from what i've read, the 3sgte swap is expensive... not only that, not many people have done this (especially in the north east... PA etc)... so I've been thinking about the alternatives, and if I buy an mr2 turbo (the entire car) and work on that, would that be the smarter investment? I know it has greater power potential than the 3sgte in quarter mi. time. what do you think?
im also concerned about emissions, so thats why a US mr2 sounds like a better option. This post has been edited by powerkor: Nov 21, 2004 - 3:49 PM |

Isn't the MR2 Turbo only heavier because it has the 3s-gte in it? I'm pretty sure the non-turbo MR2's are lighter than GT/ST Celicas. So a swapped Celica with the 3s-gte should be heavier than an MR2 Turbo.
If you are eager to learn a lot about your car, go with the swap. Also make sure you have plenty of money and time to spare. Otherwise I would go with the MR2 Turbo. If it was me, I would go with the MR2 because it's cheaper, RWD, a 2-seater, has better handling, and has t-tops  Of course, it'll never beat the looks of a freshly washed and waxed shiny (preferrably black) 6th gen.
