no secret to what im doing with my car. redtop it is, unless i can prove that they are the same, and i can find a redtop exhaust manifold and downpipe for a considerably cheaper price than the difference between the greytop and redtop... seems to onle be a few hundred difference from shopping around...
and is it just me or did everyone buy their Beams yesterday?? there were a bunch of them on ebay when i went to work yesterday morning, now there are only like half of them... guess I'll be waiting even longer, at least myh 5s/truck motor is still running perfect and im not without my two

To find a MR2 Red Top will be hard. But the high priced ones are usually whole clips rear end with everything.
If you want the closest to it, l would go for the Celica one.
A couple of things need to be changed to suit but easily done. If however you want it to look exactly as the MR2 one then it will be dearer.
The Grey top would be my last option as it will need more parts.
BUT the engines are all the same basically except the last 2 are front driven.
PLEASE remember one thing these engines are approaching 10 years old. They will have RUST, salt oxidation , etc.
So there will be items needed to inspect and change.
I paid a lot for my clip and expected the so called low mileage 10,000 miles that the engine would be exceptional. No way in my opinion. If i knew what l know now l could have saved myself 1,000's of dollars.
If your car is running your in a good position to take time , so look carefully and good luck. They are out there
