Well, took the engine out of the MR2 yesterday and spent most of this evening stripping it down.
Here are a few pics of my ordeal. Forgive the quality, theyre all off the phone.
First couple of hoses off

Got her up on the lift then to remove this beasty (Yes I know the shafts are off in this pic, it was the only one I had of the crossmember still in the car)

Tie bars then came off meaning I could swing the hubs out

And then pull the driveshafts out

Disconnect the droplinks, and get the bugger out

We then raised the car away from the engine on the lift, and I was extremely glad to be left with this when the lift went up

Have a look at this for a hosing nightmare - This is going to be a nasty one to replum!!

And the block

After all that Im well knackered, and there is at least as much work to go! I have all the bolts out of the gearbox and will split it from the block tomorrow. Have a 6 plate clutch to go in there to take the new horspepower and torque!
