View Full Version : I got an MR2
well today i went down and picked up my new toy.
It's so damn sexy...and fun to drive.
it's a 91 Yota MR2 with the 2.2L stickshift, already has a short shift kit, rims and exhaust, t-tops, 64,000 miles on it, all the power options, and has been well maintained.
I'm working on finding a new motor to start building, then i'll slowly start on that. but for now i'm going to work on making the car a little quieter. exhaust is a little to loud for my taste.

And yes that tip is coming off, it's going to get a different exhaust all together

Add some aftermarket suspension and that car handles beautiful..
I knew one guy that had a White turbo that was modded and hang with my 93 Rx7 around the entrances to the Highways (Curves) ..

engine shots!
engine shots!if your refering to NO2 that's not going to happen. I'd rather have a motor that's strictly motor/boost

engine shots as in pics lmao
engine shots as in pics lmaotomorrow when there is light out. i'll do a nice photoshoot infront of the house. drive it up on the lawn and all.
mid engines, rule the balance issues. radiator, batteries and some other miscilaneous stuff are in the front. pretty sweet deal.
after browsing the web i found these headlights. they are ok but i'm not to sure about them

leave the body and exterior like it is.. the car is fine how it is
i assume you dont havea boosted one plus i didnt see fog lights on the front from what i could seee..
leave the body and exterior like it is.. the car is fine how it is
i assume you dont havea boosted one plus i didnt see fog lights on the front from what i could seee..no hence the 2.2, thee boosted one was a 2.0L 1998cc
the 2.2 was the motor used in the camry and the non turbo MR2.
I didn't want the turbo mr2 because it was pretty week as far as turbo goes. the 2.2 also has great potential for turboing. and i think i read somewere that the 6cyl from the camry will bolt up to the trani.

car looks good.. and I agree 1 inch. would be enough

the 1mz-fe (6 cyl.) will not bolt to the tranny unless your using the e-153 (tranny) for the turbo mr2. the reason is that not only is the e-153 a stronger better tranny, the non turbo tranny can only handle up to 250 hp, and if u were to u the 1mz-fe with that tranny that u have u would have to drill out the flywheel bolt holes.

yeah i read something to this effect on mr2oc last night, i've been on there a lot reading stuff concerning the specific model that i have.
it seems that I can bolt up just about any motor right to what i have right now without any problems at all. kinda crazy, there are over 3 motors (celica, camry and 93-95 mr2)that yota uses that all i would have to do is pull mine out swap the electronics from min to the new one and drop it right back in.
new pictures added to first post!
Dont know how u can say u dont like the 2.0 if u said u were looking for a motor to put in it as ant would say convert it and drop a 2j lol

now you can compete with bianca and talk about how you are the fastest mr2 out there :) buahaha!

i saw a red mr2 turbo this morning, he kept on sounding off his blow off valve.
i shoulda run him.
what do those things do in the 1/4?
2slo4u
10-19-2005, 02:30 PM
im telling u man toyotas are the best also i just remembered that the retainers are the same in the 5s-fe and 3s-gte so u can use the same retainers and valvesprings and the 5sfe block if i recall is 100mm taller than the 3s-gte so dont think that u can swap 3sgte parts. also the 3sgte head will bolt up if u have i think a 92-95 motor. the 3sgte intake manifold will not bolt up to the 5sfe head so dont think about that. any turbo kit made for the 3sgte will bolt up to the 5sfe only thing that needs to be changed of course is the intercooler piping. the turbo manifolds bolt right up but u will be missing one bolt. the cams are not interchangable due to the fact that the 5sfe is not a true dohc motor whereinfact that it uses web cams. i cant think of anything else been a long day.

you dropped the ball passing on the turbo ones. I don't know what you mean as far as weak. You can rebuild a ct26 to be all the turbo you need. Good luck chosing teh less traveled path and going after a v6 swap.

10-20-2005, 09:57 PM
the max on the ct 26 is 400hp with a new compressor wheel thing.

i would have dropped it but my dad said noyeah your dad is a cool guy and i can see why he does what he does. i give him props.
but I'm 24 and well i've made my mistakes and all, but yeah a 1" drop is the max she will be getting.
the car is friken great man, lovin it. hope you find one for yourself that you'll enjoy the heck out of.

Damn, The car only added 300 to my insurance policy! that's next to nothing. plus with the gas i'll be saving driving it instead of the truck i'll be set. It'll pay for itself right there.
not a bad deal at all.

Very nice! I've always loved those cars, but when I was younger, my dad would always say that they're suicide cars.....and for some reason, that has stuck in my mind even to this day....lol. So having said that....I'd get one....ha ha! :)

most people call them suicide cars because they are so small and potentially if it gets hit hard it wouldn't come out of the accident to well. but yato has designed the car to protect the driver very well. the motor is designed to drop out of the bottom in a rear end collision. and the front is designed to protect the legs of the individual as well.

Dude Is Dat Mr2 Turbo Charged
Dude Is Dat Mr2 Turbo Chargeddude your new here so i'm a be nice and say read the thread. it's discused like 8 times in the couple pages of this thread.
prove it. i want to see a smaller trunk.
dont the newer gen mr2's only have 1 cubic ft of trunk capacity or something?
dont the newer gen mr2's only have 1 cubic ft of trunk capacity or something?the new mr2 has storage only in the front but i believe it's considerably more than what mine has, plus there are 2 lockable storage areas right behind the seats on the new ones. which this is the last year for the mr2 as it is. they are taking it away once again.

just did some research on edmunds right now and they say you have 6.x cubic ft of luggage capacity in your car, the mr2-spyder has 1.9 cubic ft and 2 cubic ft total storage capacity. that would make yours bigger by a lot.

I could swear they have a lot more truck space than that.
i read an article years ago when the car came out that toyota purposely gave it no trunk space so that the owner couldnt throw off the weight balance by putting things in the trunk.
