Thinking of this for a few reasons,

Im soon to be starting a new job that would involve a hell of a lot of parking in tight spaces, right now i aint too clever with the length of the celica bonnet.

Im considering trying to get a 2L turbo T-bar MR2 . The seconds shape model.

What are the pros & cons of doing this?

Cheers

Well, there have been a lot of people that have gone from the 6gc to the mr2 but I have never heard the "parking in tight spaces" rationale before.

I think the main reasons would go like this (not necessarily in order):

Power
RWD (traction)
Exotic Looks
Mid-engine (handling)

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
