This was the run by the swift that put 2nd place out of reach.
Was a good run,  he takes the same line as me through every corner expect for the getting out on the ripple strip to enter the last turn.

This got delivered today. 
 
$500  JDM turbo,     No no engine, but the gear box etc is all there.

Fibre glass bonnet, 18inch wheels,  generally pretty tidy, but there are a few bit missing.

Are they monaro rims?

Engine or not, $500 for a rolling body is crazy! What's the plan for this one?

I didn't look that close, but Holden stud pattern wouldn't fit an MR2.

bought it for the gearbox etc, planning on a 1MZ in the grey car.
I actually thought this car was in much worse condition and I was going to just rape it for spare parts and send the shell to scrap.
But it's pretty tidy, no rust around the targa top, interior is in pretty good condition.
It seems a shame to see it meet its end, so I'm talking with a guy who's looking for a project to do with his son.
After the V6 swap is complete in the in the grey car we are thinking of putting all the N/A running gear in the orange one and doing a deal. 

It will all hang on the price though,  he needs to offer me more than it's worth in parts.

 

 

Not much going of late.  Work has been full on.

All I've managed here is fit a set of extra long wheel studs so that I could get some spacers in there.
Also took the tension rods out of the orange car and fitted some superpro bushes and in to the gray car to get some caster adjustment.    
 
Have the first round for this years sprint races coming up on the 16th, not sure if I'll get the car out or not yet.


I need to put some effort into stripping the orange car down and selling off what I done want.

Been quiet this year and funds have been very prohibitive, the car has spent the year so far sitting on a hoist gathering dust.

However this years 2 Day sprint on the back section of the Townsville 400 track is comming up and I want try and improve on my third class from last year.    
With only one club round between now and then I have had to commit to a few things.

The castor rods from the orange car have gone in which has given me more castor.


A new set of headers and exhaust are being built to save weight and gain a little power.

The doors need to be gutted and the glass needs to replace.

Just been reading your story. Thanks,  Good work. Well done.
Those primary pipes look to be pretty long. That should be good but are they a little large in diameter ? Hard to tell in photos.  Thanks for sharing the journey .
