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.

Yeah those fenders are pretty much decoration for the "garage" laugh.gif , they are pretty bent up in quite a few areas. If anyone were to use them, I'd only suggest using them as a template for where to cut the sidemarker hole and nothing more. JDM tails with a black center would be nice but is low on the priority list.

I'll be selling some left over parts soon....I even have that hood spoiler you've been looking for Goferris, but I'm selling that and the GT-Four hood to the owner of my old Celica.

Kim - The heat exchanger and dual fans are mounted behind the radiator; it was the only way to get it up front without cutting up the front bumper and losing that valuable thing called AC. Track time will have to wait until I get some straight rims; it vibrates pretty bad past 65mph. Let me know about the parts and fill me in on whats new with the Celica

Celicadude04 - The MR2 is from Hot Wheels while the Celica is from Maisto.
