91 Swap, built engine, Gram Lights, amazing car!
Vehicle Location: Atlanta, GA
Vehicle Price: $13,500
Vehicle Odometer: 207,XXX

So here's the short story, you can contact me if you are interested and I'll be happy to go into as much detail as you wish.

Originally bought in 2000 all original 5SFE with 134,000 miles.
Swapped in 2004 to a 92 JDM 3SGTE supplied by Jarco with 156,000Km (~9X,XXX miles) harness from kick panel back installed including turbo fuel pump
Christmas of 2006 the entire engine was rebuilt (over $3,000 in parts)

The Engine
JDM Gen 2 3SGTE
Bored .020 with JE forged pistons
OEM rods
Balanced rotating asembly
ARP rod bolts
Clevite bearings
Toyota OEM gaskets and o-rings (every last one!)
USDM head fully rebuilt, spec'd, and assembled
KO 2.5" downpipe with bracket (mint shape...no signs of cracks)
Departure Pro II exhaust
New cold start switch
New OEM ECU coolant temp sensor
New OEM gauge coolant temp sensor
New OEM oil and water pump
New OEM thermostat
New OEM coolant hoses front and rear (every last one!)
New OEM Turbo radiator
NGK BKR7E's
New OEM wires, cap, and rotor button
Berk Technology intercooler kit
K&N cone filter bolted to AFM
New turbo intake elbow
CT26 with 46Trim

Enterior
Mercedes Benz "superblack" respray in 2003.
Border urethane front bumper
Diamond clear corners
94+ taillights (bought brand new from partznet...still mint!)
TOMS sideskirts with step fins
OEM turbo engine lid

Suspension
Megan Racing coilovers (1.5 years old)
IROTORS.com drilled and slotted rotors (na brakes)
Earls SS brake lines
Axxis brake pads
High&Tight suspension bushings
Gram Lights 57Pro 17x7 +25mm and 17x8 +40mm
BFGoodrich Gsports 215/40/17, 245/40/17

Interior
2006 model Alpine headunit with CD
Autometer Phantom mechanical boost gauge
Autometer Phantom electronic oil pressure gauge (not completely installed)
ebay Bride steering wheel
MOMO hub adapter
authentic TRD short shifter with TRD ball knob
white face gauges
Infinity Reference 6.5" components
Infinity Reference 3.5" speakers in rear OEM location.

There is alot I'm probably forgetting. The car won BEST OF SHOW MR2 at NOPI in 2004. Not saying NOPI is a measure of caliber It has been daily driven for the past 7 years except for the few months of the swap and then the rebuild. . Approx. 20,000 miles after the rebuild the compression reads normal. The CT26 rebuild is going out and burns quite a bit of oil. I plan to swap in a CT20B within the week. Radiator fans are always on (front sensor needs to be replaced) so the car is cold natured...you shouldn't be dogging it when its cold anyway IMO.

All work on the car including the paint was done by family. My uncle owned a body shop and my father has 30yrs of mechanic experience. Thanks to this car I have become an awesome mechanic myself...it was truly a learning experience.

Point blank I love this car to death, but I'm tired of a modified car for a daily driver. Unless I can make some financial swaps quickly I have to sell in order to purchase another car. I will truly miss the car. You can search and see that I've posted it for sale a few times and always get cold feet. Because of this the price is pretty firm and I'd rather not hear your opinion so keep quiet. Leave this thread for potential buyers...not critics.
Thank you.
-Kyle

Car will also include new inner and outer tie rod ends, ball joints, and new rear tires.

Also I'm currently installing a new OEM alternator into the car.
