You mate are a legend health and safety over here would be having a fit, would love the dvla trying to classify it "is it a car is it a plane nope it's a lemons racer".

Nutttttss! But i like the idea! Good luck.

**Gouky** · 29-03-2011, 20:45

thanks guys :)

my smile was wider than my face when i heard it fire the first time. I can't wait to hear it under load.

It's a WWII airplane motor and a subaru gearbox in a MKII. The motor was from a ryan pt-22 trainer aircraft.

the plan is to take the car endurance racing at 24hours of lemons and then put some plates on it to drive it as a sunday driver :)

this probably means I hold the record for the oldest and the newest engine in an MR2. that radial is from 1938 I think. and I've got an MKI with a 2010 camry motor in it :)
