Meeerrrk Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Fair enough let's hope they don't return! Yes i went for the 2zz...and it lasted about 200 miles before spinning a big end bearing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Oh bugger, that's a right pain, sorry to hear that matey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeerrrk Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Tell me about it! If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 So where do you sit with it now? New 2ZZ, rebuild what you have, scrap it and start again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeerrrk Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Decided to have one built from the Ground up. I'm too far gone to go back to 1zz and am not risking another used unknown engine! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeerrrk Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Still got the mr2 Dan? Any progress or updates to it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 My rally driving buddy has a project under way with one of these for next years season, he is going with a Honda motor, think a 1.8 Intergra lump etc as that is what he knows. Apparently most parts are available off the shelf from the states. He turned his last project, a Davrian with 1.6 Honda lump into a class winning car and also won a few events outright, up against ex wrc cars and the like so be interested to see how it turns out.

Ekona Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Still got the mr2 Dan? Any progress or updates to it? Still here! Currently sat in the garage waiting for me to repair a sheared manifold to turbo stud, but once I've done that it'll be going up for sale, along with a billionty bunch of spares I've got sitting here for it. I love it, but I need the cash for other projects so sadly it'll be going shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know what you've got and I'll let you know if any of it interests me ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Deposit now taken At least I know it's going to a great home, and the owner will look after it well. Plus he's a mate, so I'll still get to drive it occasionally I hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 And the car is gone. I'll miss it, but at least I get my garage back now *hits PH classifieds in search of next project* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 What's next Dan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 I have no idea. I've got dibs on an RX8 if I want it but it needs a rebuild, or I might grab another MX5 just because fun. I might get something ridiculous and strip it right back just for a laugh, like a diesel Volvo estate or summat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I saw some epic stripped out Volvo ice drift cars in Sweden, resplendent with BGWs. FR is the ultimate combo after all! It'd be epic on track days, tearing it up, like the old 850s I loved in BTCC when I were a lad. Even got trick rims bro http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201604032581829?atmobcid=soc4 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201603312489090?atmobcid=soc4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
