johnny g Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Dont you think your going to get enough power from the one you have in there I'm more of a believer of keeping things in-house Paul Woods is doing the V8 in his Mk1 though.

johnny g Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 why are you using the green HKS mushroom filter? Fantastic build. I would personally change the HKS filter but that's about it. It's the only one that will fit there really chaps. I would change it, eventually, but unfortunately, there's not a huge choice in terms of size vs flow. Is it just me or is anyone else trying to say 'It can't be done' in his unique accent Great project Johhny. Can't wait to see this in real life. I love the fabrication work that's been done. Top marks Yep, all credit to Paul for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 The car was extensively damaged today folks, to the point of writing it off. The throttle stuck open in 3rd gear, propelling me and Ryan into a hedge at approximately 60mph. RIP MR2 V6 Turbo. Be careful out there people.

I'd not say so mate - it's extensively damaged. Not sure I want it back to be honest. Am thinking that's me and modified cars done with (for now, caveat).

hodge Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Johnny I've just seen this build thread and am totally astounded by the quality of pauls work. I was going to p.m you after I finished reading it. OMG I got to the last page and had to read it twice. Mate I'm gutted for you I really am, as I know how long this thing took to build. As said before I'm pleased you and Ryan are ok but totally devistated for you about the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
