Both are in process. The black one is a 1989 Toyota MR2 Frankenstein. It has a mid 90s 4AGE engine with 5 valves per cyl Variable valve timing and 11:1 compression and 6 PSI boost on top of that. I built the intake which has an integrated water to air intercooler, I also built the stainless steel header and turbo back exhaust. The engine and trans are coated with a heat dissipation ceramic coating which is very hard. I am currently building a Megasquirt ECU for it which is a cheap DIY aftermarket engine management and it should allow me to get a bit more out of the setup.
They are quite the contrast to each other. The MR2 is pushing the limits of performance and technology.
The other is a 55 Studebaker President. It had sat for a very long time before I got it. So far I have rebuilt the carbs and fuel pump, and done a bunch of tune up and revival work on it. The engine is very strong but the car still needs a good bit of attention. As it is it pulls strong and is a blast to drive around. I have a little more I need to do on electrical and mechanical and then I will be tackling the rust spots on the body.
indeed. I saw a show on tv where they were restoring a big queen anne victorian house. they tore out all the crap that someone tried to "modernize" it with and restored it to it's original grandeur. then they had these appliances that were brand new, but they looked just like the wood heated stovetops and ovens of the late 1800s. wild eh?
I absolutely adore Doctor Who :) and of course I have the Christmas Special all ready and reminded for me to watch...it's like a christmas tradition in my household!
