Right. I've been slack as shit on updating this. Where to start? Hilux diff has been sold. I have front and rear mx5 subframes siting in the garage, Mx5 d2 adjusties, steering rack etc. The gearbox tunnel has been finished. Engine has had a rattle can rebuild. Am going to start notching the rear chassis and floor to fit the IRS rear end. Car is going to get 50mm flares all around to fit the wider subframes. Have decided to keep the rota in it.

Well aware it's been ages since I've updated this. Life has got in the way a bit and because I've decided to go full fucktard on it I'm just going to take my time and get it done right. Not much will happen over the next year as we are in the planning stages of getting my new 4 car workshop sorted. in the meantime I can say what the plans are.

I've picked up an all alloy 3.5l V6 2GR-FSE which I will be building up as a twin turbo engine. Looking for 500whp on high boost. That's heaps for this little car

The MX5 Front and rear subframes are still going in with the D2 Adjustable Coil overs

I think, I might adapt a J160 6 Speed box to work with it

Unfortunately although I love the Rays wheels the new stud pattern is going to mean I'll need to sell them for something else. I've decided to go with a set of Work Equip 40s in 15x9 - Hopefully all round. I'm going to powder coat the centers the same shade of turquoise because so many people either love it or hate it and I'm all about pissing off purists.

Hoping to run dual exhausts with separate pipes for the wastegates

Not sure if i'll be keeping the blue paint, may look at going to something like the old-school factory Toyota white color. Will see how things go as time and money disappears. 

For now here's a pic of my 2GR when I picked it up
