The newest addition to my collection

[RichieRichJP]

I'm officially moving the Camry turbo project off to the '91 Turbo MR2 t-top.
I picked up this rolling shell for $1500 w/ a Greddy SMIC kit and a spare e153.
If I ever trash the MR2, the motor will be ready to swap into the Camry since I have all of the parts to make it work. I'm going to keep it a sleeper until I can find myself another job so I can get a widebody kit and some Volks.

Dude, all of the pictures are in my gallery!

nice! When did you get the 240? Man I wish mine was white...

[RichieRichJP]

Damon, that's actually the 2nd 240! That's a junker that has a SR20DET swap in it and it's being pulled and swapped into my older bro's car. I'll upload a pic whenever my little bro gets his RX7 FD back from the garage.

Edit: imageshack sucks. They keep deleting the pictures...

Update!
After about 100hrs of gutting, interior washing, rewiring, repairs and shit tons of modding, here is the MR2 sits right now...still not finished thanks to MCS since I STILL haven't gotten my block.

I also have a Berk Technologies Dual Exhaust and an EMS Powered Engine Lid shroud w/ dual 11" SPAL fans. Haven't had the time to take pics..

I pulled about 100ft or more of wiring that was extraneous and some that went absolutely no where. Once I did that, I wired in all of those gauges which took forever, mainly because I was learning how to take out the dash and reinstall it. I repainted all of the interior after shampooing it about 4 times. I pulled the fuel tank and wired in the fuel pump, which also took forever. I wired it so that it would always run at maximum efficiency and upgraded the wiring to it. I wired the all of the MSD ignition components into the wiring harness in my trunk and it is 2-step ready. I just need to figure out how I'm going to attach the AEM EMS in there with a bracket so no one can just pull it out and run.
So right now, I'm buying all of the engine parts and putting everything together. It's kind of hard because without the block, I had to look at Toyodiy.com and select out everything I didn't have, order the parts or try find people with the parts. To my luck, most of the parts I am looking for are moderately hard to find used.
In the process of doing the fuel pump swap, I noticed that the passenger side mount for the front sway bar has partially ripped out. One bolt it attached to the hole, the other basically peeled back the metal on the frame. So now I'm going to have to get a welder for that >

As promised.


Took 4 months to get my bro's car out of that garage. Apparently, the motor was competely fudged but it ran and would overheat after 5-10mins. There was no oil pressure and apparently the rotor was missing teeth too. So we were ripped off and had to pay $9000 to get a rebuilt Japanese engine, rip out the EGR stuff and something else with the turbos. Instead of both running simultaneously, one spools and runs before the other one does. The battery was relocated to the rear and to our amazement, the temperature different was as much as 10C!
