    If my car is as mental as Paul says, then R.I.P Diesel ! I'll give you the lowdown after I bring mine home on Saturday - that is one trip I'm looking forward to (humongous understatement).

    DM, i hope you're quite prepared for driving this thing lol

    Although quite what that preparation could possibly consist of i have no idea.

    Bet you didn't forsee this from that 1st email all those moons ago eh?

    Result! I'm intrigued about the supporting mods as well. Should be great!
    Brace, strengthen, support! You might have to look into life insurance and traction control :o)

    Epic!

    Can't believe I first spoke to Paul about a conversion in 2008 - I didn't even own an MR2 then. This one was bought with the specific intention of going 1.6. I think the prev owner might have a coronary if she knew lol

    Rock on WS :thumbsup:

    And no, we shan't mention that I nearly barbecued the car after buying the damned engine lol

    I was the same on my first V6 conversion, was about 100 PM's over about a year before I went for it, probably drove Paul nuts! :)
