Rudys 430 replica 1mz vvti swap

[Paul Woods]

A very nice replica this one, getting the Rx300 1mz, so far the car has had its engine and gearbox removed....





Lots more to come.

Various mods have been done including the start of the chassis mount fabrication...

Icing on the cake for this DNA430, one of the best (if not the best) 430's built.
I wasn't going to Stoneleigh this year but may change my mind for two reasons, this is one of them

I couldn't agree more, not just the kit construction but the attention to detail and quality of product were awesome. We saw Paul's (Paulcas) DNA360 at JAE last year and it look the mutts nuts, drew a real crowd as well.

Engine bay modifications are now completed, with the framework for the access panel also done...



The bay will now be painted ready for its new heart.

The engine is coming along nicely, heads are built up and torqued down onto new MLS gaskets, still a lot to do here.





The cam covers and plenum go into paint tomorrow so the engine should be totally built by Friday.

I do believe you're getting the hang of these conversions now Paul ! :hidesbehi:

[Paul Woods]

I'd like to think so Pete! :)
