    So could I put that into a s13 hatch and would it match right up to the sr? And would there be a lot of grinding and welding and stuff or is it a straight transmission swap?

    I bought a 1990 toyota MR2 for my daily. I got an n/a one with a recently rebuilt motor gets well into 30+ miles a gallon and takes 87 octane.

    If you want good gas milage and a fast car--get two cars.

    Honestly that's the easiest way to do it. Get something cheap/reliable that gets crazy gas milage on 87 octane. Then build something that gets like 7 miles a gallon on c16 but's fast as hell.

    I had mine in an s13 hatch. Its the same as any other sr swap, the only difference is you have to have a custom drive shaft made. but thats only like $150-200 to have made.
