Lightened rev 2 1mz
Hi everyone I've recently bought a really solid rev 2 tintop for peanuts. Never been welded by the looks and has interior partially stripped which suits my ideas for this project.
As I already have a nice rev 2 3sge tintop and a classic Mini with work quite busy too money and time is tight for this new project. I love improvising and the fun to be had by limiting how much cash is thrown at a project
Plan is dirt cheap home build 1mz preferably vvti install in a lightened shell to enjoy b road blasts in the North Wales evo triangle area on my doorstep and I may enter loton park hillclimb which is just up the road from me.
So I'm biding my time looking for conversion parts at the right price if anyone can help out please?
Here's my wants list:
Engine mount
Na flywheel drilled to fit mz
Modified downpipe
Suitable exhaust not too loud
Plug and play adapted wiring harness if such a thing exists?
Also super red osf wing and bumper std or border
Anything else you guys can think of. Prefer local collection north Shropshire Chester west mids
My approach is to prep the car first and buy the engine last. I want everything ready to make the actual engine drop in as rapid as possible.
I'll post photos up over the next few days.
Sorry if you've seen this sort of thing before but hopefully the car will look subtly different to other '2s out there - I grew up obsessed with 70s Bertone sports prototypes, stuff like the Alfa Romeo Carabo and my first job was photographer for an auto design house so I like to mess around with the way a car looks to put my personal stamp on it
