Nice one, cheers Paul.

I wonder if the MR2 window motor's the same I think I have a spare somewhere.

My old 2.4 had corolla window motors in the rear.

I've got a Lexus one in mine.

How's the coffee and, more importantly, Fred this morning Graham?

Just like that:

Sweet! How does the weight of the bigger engines affect the balance of the car in the twisty bits? The standard car was brilliantly balanced from what I remember.

Ever experience the supercharged version? Or the 20V supercharged one offered by Fensport? I used to lust after one of them

Not a huge amount, the MZ is all an alloy engine so about the same weight as the SC engine. The Mk2 turbo gearbox does add a bit though. But overall not much more than a boot full of shopping.

I've not got mine on the road yet (firing order's all wrong) but I drove a friends 3SGTE powered one and other than being a LOT faster it didn't feel much different in the twisties to a stock one.

I do like the supercharged Mk1s, very nice, but very expensive when they go wrong as some parts are rare as rocking horse poo (especially the electronic clutch on the supercharger).

If you fancy a read of peoples build threads have a look at www.twobrutal.co.uk I'm Limeymk1 over there.
