footage that a v6 is quicker on 1/4 side by side and they have been tried side by side too on a normal road too.

anyway, back to my thread....

The conversions cost upto £2500, depending on if you supply a v6 engine or not and Rogue charge more than that, so i believe.

[iblis]

I cannot believe nobody has bought this yet!!!

[luthor1]

With 186 flywheel BHP, and a stock rev1 coming out at 200bhp or so, I'd wager it would be extremely close given the V6 would be quicker between gears due to no lag, but as soon as you start taking cats off, upping boost a bit then the turbo would be quicker. Stock though, it's be pretty tight!

Free bump by the way!! Would get it as a novelty if I had the cash lying around!

[foxy-stoat]

I agree...V6 is slower if put up side by side against a modded turbo.

Its not all about the BHP figures on a dyno sheet...its more the torque and the way it puts the power down.

[foxy-stoat]

What about part exchanging for a rev1/2 n/a ? Cash my way of course !

[magic_alex]

could part ex with my rev5???

[foxy-stoat]

HA !

I need the dollars....so a rev1 or 2 for around £1000 would be best matey !

[magic_alex]

yeah very true - not thinking straight, its been a long day/week!

[foxy-stoat]

So, 3 weeks on here and OC and autotrader and twice on ebay and not 1 person came round to look at it?!...i feel this isn't perfect enough for the money i was asking?

Will be taking this off the market, and swopping the exhuast for a standard turbo one, removing the number plate ( back on a L reg ), replacing the shocks with rev3 items ( sorting the slight knocking ), getting another bumper poss rev3 and sorting the rust around the roof areas and replacing the t-bar seals.....and try again, prob ask moneys depending on the total cost of the works ).
