Buying a $500 91 mr2 non turbo! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

This is a 91 mr2 non-turbo. It's been sitting outside for a while. Crack windshield, electrical problem(tail light doesn't work). Other than that this is a good project car. My plan V6 and J/R superchager.

whoa...sounds like a steal.....how is body condition??....

There are a couple of small dents. Body is pefectly straight. Engine started right up after the first try. Anyone in here with the v6? I need to do some more research. I have a v6 sitting in my shop. Also there is a guy local has a v6 in his mr2 but I doubt it he will share the info. Any pointers?

I will take some pics tomorrow. I figure we will have to do the custom mounts and all that. Is there an article on the v6 swap on Sport Compact Car?

I think I read about this actually, but I was reading the actual Magazine, I think this is the issue where they hack-saw the hell out of that Sentra and drop in a 1MZ into the MR2? Is that it?
