i've had this car since may drove it around a bit and it's spot on :mrgreen: and very quick :shock:
shame it's not a Ford but needs must :lol: for the cash i'd have had so spend on the cossy to get it to what this is standard there wasnt much in it :?

car:- Toyota Aristo (same engine as a supra TT)
engine:- Toyota 2JZ-GTE
spec:- 3 litre inline 6cyl
power:- 280bhp standard (restricted) (tuned max 1200bhp+)
torque:- 530 Nm (391 lbft)@5600

That's FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST :twisted: :twisted:
Think that'd be at the 1200bhp end of the scale.

Well done Luke, nice choice 8) 8)

I knew it :D Had to be a Supra engine, the only thing I could think of in RWD that was short enough to go in a Transit 8)

They are the dogs bits mate, I've driven and worked on a few of these, SUPERB :!: My favourite engine of all time :mrgreen:

yeah you can see in that pic how little of the front of the car is needed -for an inline 6 its short even tho the engine is longer than a Rover V8 its obviously narrower than the V8 engine so it can fit further back :) i'm hoping the back of the engine sits where the floor has been lifted for the MT75 :D

auto mate :D yeah i know all the hassle i went to to get the cossy manual and now i'm going auto :oops: :lol:
but in my defence - i've driven the car with the auto box and it's without a doubt the best auto ive ever driven - probly because of the power the engine has :D and for the drag strip autos seem to be better - all the quick supras are auto's :D
