This is actually old news considering I traded my Celica for an 91 MR2 Turbo back in December. I've had it running and driving since March but have been waiting to post it up until I was satisfied with the end result...for now biggrin.gif

The car originally had a JDM 93 3SGTE swapped in but had developed rod knock. I took the ST205 WRC 3SGTE meant for the Celica and put it in the MR2. I did all the wiring (a first for me) and fabrication myself.

Things I've added since owning the MR2: New Rear Ball Joints and LCA bushings, Custom Intake, WTA plumbing and Heat Exchanger w/dual fans, 10" puller fan where stock IC was located, H4 Conversion w/ 8000k HIDs, Non-Air Bag Steering wheel, and lastly an HKS EVC 6.

Enjoy the pix.

Hey man. Really stupid question, But is your Garage that your working on this car in a Storage Garage? and if so and you dont mind me asking how much do you pay a month to be able to have that? reason im asking is i want to do that myself, but was not sure if working on a car would fly.

I guess I got lucky and found a fellow car guy that happened to own the storage facility. He's a cool guy from Detroit and really into all cars. I pay $135 a month for a 12'x25' space with 110 electric that also has limited gate access. Just ask around and tell them what your intentions are first and see what happens.
