Default MRM Speed Shop’s F2 Maxi Build Lucifer 2

Had a few changes this along the way well the plans have, was going to be F1 but just so much pissing about by a chap in Finland with price change Ive decided to go F2

this is what I will end up with

























started engine strip

me mates acid dipping me block, looked at bores and there mint for a 100K engine, no score marks at all





even the pitons are pritty mint, wont be useing um again tho tbh





Cranks off to be lightend and balanced and crack tested and maybe knife edged



MTX Quaiff LSD










throttle bodies being built



so far this week ive orderd

Focus RS Callipers that'll run with 320mm discs

Gear box has been deliverd to Bara Mtotorsport engineering ferm to be rebuilt as new but with the Quaiff LSD fitted inside thanks Marco Polo for the link to Bara

Throttle Bodies are having finishing touches done to them by the mane man Sam

Rear disc beem has arrived and now thats off to be fettled with


as i was messed about with the F1 kit I've decided to go F2, Cossie arches are on route need to get still RS/GTi side skirts and then maxi rear style spoiler and bonnet vent and roof scoop and front lights sorted but ill sort it

new roof panel will be fitted as to get rid of sun roof hole thanks to PhilBotley

so, geting started again lol car will be getting moved in a couple of weeks so we can get cracking on the repaint of the inside and the bay and also tart up the underside of shell thaks to Poser for us taking over his work shop for the forseable future lol

The rear beem is being modded

update....


lots of pic's to come in new year

engine plans have changed now though

I have built a 2L I4 RS2K block to go in on t/b's but now ill be only using that on one track day when built to run it then remove it and either sell it or keep it as spare

Ive purchsed jasons 2.3 I4 Low comp block for turbo that ran 300BHP in his 4x4, ill be usng that in my track car now pulling close to the 300 or over the 300 mark depending on drivability of the car

pics up soon

Cheers lads, need to make a decision on what turbo to run on it as last one bolted to it was GT28 but been speaking with me mate and he ran a T34 hybrid roller baring turbo on his esocs that ran 360 bhp and 364 torque he reckons i should get a hybrid built for the 2.3?

before the block ran 301 BHP @ 12psi and and 300lb/ft torque so apparently lots of room left for growth
