yea i was looking at a few mr2s my self but i like that higher end car a bit better and the more unique cars. like the rx7 because of its rotory engine i just brought my car in the auto shop today and so many kids were like how many cylinders is that and i laugh and tell them two (my alt. belt broke again for the third time so its gonna be in there for a while till i can get time to put the belt on)

I had an FD for a long time, and I'll buy another one after college. But, that "higher end car" usually result's in, higher maintenence cost's, higher insurance rate's, not to mention, all the unwanted attention from people/police I got. And as far as uniqueness, I don't see too many 450+whp MR2's running around.

since u guys are on the mr2 subject, and im looking at a 3sgte engine for a possible swap, not into a rotary. what is the engine tranny combo/config like. i read its a mid engine setup(duh) with a FF tranny?? is that true...



and can/has the engine been placed in a FR config, that u guys know off?

IIRC JGTC supras use those motors.

I've seen a few tuner's in Japan, (Top Secret and Trial) use the 3s in MK4 Supra's with good success.
