Well, there goes another run to the end of the country to buy a fricken Camry.
'97 1MZ, 91K miles, drives absolutely sweet as a nut, just swallowed 450 miles in a rather illegal time :mrgreen:
Picked up my £20 Exhaust for the Mk3 as well, bit of a billy bargain but may be a bit of a mare to get to work, i certainly lined it up and it physically fits, just need to wait and see how we go. I'll get pics of the pair 2moro when i get to the unit.
Flywheel's getting delivered 2moro, got my clutch in, gearbox and bits being delivered 2moro too, just need to get a head gasket set and haway we go.

Schweet mate, good result. Looks like your gonna be a busy bunny.

Why has no-one noticed the pink shelving in his dads garage??

Some proper progress at last!

Gonna get a good clean and paint once the cutting and welding is done.

Not sure if am doing this right, is the engine meant to come out of the Camry 1st?

And here's the exhaust am gonna be using, can you tell what it's off?

It's gonna have a couple of recesses cut in the bumper and sit a little higher but the angle this sits at is gonna be a challenge to make all 3 inlets work as they should. Yes, 3 inlets :mrgreen:
Oh and the rarest thing on the planet, a rust free Mk3 subframe!

The gearbox is off the Mk3 and gonna be stripped down and LSD removed but i've already got another i picked up previously for the super duper Mk2 N/A box build.
I've started taking all the gubbins out the Mk3 aswell, chipped away half the bitumen soundproofing then realised i didn't have to, :doh:
If the weather's decent 2moro, the engine will be coming out ze camry. :)

Well done olie, that's some progress mate. Not sure what that box is, but it does look kinda exotic. Its a bigun!
-
Nice progress Olie, watching with interest.
-
I like that exhaust :thumbsup: come on spill the beans, what is it? :mrgreen:
-
Hehe, it's an F355 exhaust.
It has 2 inlets in the bottom half that work at low revs and then a 3rd inlet up top which opens up above a certain rpm. It's operated by a vacuum solenoid.
So i'm going to run one bank each to the lower inlets at 1st, blank off the top and see if it flows enough. If it's at all restrictive then i'll take a "y" off each pipe and feed them into the 3rd inlet so it's got full use of all 3 and hold the solenoid permanently open.
Should sound fairly rorty. :)

Potentially dodgy driving through Italy with that Zorst... You might get done :careful:
