Thats cool to hear....recently I've been on an MR2 Turbo kick, and thought that I would sell the Celica in the spring for one. But, if I could pay one of you guys or Dave to give me a hand with the swap, I would rather keep the Celica and git r' done. wink.gif

BTW, for those with the MR2 tranny....what is the difference in gear ratios compared to the GT transmission? I've heard that the MR2T has a little longer gear ratios but im not sure how true that is.
