    scotts 355 V6 swap

    well woodsport has made its first million quid so i thought id treat myself to a new ferrari....





    Yeah right i wish!!! instead scotts 355 rep arrived and i have to say apart from the paint job this is a lovely motor,i had quite a few spectators oogling over this today,very nice car indeedy!



    Safe as houses.

    Unbeknown to you lot if been beavering away getting the engine ready for this one....


    Heads off,everything decoked,new gaskets fitted,lovely.



    Heads painted up,torqued back down and backlash gears set.



    New timing belt fitted.



    What better colour for a 355 rep than ferrari red for the plenum,which has been de-egr'd.

    next week the athsmatic 3s-ge comes out of the 355 rep (which is only running on 3 cylinders for some reason,oh well! who cares!!)

    i agree sam,after looking over this car today i think its a lovely kit....personally id lose the ferrari decals and just have people guessing what it was but thats just me.

    The wheels on this car are to die for,looks like 6" dishes on the rear! :thumbsup:

    I sepnt hours going over a mint example last year at the kit car show with the extreme kit on and is so close its untrue as I think its only an inch off the real thing and brings lights further towards the front ! other thing that let it down was the brakes but would go for a bremobo conversion on the front and see what Keri brings out for the rears and put a V6 in and you aint gonna get any closer than that tis for sure ! For me though would have to be a total tintop to make it clsoe to the real thing and have never been a fan of tbars in mk1 or 2 after owning one years ago, but do see the appeal of open top just not me ! thats gonna be awesome as sound will at last more closely resemble the real thing !

    I think you'll find that this is the best thing that can happen to a Mk2 lol
