They are about mate i had a mk2 a good few years ago was a brilliant car :) not many mk1s about neither the mk2 for that matter ( they look very similar but the mk2 has wider arches because Lotus did the suspension i beleive )

I have a mint MK2 :) 1985 so one of the last ones (facelift). Im getting ready to put a 1UZ V8 into it. Should be an easy 300bhp in a car that will weigh under 1200kgs ;) heh heh

 

Sounds like an interesting project, should be fun :) Is that your "new" project? Thought you were going for a mk3?

:D You know me mate, i have started so many projects hehe ;)

 

But this one is actually 'going' to happen now that i've finally sold that Lotus Esprit hehe.

 

Got most of the drivetrain for the V8 laid out in my garage, just waiting on things to come over from OZ like the bellhousing and the flywheel.

 

Forgot to mention the Nitros oxide system going in as well :D

 

I must have a death wish lol :D :innocent:

A mk2 should of been my first Supra. I was 20, an put a deposit on a B reg black an gold wide arched model, it was stunning. I got a phone call to say that another guy at the garage didn't know it was sold, an let someone else buy it !, git. I was well pissed off, even though I got my deposit back. I bought a mk3 turbo about a year later. Still like the black an gold mk2.

Sure thing, the build will start within the next 4 weeks.

 

Im going to setup a webpage with progress & pics. To be honest though i have done so much research into this conversion....im expecting it to take a weekend to swap the lumps and then only around 2 weeks to get the wiring and other little bits done :D

 

All i've got left to find is a suppliers for carbon fibre driveshafts...
