Ok so I found an MR2, but it is non-turbo. Any way to have it ref'd with a stock turbo engine?
It is at a price that is unbeatable, and I wanted a turbo for now, but the price is so hard to beat, I dunno what to do. So I ask, get a really sweet deal on an MR2 period? The point was to be a DD while I fix up my Celica (swap, etc...) and then fix on the MR2 as the next project. Wanted specifically a turbo for speed and legally smog reasons, but I dunno. Please, what do you think I should do? I might need a poll here. I need to know by this Thursday!! The sooner the better for me. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204

how great of a deal is it?
Look at the cost of a orginal mr2 turbo these days. mr2 turbo At the resonable price its around 6-10 grand. So can you legally convert a N/a mr2 to a turbo using OEM parts? |

So can you legally convert a N/a mr2 to a turbo using OEM parts? What if I told you it is a non-turbo for $1k? Only problems is switch for driver window, passenger window needs to be replaced from being broken, a cat put on the car, and driver side fender has a dent. Wow a total of $500 maybe. So $1.5k total spent? Yeah.... It's too late though. I have already thought it out and that price is unbeatable for the little problems with it. Other than that, the body is CLEAN! SO I told the guy I will drive down tomorrow to pay him, get the pink slip, and come back Saturday to pick it up when I have a driver. That way I can make it to the meet for Friday. 2 people are coming to look at it before he said to give him the call. So if they don't put that money in his hand, I am coming down there and doing it myself. If someone does take it, then I will have to wait until Jan when I can get more money and try to get an MR2 turbo (which I can generally find for $2.5-4k).
