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!

I talk to the lady before, she would only go down to 1500 min. Its not hard to convert that to a manual. It's not a bad deal for a mr2 in that shape. Paint just needs to be rebuff. If you plan on getting someone else's project, I would reconsider, cause you don't know what kind of work has been done to it.

don't look at the nadas though, sometime it means nothing. Mr2 are getting more rare everyday, cause some loser is parting it out to make money or kids that think they can drift a mid engine chassis.
