Should I spend more time sourcing a decent 190bhp vvti toyota engine. Drop it in to the MR2 and have a cheap quick impractical two seater.
F20C or don't bother.
Nahguavkire-
How much work to make the f20c then the electrics to make the magic happen?
190bhp and the engine fits straight in the car, all the electrics are there and just ecu swap. Enough people have done this, seem that the engine doesn't have a battled sump so suffers from oil starvation on track days. If the car is over reved by gear change the oil pump grenades itself and scraps the engine. Same engine is fitted to the Elise....
Finding an engine that is checkable and not more than buying a cheap celica or corolla.

Should have bought Bq's one ;)
Does anyone care about the del boy boxster? First is cleaning, the car even had moss in the doors. So first was a moss remover that wouldn't damage the paint or the hood. So far I have visited two porker dealers (Porsche Beckton sorry Porsche centre East) to collect details of how to check if the shell is straight on a certain brand of jig. Just messing about, on level ground and bits of string and tape measures the shell is out of shape. So waste time on putting car on the jig and seeing how bent it is. Then to see it the car can be straightened and then if it can't what panels are needed to straighten it. How much they are new or if they can be bought second hand. Then do I want to go to essex every day to do actual work to the car.
Even then how much will the car be worth and will I make anything on selling it to cover my time costs?
