Cheers for the kind words guys, I seriously love this car!! The torque and noise it makes is simply awesome, even with 9" rear rubber I just smoke them without even trying!

As far as the S2000 start button it goes directly in place of where the cigarette lighter originally was.

With the motor being fitted in the rear it's just like in the GT4 Celica's with the 3SGTE in the front and the MR2 with the 3SGTE in the rear. The E153 gearbox is standard on the Turbo models and the 1MZ bolts straight to that, then all that was needed was a engine mount for the drivers side (right over here!) which came from the UK where this conversion is alot more common.

I'm in the process of getting some 2MZ inlet and 3MZ exhaust cams delivered to me and once I fit those and raise the rev limit to 7,000rpm i'll be hoping to crack the 300rwhp mark. Does anyone know where we can get heavier duty valve springs to suit the 1MZ's?? I read somewhere that you can use 3SGTE springs but haven't been able to confirm it.
