it is a monumental mother of all pains in the ass. I owned a 165. doing an engine swap in that car threw me into a depression I couldnt get out of for two years.

funny... when i decided to swap engines in my supra, i spent about 20 minues trying to figure out how the hell i was going to get the front end high enough to drop the engine... doh! ill see if i can dig up some pis of my last mr2... big wang and all. still, i prefer wingless... always have...

actually the chassis and suspension are in excellent shape. the engine has some bottom end issues though... thats why I got such a great deal on it.

I believe this will be the 12th MR2 Ive owned. LOL

more pics when I actually get it home in about a week.

dont worry jeff. the supra will be finished. i just have to wait till its done and i actually get to drive it before i decide what to do with it. its such a different beast than the aw11 (mine would be an SW11 i guess) that i cant make a decision til its done. im so used to driving mr2s that i...

ill get some more pics, but it should be home next week. its got a decent suspension under it, new braking sys, new steering, new azenis, etc. biggest thing is NO rust. its capable as an autox car but the swap puts it in a mod class which puts it up against some stiff competition. im just lookin...

so Ive been in the Supra for about a year and a half.... but the MR2 world always seems to draw me back... and heres why I bought it... thats a 1991 3sgte with an alltrac A2W in it. :) This comes at a time when Im in the middle of a 2j swap, so who knows whats gonna happen with...

holy shit, your car has a tramp stamp! DAMN! Id hit that. I have no idea why this is so funnt but I cant stop laughing.

i have no experience with crower, but ive seen pauters take some unbelievable abuse...

who rebuilt it? what finish did they useon the cylinder walls? check for excessive blowby... easy way it to start the car and pull the oil cap off and see how much air comes out. also why did you rebuild? its possible the oil is left over from whatever catastrophic event caused the rebuild.

Well, after spending the day pulling the engine and the night helping matt mount his new downpipe and figure out his lower intercooler pipe had blown off, I decided I was too tired to go home, so I slept in the warehouse... Woke up and someone had broken into my scion and stolen all my tools...

check out the pic of the block.... Ill be pulling the pan next week, but correct me if Im wrong.... those pistons should not be in those positions right?... :) Also, check out that engine bay. this car seriously needs a cleaning.All that crap is from the PO driving the car with BHG and a hole...

Whew, Long day. Accomplished my primary goal today, which was to pull the 7m out of the car. I found several surprises along the way though. #1 - the hoist I bought was missing some very important braces, so that was a nice interruption to run to harbor freight before they closed. got it...

:nono:

you can do whatever you want, but you may not get the desired results. many people here have made custom exhausts... search and ye shall find. MS Paint FTW.

1. You have a kick ass wife. 2. It looks like the installed pics and the laid out pics are different. the pic on the car shows 2 *90 degree bends and the other pic only shows 1*90 deg bend... 3. I suggest starting at the tb and working your way back. from there. 4. Ive always been...

deathwine? wtf happened?

Whatup Sideshow? :D

Harbor Freight is Gods Gift to Man! I picked up a new cherry picker and engine stand today, got a few other random tools as well, my favorite being the led head-mounted flashlight. WOOHOO! pics coming asap. So I got all this stuff assembled, which was more of a pain in the ass than I thought...
