HI,

I currently own a rev 3 mr2 turbo and am seriously considering the purchase of a celica gt4 (1997 model). jsut wondering how much more expensive the celica is to run and maintain than the mr2. i know they have the same engine but the celica is heavier and 4wd. i use the car to commute and i dont want it to cost me lot on Petrol.

Any views?

Many thanks

but asked a GT4 owner who will getting the clutch out / in! frown.gif

in my opinion the MR2 SW20 is still the best looking car toyota ever build. and with the trubo engine it has great potential on further HP upgrades.

finally the specific weight difference is about 300 kg!!!

on the other hand - the GT4 has a 4WD which helps on traction, but lose on topspeed...

nevertheless - an alternative solution will be buying both cars smile.gif

From what people say, it's much harder to do a clutch job on an MR2. Is replacing a clutch on a GT-FOUR much different than an ST202, ST204, etc? I'm curious. Oh yeah, my brother owns an MR2.
