So now what Options

Ok..So Jarco is out of st185 clips for atleast a month maybe longer, and I'm running out of time. What would I be missing if I went with an MR2 clip? They're soo much cheaper.

i cant tell you what you would be missing but if you could i would go with the 3rd gen mr2 clip because you'll siting on a LSD tranny =)

I know..which makes me wanna get it..But there's gotta be some **** missing..Axles atleast..but maybe more than that. Someone tell me please!

you know there are MANY more places then jarco....

[InfamousChappy]

jarcos appeal is that i can drive there and haul the clip back.whats wrong with the mr2 clip?

[playr158]

alternator, P/S pump, water pump is weird from what i remember (i thinks) and the dip stick is supposably on the wrong side....

I would spend the extra money in gas to just go pick up a clip from another place rather than trying to mess with an mr2 clip. i know its not that much different, but it seems like it would come out the same, and its just less to work on. I would look around at some other places first. I know theres Superior in texas...

Here's the deal..I'm gonna pop the head of the engine this weekend. It was still running, just not well. Hopefully I can just replace a piston rod and atleast have it running for a little while. In the meantime...I'm looking deeper into the 3SGTE swap using a st185 not an MR2..And will probably wait on Jarco because texas period is a long haul. Jarco is less than a days trip there and back from me, and I trust in how they do business.

I'm not ready to jump into a sea of debt over a car.

you know all places that sell....deliver right?

[celica47]

i dont blame him for wanting to pick his clip up, i mean **** hes saving money iam not sure how much jarco charges for shipping but i know places i have looked into is ridiculus.

hey i just wanted to mention that there is guy trying to sell an 3sgte, he claims that it has everything you need for the swap. Something you may want to look into if youre in dire need of a new engine. Look in the buy///sell thread, i believe his user name is toyotaca

Yea..So I'm gonna spend the minimum and just get my car running right now. my mechanic is working on it tommorow. Go back to my original plan before my engine crapped out and get some rims, springs, and shocks. Maybe this summer when I have time to plan, save, and prepare will I do a swap.
