from what i've read, the 3sgte swap is expensive... not only that, not many people have done this (especially in the north east... PA etc)... so I've been thinking about the alternatives, and if I buy an mr2 turbo (the entire car) and work on that, would that be the smarter investment? I know it has greater power potential than the 3sgte in quarter mi. time. what do you think?
im also concerned about emissions, so thats why a US mr2 sounds like a better option. This post has been edited by powerkor: Nov 21, 2004 - 3:49 PM |

really? i just assumed... would it still be heavier than a swapped celi?
EDIT: would it also depend on the year? edmunds has the 94 gt hatch weighing about 80 pounds less than a 94 mr2, but a 98 celi weighing 100 pounds more than a 2 of the same year. and then they have the '95 mr2 200 pounds heavier than the 94... but then again its edmunds so who knows This post has been edited by mikew04: Nov 22, 2004 - 2:34 AM --------------------  |
