Having a built my Mr2 to its current spec and having the smockey passat derv i was fairly happy saving for a house. then the misses decided she was going to up and leave. so it was retail therapy time. . .
2.0L Pinto currently
next winter will be converted to Zetec on carbs with Cams pushing 190-200bhp
looking forward to getting a pic of it with the mr2

Looks good and should be fun but what happens when the ex comes back and sees that you have swapped your future plans with a kitcar?

Nice 
The floor does look parallel to the frond though, just has a massive arch gap for some reason

What is it? Westy?
Back might be high due to suspension set up (Although yours looks higher than others). Alot of properly set up 7 reps sit high at back. Shape of rear arch affects how it looks too. Our Birkin has had susp properly set up recently and sits up a bit at back. Most Caterhams do too. Or it may be on wrong springs?
Function over form etc.
Why not go for a Duratec on TB's?

dunno if the duratech will bolt to the pinto box like the zetec will. plus think duratech would need full stand alone.
mr2 is on full stand alone and all complicated, wanna keep this simple

if you can cook then you don't need a woman imo. just buy a fleshlight and watch some porn, then take the car out for some fun every dry weekend we get.

Fleshlights can go in the dishwasher too, so don't even need to know how to wash up.
