OK,
YES I KNOW THIS ISNT A 6GC BUT I THOUGHT ID ASK.... TO START OFF, MOST OF YALL KNOW MY CAR IS TOTALLED AND I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR CELICAS IN THE AREA THAT I CAN BUY, BUT HTE MORE I LOOK INTO IT, I WOULD RATHER HAVE AN MR2... So the coice for the engine is the 5sgte... mainly becaues its bigger displacement and the walls are thicker, coolant passages are routed differently but still join up, thicker passages and no weak spot between cyl head 2 and 3.... this means i can boost high, run nitrous and race gas without much worry of cracking the block! yay!

Depending on condition and trim, some "restored" MR2's can go for well over $10,000. Most I've seen in FL go for about $5,000. Obviously the newer the car the better, 93+ would be the best if you have the money.
Non turbo MR2's have the 2.2L 5SFE while turbo models have the Gen II 3SGTE. Check out the MR2oc for more info. -Colin |
