    Default my new mr2...

    well I just picked up a 1991 MR2 N/A the other day. For a 1991 it's really clean, straight body, decent paint. It has chips here and there but what do you expect.

    There will be a genIII 3sgte in there....

    then suspension, wheels and call it a day. I am looking to make it just a fun daily driver.

    Thanks for looking.

    suspension will come, but not my main deal.

    I know I know I know...

    but some struts and springs will be good enough for me....or maybe a set of basic coil overs.

    looks good.. but why would you put a 3sgte in it? it looks like it's a non turbo version you got there but it's kind of hard to tell with those picture quality.. you'll have to change some major components in the engine bay to support the 3sgte motor.. =)

    What kind of things would I have to do to the engine bay to support the 3sgte motor?

    Have you done this swap, can you tell me more?

    The major components you have to switch out are the motor...

    putting a genIII 3sgte in there will be the easiest way to obtain *high* power and not have that many mods. Not to mention my NA motor has almost 200k miles on it and is not a the prime candidate for a turbo

    I know megan racing makes coilovers, but they're like 1200...
