New member, new (to me) car.

[Enrico Cadilac]

Hi all, just joined Pistonheads & finding my way around.
I was going to wait until the makeover of my car car was complete before unveiling her for appraisal, but I can't resist giving you a sneak preview of the engine bay.
Any idea's what car it is?

I would say its a MR2 with a V6 in it ?

Well, the weather has stopped me adding some more pictures, but here are a few more. I still have to change the rear lights, spoiler & wheels, & re-align the bonnet & headlight covers, but she is getting there!!

No sir, Rogue Motorsport. I did talk to Paul Wood initially when I decided to take this route, but a combination of things that would take too long to go into meant I had the work done at Rogue. I am very happy with all aspects, it feels like a different car in it's throttle response, I suppose because of the low down grunt. I wish I knew how to put up a sound clip, as it sounds like nothing I have ever heard.

what shot of nos is that?

found the v6 to pull very linear and hard but the short ratios frustrating with the gearbox topping out before 120 mark, can a ask why you didn't just go for a turbo?

have to say lovely looking mr2 you have there

[Enrico Cadilac]

Thanks Johnston, I have the turbo 'box, with the ratio's we reckon it will top out around 135mph, but next year will be rebuilding 'box with a longer final drive for more relaxed cruising plus higher top speed.
I have options of 50, 75, 100 & 125bhp's worth of NoS, at the moment it is jetted for 100 bhp, but although it is fitted & working we are going to leave it until a nice dry day in the new year & get it mapped properly.
Brook.
