27k for an 11 year old car? Mark IV Supra's are nice but so over priced it isn't even funny....

Here is what I am going to do:

Buy a clean N/A MR2 with high miles.
Add:
3.4 v6 liter tacoma (5vzfe) engine
Have it properly rebuilt
GT35R
MR2T tranny
ATS axels
AEM
new clutch kit
new exhaust
new set of wheels and tires
new suspension

= 500+whp beast for under 20k and be in the high 10's. Projected project completion date: 1/1/07.

That will out handle and blow the doors off most Supras.

[bloodrain]

but this supra is sooooo nice.

This guy wanted $30k for his

this is the one for $27k

Jay how is an MR2 (FWD) transmission that mates to S series engines going to bolt up, let alone to a RWD car?

MR2 transmissions are RWD.

Here is a link of a guy that already put a 5vzfe into an MR2 with a MR2T tranny:

I think he means how's a 5vzfe engine thats origionally longitudinally mounted gonna bolt up to a mr-2 tranns that's suitable for engines that are transversely mounted (5sfe)

i think..

Now that I have my daily driver nearly done, I need a weekend car

i think..

They are not mounted longitudinally in a MR2.

hahaha


i think if i was going to build up a power monster, i would go with an alltrac. just because of the awd and the fact that most alltrac guys keep their cars bone stock, so it would be a real sleeper.

the thing i dont like about mr2s is that its almost impossible to fit a good intercooler anywhere on the damn car.

Precision A/W with HUGE heat exchanger. This is too much for sidemounts and trunk mounts are too "hacky" for my taste. I promise that this is going to be one impressive beast.

One thing about the alltrac Art is the finicky nature of the trannys when you put significant power on them. I saw an 11 second alltrac at NA2005 and it was quite impressive (it was even black which gave it big points from me). However, I wouldn't want to maintain that driveline in a high horsepower application.

[lagos]

ive never seen complaints about that tranny ... if anything, based on the massive size of it and that fact that it has to handle much higher loads, i would think it would be just as strong if not stronger then an mr2 trans.
but i agree. its a big tranny and more of a pain to work on .

awd would come in very handy with that kind of power tho, cause you could basically race on street tries most of the time and not have traction to worry about.

No. MR2s are RWD, but the transmission is the same as a FWD because its a mid-engine car. There still is the problem of the engine being in the front, and car being RWD, you'd need a different transmission.

No? I dare you to post that the MR2 transmission is not a RWD transmission on the MR2 board. LOL.

In all seriousness, I understand what you are saying but the V6 is mounted transversely in the MR2 so it bolts up.

[Supersprynt]

So what your saying is that the MR2 transmission, that I have in my car, thats FWD, is a RWD transmission, because its in an MR2, with the engine in the back.

If it bolts up it bolts up, but your missing the problem with the fact that a Supra, which is RWD, needs a RWD transmission, you cant use an stock MR2 transmission, IDK why thats so hard to understand.

[jgreening]

Also, as you know, the MR transmission differs from the FF transmission due to the location of the actuator.

[Supersprynt]

Thats only because the transmission is behind the shifter, not in front. Takes 10mins and requires only unbolting certain pieces to change that.
