Hey There!

analogvoid · 09-23-2006, 02:26 PM

Hey, i'm new here.. just stopping in to say hi. Currently drive a 2002 Celica GT-S. I originally wanted a SW20. I've actually wanted one since I was about 12 years old haha. I'm 23 now, so i'm looking to possibly buy an N/A model in good condition and do a GEN3 swap. I'm going to be reading the forums for advice.

There she is.. I have a quick question.. Is there any serious disadvantage to swapping a GEN3 3S into USDM NA MR2 rather than a Turbo MR2? Thanks!

NA cars had smaller brakes, a different tranny. There'll be more wiring to do.

Some others who've done the swap will know more

difference in parts, the 3rd gen has some parts that you can't get here unless you order through japan and have to wait a little while to recieve it. Just make sure you source some extra parts before you do the swap.

Do a search on the Gen3, there should be a few big threads. There are tradeoffs to everything. I personally LOVE my Gen3, and I really would not want anything else. It responds so quickly, and runs so smoothly. It really feels like it has more power than it does. I don't know how to explain it other than that it's awesome... And I think I need to change my tagline under my avatar to "Gen3 Fanboy."
