    Mk3 Heart-transplant or rebuild. 1JZ-GTE swap or 7M-GTE build? Help.

    Anyone from the ND/MN area?

    I want to find out how many other mk3 owners are in my area because I have only seen 2 other mk3's around here. One was in a junkyard and one was actually driving. It would be nice to meet more owners close by for tech questions/help and even for parts. Maybe we could even do a big cruise like...
