USA New here just got my MKI

Hey,
Just found this place. Found lots of info. I just picked up a MKI that runs and drives great from a guy who had it in his barn. What woudl you do first for perfomance upgrades? I was thinking about an engin swap. I am not sure though. I was thinking about crammin in a supercharged 3800 from a Grand prix GTP. Anyone done this yet?

As far as I know, that would not be worth it.. as a lot of things would need to be changed for it to fit and work properly. Just because you think it would work good in your mr2, that doesn't mean it'll fit or even work.

I think the 3sgte fits the gen1? Sorry, I don't know much about mr2's. *forgive me*
