Had to go over to the carpark to do it but, there, CUSTARD!

I don't give a damn if that's actually your 360. You're still a madman for suggesting such nonsense, and this a blatant 'look at me I've got a Ferrari post'

The custard needs to be poured over the interior for it to be a true validation, I'm afraid.

Can you do that and get a pic, OP?

Thanks.

What a bizzare thread.

You realise that quite a few MR2 Turbo are running similar BHP figures to your 360?

You have to have the car open, not just find a Ferrari and place some Custard on it, I could do that, we have Stratstones a Dog walk away so I could prove ownership of an FF, a 458 or any other model, Aston, Bentley, Mclaren, Porsche and others not far away as well, all you have proven is ownership of a pot of Ambrosia ready made Custard, not the full on majesty of a pot of Birds Custard Power, the stuff that is more or less white when dry but magically turns vivid orange on contact with milk.

Yes, I am being a bit of a dick, but the Custard test cannot be trivialised.

Assuming that is yours, Would you really cut it up, would you take an air chisel to that bodywork, even Top Gear only wreck(ed) cheaper older stuff.

Can't you pick these up easily enough for £30k-40k? It's a 360 too, not an ultra rare model. I fully believe it's his, custard or not.

If you do go ahead with this,don't forget to wear Toyota branded clothing at all times.

Does it have to be an mr2? Why not find something with a similar wheelbase ala lexspace?

I for one am disappointed by the OP's lack of original thought. My first purchase following success on the Euromillons tonight would be the purchase of Mclaren F1 ideally Rowan Atkinson's. It would then have its major failing addressed which is its MPG. I would remedy this glaring error by replacing the BMW lump with the very frugal Peugeot diesel from my mothers car. To avoid rude and ill thought comments that I am not taking this seriously a picture of custard being poured liberally over said engine will be made available on request. (For pedants I will accept opinions on both the brand and temperature of the custard.)

OP, if this is legit, you're mental.

I'm all for the idea of a sleeper, but this is just nuts.

How much money are you willing to fling at a project? If I had a 360 Spider and was looking for a project, I'd be aiming to turn it into a 360 Challenge Stradale Spider.

Op it would be cheaper to buy a decent MR2 (4K) and stick a SP turbo on it (2 to 3K depending on how old/fitting cost). Thats 240bhp per ton so a very quick sleeper car.

If you butcher a real F360 the piston heads massive will hunt you down lol

OK, so I had to go back and put a brick through the guy's window to get access, but here...

Grateful if we could stop the joking now gents and talk sensibly about this!

OP, you are obviously a genuine 360 owner, and if this is a troll then I applaud you.

If you are seriously considering this, then you are a mad man.

We all have silly ideas, but butchering a perfectly good Ferrari, to turn it into some sort of sleeper, is never going to gain much traction around here.

If you have money to burn, and want a mad car project, there are plenty of options out there.

Turning your 360 into an MR2 is not one of those options.

Good luck.
