I am very tempted. The gearbox we know we can do. We are working out if my new clutch would work. Engine mounts won't be a problem it will fit. Exhaust might be tricky. It dose not weigh much more and is shorter than the 6 so the weight is more central.

I will be using a standalone ECU if I turbo and the turbo and this would cost about the same? And at 280 Bhp and 290 ftlbs and then a blower 500 ish of each!!
I don't think you've much choice now :)

Nice one MM, unfortunately I think I'm going to miss you as I only have a pass from the boss for the morning. Great to see the Supra!

It’s running quite well. The new gearbox is in and working. It needs a different final drive. And there is a small issue with the PAS system apart from that all good. I will grab some pictures tomorrow if i remember.
