It still looks like an MR2...have a look at the picture second from the bottom on the left...unmistakeable...

Still one of the best ones I've seen though, I'd like to see a front on shot and rear shot, because what makes a Ferrari unmistakable is the W I D E look they have. I don't think the MR2 shell would have the width to really pull it off.

But all the same looks cool! :)

Well, when/if i see that in the streets i won't think "hey, thats the most done up mr2 i've ever seen." I'll be thinking, "hey, thats the smallest Ferrari I've ever seen."

Then i'd go and kick it in the tyres.

Anyone got a link of those VW's being kitted out like a Porsche...same thing...show without the go...

The 3S-GTE engine is nice, atleast its cheaper to service than a N/A V12...

Bob that's because most don't know how to make a VW go....And I do ;)

So I could get the go to match the looks(without a turbo ;) )

Hey Silva, what engine would you throw into a Porsched up bettle? I remember someone did a beetle with an old 911 engine in there (but he didn't bother with the kit) kinda cheating as its pretty much an engine, running gear and sitting on top of that a pair of racing seats and a beetle shell. But scary fast!

Wow very very nice, just hope that the engine performance matches the looks.

It says the engine is 275 BHP, thats a decent amount of power!

http://members.optusnet.com.au/borboyous/index.htm

The body kit itself costs $9300! And that's just unpainted panels!

Main Kit $9300

Rear Lights (replicas) $465

Front Lights $120

Hub Extensions (spacers) $630

Badges (original only) $430

100% Replica 355 Wheels $2800

Tyres $1175

TOTAL $14920

15 grand on top of the mr2 price to make it look like that, and you'd still need to add on painting, the interior (another 4ish grand) and the H gear thingy anoher 400ish. Damned this is an expensive exercise.

And wow the ebay one has gone up to 21k and still reserve not met!

Just had another look at that ad ... it says it has a 2,000 litre engine! :blink:

If that's the case, you wouldn't be looking for much extra power! B)

Can anyone say "cramped engine bay"? :lol:

type 4 2litre from bay window Kombi

Stroker crank

105mm piston/barrell kit

hydraulic cam and lifters

balance bottom end(shot peen rods etc)

lighten flywheel

Autronic ecu

Aftermarket fuel injection set up

big valves

match porting and porting of cylinder heads

CES custom exhaust system

That combo would produce 300hp and 300 foot pounds of torque. (have a mate with similiar spec engine in an offroader and that's what he got on a dyno with a compression ratio of 8.2:1)

This what I'm considering putting in my 76 Kombi.

So look out Stivo's here comes the orange and white block of flats. :P

If you don't believe me ask Northy... he's seen it with the old engine ;)

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      Hi everyone, I own a 2011 Toyota Hilux KUN26R. It currently has a tray. I am looking for a single cab tub (image for reference below). I have a couple of questions for everyone: - Were KUN26R's ever released in Australia with a single cab tub as an option? I have looked high and low over all sorts of marketplaces within Australia and honestly cannot seem to find one. I don't believe I have ever seen one on the streets of Aus either. - Does anyone have experience making this conversion? Where can I find a tub? I have found some examples of the style side single cab KUN26R's in the UK, EU, Africa and Thailand but in all instances it has been part of a whole car sale and the sellers have not been willing to part out. Even so, if there is the chance that I can buy this tub in Australia it would be much better as it would save the hassle of organising freight. Thanks everyone in advance. I'm jealous of overseas countries who seem to have gotten this model in abundance.

      1993 Corolla Seca CSI limited

      1993 CSI limited Corolla Seca hatchback 80k kms. We are the second owner and have complete service and maintenance records of the car from new. Previously owned from new by older lady who rarely drove the car in the final years. Very neat and tidy vehicle. Unfortunately another vehicle has reversed into the car and their towball caused some damage to radiator, air con system and fan. The right person could easily fix the vehicle. We are just not in a financial position to do this. We cannot bear to send the car to salvage so posting here in hope that another Toyota enthusiast is interested incontinuing the life of the car. These cars are much loved and we have loved our “Beryl” during her time with us. Please feel free to ask questions. Open to offers above $3k

      Rav4 smart key keyless entry

      I got my new rav4 2024 hybrid gx yesterday. The fob let's me lock and unlock using the button but doesn't do this automatically for proximity. Once in the car the push start ignition turns on without holding the key up to it and the multimedia system tells me that the smartkey system is activated. I've read the manual over and over but can't find a fix for this specific thing. Has anyone else had this?

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      Hey I'm looking to buy my first car and was looking at this 2010 Aurion Sportvio with 165,000km for around $9000and relatively new tires. Just wondering if this is a good price and if I should be worried about such high km's with expensive maintenance. Only looking to have this car for 5 ish years, so will it last that?
