Hello guys!

What are the latest years turbo MR2's are available in Japan? I'm pretty sure it is 95' in the US, and 99' in Japan.. But I'm not sure.

Someone in here have great knowledge about this, but I don't remember who.

The JDM turbo MR2 (mk2) have the 3S-GTE engine and 245ps (220-230 hp) to my knowledge, and because they are sold after they stopped selling them in the US, they probably have better milage and condition.

A 99' car is today almost 7 years old, and should be really cheap, but everything I can find here in Norway is regular GT's with the 3S-GE engine, and a few GTS with the 2.2 litre 5S-FE engine (and I don't want that.. tongue.gif )

get the 93+ mr2s they come with lsd and has more hp and much better suspension and brakes.

get the 94+ model because athe tail lights are nicer and the frond end is a bit difference you won't notice until you actually own one.

LSD was an option in 93+ MR2's.

The front end changed in 93 too.

The 94+ tail lights are nicer but the 91-93 wing is better IMO.

The suspension was improved in 93 as well.

The brakes in the turbo model were improved in 93.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
