MRolla Project Launch

With much fanfare (none), Paul and I met for breakfast Saturday to discuss the issues we need to resolve to graft the front of an '89 Corolla GTS onto the V-RAM MR2, then we started taking measurements. Cutting should start soon. By the May Reno race we should have something exactlyish like this:

Here are a few of the bigger issues we are faced with:

• Where to join the cars: Just behind the Corolla firewall, keeping the Corolla pedals and steering shaft.
• Transmissions: Manual at one end and automatic at the other.
• Throttle: One pedal linked to both engines. Simple.
• Cooling: Put a radiator on the roof or over the rear for the rear engine.
• Fuel: Separate tanks and pumps.
• Brakes: System just needs to be spliced.
• Exhaust: Exhaust from the front engine must be routed.
