Bother - forgot that was from a members area. Sorry.
Hope this works better.
I've marked it up to hopefully indicate the problem area.
Thanks for the photo and I see the similarities. Once the build is complete, ill come up with a design and modify that area to spread the load a bit more with some bracing of some sort.Hope this works better.

Good to see my tinker list has started before the build is even close to complete

Doesn't look to bad at all but as said those wheels would have to go!!Pretty happy with progress. Confirmed first stage of wiring is working for starting and charging.
I've done in a manner im very happy with.
Battery to starter
Ignition to relay
Starter (on ignition) to relevant relay.
12volt feed to rear (ecu / fuel pump, coil / igniter etc...)
Everything else is feed from these relays in series, so if it turned over then everything must be working for the current to flow.
Anyway 9secs of joy (for me at least) Hopefully a start up within a couple of weeks when I put fuel in.

- Managed to use the main fuses (120amp / 80amp , 50amp) to feed relevant places.
- Managed to resuse the rear fusebox on Mr2 which holds fuses and relays, meaning only 5 wires required to wire it up.

Managed to start the engine today finally after a week of fighting it.
Found out in the end the cams were fitted wrong and completely out so took a while to get to the bottom of the issue
Why it took so long...the head gasket, timing belt and valve reseat we're done by a mechanic so was last bits I checked

Looking great 
you should consider getting this thread moved to the readers cars section as I'm sure loads of people would love to see this, and traffic in this forum is very limited...
i'll ask but doesnt matter either way. you should consider getting this thread moved to the readers cars section as I'm sure loads of people would love to see this, and traffic in this forum is very limited...whats better then a picture...a video!!
Only a quick walk around of it with everything in and tidied up. Next one with it started once the silencer is on

WTF has this been moved for? It was far more relevant in the kit car section - being a kit car(!) and the first of it's kind imported into the UK. If anyone had seen the DDR4 on the net and was thinking about whether it was possible to get over here or even build to UK spec I wonder where they'd look in the forums...
Following the same logic why hasn't the Bertini been moved - it's "just" a build thread of someone's car? Of does that stay because he's going to make them. But then should it go because it's advertising...
Makes no sense to me

Don't apologise, I just found it funny.
Get what you are saying but seemed a bit harsh on Anthony with your rant of the Bertini.
Can this chassis be modded to fit a V8 if you decide to go down that route in the future?
I've driven a few Mr2Turbos over the years in various states of tune and anything north of 280ish was very on/off. Do you have the option to upgrade to more cylinders easily? Although in saying that, a 2GR would slot in there nicely with a SC strapped to the top.

It's quite a nice open space and as MR2's have had 6 and now even 8 cylinders fitted I don't see a reason why not once I've got it on the road.

Excellent sir!
Must also be nice to be the only one to have one on the country.
Can't wait to see and hear the finished product.
I took the challenge so if I have kids one day, ill be able to say I was the first to build and complete in the UK and hopefully Europe at this rate, something no one can take away Must also be nice to be the only one to have one on the country.
Can't wait to see and hear the finished product.
