About 130,000 kms on the body, and about 700Km's on the new motor. No rust or dents.

Car used to be automatic and converted to 5spd.

I got this car on the road couple months ago, (took me over a year to complete this swap) Motor came with under 50,000Miles on it, and I put about 700'km's on it, If you are a toyota fan and know about toyota, you'll know the 3sgte is swap is rare and 3sgte is one of toyota's best engines. Engine run beautifully and boosting around 12psi

I say the project is like 90% done, If someone wants to complete this project, what needs to be done is clean up the motor and dress it up, clean out the turbo and lines. Good for the winter project.

OK so i PM'ed him and i got this back:

Yeah if you are looking to do the swap with the additional full exhaust, a lot of customizing, sensors, intercooler, add-ons, look to pay $7500+ by the time you are done. You would need to modify the tranny and parts from the GT4 tranny to make it work, inner axles from Mr2 and outter axle for gt4, it was a headache.

I finished the project last year, with couple minor problems in the wiring. I had the the wiring harness sent out and got it checked out by a guy in the States during the winter, but some how it got lost in the mail, aaaaaaaaaah!

Now the car is siting outside my house without a wiring harness,. So this is a basically unfinished project you can finish if you decide to buy. And will cost you a lot cheaper than you would do a swap on ur car. You will need to get the harness wired costing around $600 ( $300 labour + $140 MR2 harness + $70 Celica +shipping) You can do it yourself or send it to a guy in pitsburg who has done 100's wiring jobs for 6gcelica with 3sgte swaps.


I'm goin to anwser some of you questions,

$10,000 is firm because you can get a stock for around 8-10g's. I've put at least $15,000 on the car, and $7500 is on the swap alone. You should try to sell your car for around $10,000, then buy my car and it will run a lot cheaper if you want a 3sgte swap in a celica.
it has Brand new brake, ebrake, rotors, clutch, (used probably three months i drove it. didn't install lightened flywheel.
2nd 3sgte run on CT26. Mr2 tranny is not LSD. Used to be a GT.

This gives me confidence, as all it "supposedly" needs is a wiring harness. Does anyone know how hard harness this would be to make, I am going to assume that a MR2 was used as the parts car, and therefore I am going to need to make a hybrid st204 & MR2 harness. Is this very different from a regular 3's swap, with a 3's from a celi, as opposed to an MR2?

Im sorry I am noob and i am trying to learn, but this deal is very tempting...if i do get this, is there anyone who would be willing to help me do the wiring? As i stated i want to, and am willing to learn!
