that's a strange looking 3SGTE, is it off an ST165..?


either way, I am awe, I LOVE MKI MR2's...

usually you see 88 and ups being modified with the pre 88's receiving no love, but yours is nice and original, keep up the good work!

 

[ArmandoP]

its out of a 92 MR2 (second gen)... just has alot of non-OEM parts on it.

The 85 and 86 are the ones to play with... save a couple hundred pounds.

THANKS!

[HommerSimpson]

[b'smk3]

looks like its coming along well... like the motor work alot

 

[rumptis]

Lookin good dude...can't wait to see this in person!

 

[ArmandoP]

Should be back in Indy next week. I have a tune from a previously built car that we will be using as a starting point... That car had cams though, and it made 390 to the wheels. That will not be enough for long, but it will be enough to start enjoying the car before I throw some cams in and hit the dyno.

 

[rumptis]

Awesome, maybe I could swing by next weekend and take a look at it. I also need to go bug Jeffy some anyways so maybe we can have a mini meet.....wish I could have made the meet this weekend :-(
