Phil, myself and Steve (my brother) all bimbled down to Woodsport today to take a look at loadsawine's car. And the engine and workmanship looks fantastic! Paul has done a fantastic job.

He started up a MR2 MK2 with a V6 Camery engine and a TRD supercharger and it sounded amazing! Proper low down rumble that steve said "you can feel it through your feet!"

Cheers for making us feel welcome Paul.

So it's a "driver locating pin"? (think about it, folks...  s;) ;) s;) )

That's one way of stopping yourself from sliding out of the drivers seat, I suppose!  s:shock: :shock: s:shock:   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

That is gonna be a long day!   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  
Just for info guys, pickup is on for 17th November, as the wiring still has to be finished. ( Paul fired up the V6 on about 5 wires to begin with, just to get it fired up and check for leaks etc)
Not a lot of progress today ,as Paul had to do a few other bits as well.
I am reliably informed that some vid will be posted up on Monday.
So the wiring and a host of little tidying jobs, plus the surprise bit ( no its not from any dodgy shop   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  )
Then all the systems will need testing to make sure they all work as they did before.
And then we're in business......   s8) 8) s8)    s8) 8) s8)

No worries Sandi, You'll get a blast in it.   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  
 I'm going to try and let as many people experience the V6 as I can. It may take a while, but folks have been very supportive on this thread and I'd like to give them an opportunity to experience it in the flesh.  s8) 8) s8)
