Apologies Mike
 
I am seldom on the MR2 site. Will give you a call

Thanks Ben, Great talking to you.  Thanks for all the info you provided, I now have some serious decisions to make.
I was hoping to use a Rev 3 / 4  3sgte engine, now I will attempt to find a late model (post 2001) caldina engine etc.
 
As discussed, please give this post an update when you have a chance, a lot of people would love to see your progress - especially now your K1 has a fresh paint job : -) 

Definetly like to see more pics....

Well.... Mikey, I should probably mention this to you then.
Despite the 'only this week' in the ad, the guy still has a full rolling shell, wheels, and gen 5 engine/gearbox. as of January 17th he wanted to get rid of the whole car for $2k.
I think there just isn't enough of a market for wrecked ST246s here yet.
I was tossing up whether to use it in mine, but it's a bit of overkill given that I only need a gen 2 head.

Thanks mate, just discussing caldina now with Robin.

thanks for the great comments guys, mmmh I am still waiting to see who is building the next one in Aus. its really not that hard but does require a lot of hours.

I am building one in Melbourne it is about to ship in one week.
 
Let me know if we can talk.

Has anyone considered the 2ZZ 6 speed for this build? Is late model engine, all alloy, light weight.

Turbo Hiyabusa.

 

Can you provide pic's of the lower control arms for the front and rear?
Does the chassis use the MR2 rear hub?
 

Any news on this little baby
