Thanks for the nice comments yes it is the same engine out of a supra twin turbo.
and the discs and calipers are from a range rover sport and they only just squeezed on inside a 19 inch wheel  ;D

With that size wheel, what's the ride like? Have you lowered it at all?

Looking good! :y

I have questions! ha ha!

What box and LSD you running? Did you do the whole conversion on your own? Was it expensive to do?

Hi there sorry for the late reply ive been moving house lol
its been lowered around 40mm but is a mv6 so i think it sits abit lower from standard it has lost abit of ride comfort but i hardly notice it because it is a very comfortable car and it did originally have the mv6 17inch wheels so the ride comfort hasn't changed that much.

IM running a manual box w58 from the mk4 supra and a lsd from a ex police car
 v6 so it should be fun to drive  :)

i reckon the engine conversion has cost me around 3.600 with all of the converted parts
i fitted it myself with help with wiring from my old man its been a long slow process  with work and kids but hopefully be worth the wait lol :)

its running with a twin core radiator and a viscous fan so there's no heat issues it runs as sweet as a nut lol

Hi there im not sure what car it was exactly the lad just said it was a v6 omega facelift he crashed it into a field and wrote it off it only had about 60.000 on the clock if i remember him saying to me wounder really that's what happens :)

i havnt actually road tested it yet in still finishing a few wires off its kind of trial as you go ive only moved around the yard so not 100 percent ive got speedo readings at the moment i was asuming the speedo ran off the abs system and wasn't affected by the transplant but i may be wrong i will find out in a couple of months when i finally get to road test her
