Now this is an MX5 that I would buy!

[Gunns]

Has to be one of the best conversions I have seen in a while.

[Malakai]

Wow that would hammer. Latest development from F'cken Hello Motorsport?

[wicksy]

wholly crap that looks like a snug fit and its a P plater car too lol

[BROCKYB8]

Anyone know any info on would like to know what he has done to get tht in and that . Thats hot.
What box would he be using and tht

[ClassicAU]

wholy crap! That's an LS1 right? My god that would have like 1000kw per tonne! I can imagine it would be quite nose have though.

That takes the Bullet Roadster to a whole new level.

[edfairmont4.0]

holy fark.....

[Malakai]

I can imagine it would be quite nose have though.

Actually those engines don't weigh as much as you might think. I would be fairly comparable I think.

I wish, The photos where taken by a friend who is a cop. He was pulled over for doing 100 in a 60 zone.
They didn't defect or impound the car either.

[TUFED6]

I didn't realize hairdressers liked V8's

[Phillis]

i think the cops would be more impressed than anything else.

[misk]

lol maybe a bit more like 'what fuckin ticket do i issue....fuk it'

[EFFalcon]

looks like its a common conversion, theres a few of em around.

[galapogos01]

thats awesome!!!

[[Sterling]]

LS1 conversion in the BA?


that thing would bloody hammer though, it would be a ton of fun!

[blackers10]

its like the elcheapo version of one of them Bullet cars with the full fibreglass nose cone and a custom chassis...

[nothin suss]

It might just be my crappy monitor but it looks photoshopped to me...

Cool conversion tho. Budget Bullet conversion!

[NUT347]

WHOLEY FARK!!!!

i saw a ba xt, looking stock with stockies, pulling 3rd gear doeys. we stopped him and got him to pop the bonnet.... LS1 worked. 528hp at the wheels, with a t56. said the t56 bolted straight up, and he made his own engine mounts, and VU extractors fitted.

bit of a tool for putting a chev in a falcon... but A+ for creatism

[ned]

Tough.

One could only imagine the looks on people's faces!

[BLKPHN]

Hahah thats fantastic!!

Im doing a conversion on a HQ ute at the moment but that is trully amazing!!

[wicksy]

waiting for a e series conversion to pop up lol

[EFFalcon]

i shoulda done that to my wagon straight out.

[Commando]

That is one awesome MX5! Reminds me of that 351C RWD blue Focus in the States a few years back.

[nothin suss]

I dont like to be a buzz-kill but i'm still suss on this area.....

[Gunns]

They chop the garud to fit the K farme and the control arms

[ClassicAU]

Bah, I call shenanigans! Might just be my shitty eyesight, but looks like a chop to me on that bit!

[nothin suss]

I dunno, looks like a man-drawn line there with some color matching spray paint functioning going on there in paint??

[EFFalcon]

this is a different car... but still

[EFFalcon]

what about a tutorial

I think you need a better monitor
To me that panel looks legit, the paint changes colour slightly over the curved area and there looks to be dry water marks where it hasn't been dried after it was washed last. You can't leave an open guard there, water and rocks will shower up from the wheel and cover everything in shit.

Those pics John posted show how far back the engine sits, it looks like the 2nd pair of cylinders from the front is level with the axleline. These would probably have better weight distribution than a Bullet Roadster, the Lexus V8 is pretty big compared to an LS1.

Myself and ClassicAu must both have crap monitors then. Im not saying its not possible (we just finished putting an LS1 in a KE20) but this just looks NQR. That is all.

[EdFairmontGhia]

the idea is certainitly a good one.....
