I bought my NA in April of this year, and am loving every bit of it. However, I've never driven a turbo 2 yet so I can't really compare. IGNORANCE IS BLISS....lets just say im not ready to move from weed to crack yet!

Can JDM 3sge be a bolt-on replacement for 5sfe? Would new EUCs and wiring be needed?

i loved my na..

until i drove a turbo...

.. then i realized how crappy the turbo actually was..

then i loved my na again..

until i raced against many turbos.

.. and kept winning and winning and winning.

then i laughed at the turbos!

na FTW.

lol, are you kidding ? In stock form, the Naturally Aspirated Exige runs 0-60 in 4.7 seconds. That's pretty quick, I'd say.

I just traded my 93T with tons and tons of problems for a MINT 91 na. Although the turbo had the power, I like my 91na more. It's simple and like this... 87 octane, 31.5 mpg, practically maintenance free, and insurance is a bit cheaper.

But one day... when the 5sfe dies (that's if it ever dies hahaha), GEN3 SWAP! So for now, I love my NA... but will love a turbo (without issues) a lot more.

I love my n/a, for me its about driving a mid engined car, cheap running costs,
still turns heads and reliable although not the fastest but can't have everything....

It doesn't hate you. It's just giving you an opportunity to show how much you love it by emptying your pockets for you.

Sticking with Toyota's roots...MK1 NA...'Old School'. I'm probably the only one who thinks the MK1 was the best MR2 body yet!
