Im leaning towards getting an older 91-93 mr2, pref N/A
and swap my current engine into it. I REALLY want rwd.
and the N/A mr2 engine can be swapped in the celica and sell it, and maybe have money to spend afterwards, considering ive founds a few mr2's for 2k and I know I could sell my car for over 2k.
It just seems like a really good idea right now. Esp with higher HP in fwd.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

that's not fun when you're racing. frown.gif and especially not fun with as much horsepower as itchy's planning on. To me, the 2nd gen MR2 chassis design has a power limit... beyond it, the car just becomes unstable and NOT fun to drive. I'd say around 400 horsepower is when the car gets very jumpy. It's like back in the day when my dad used to race a Starlet with a turbo 3TC. Scary...
