Zai, it's ok. At least I know what happened saturday night! Sorry I didn't have it to the shop and storage today. I had 2 tests to do for an online class, plus I had to read 2 chapters for 1 class @ psu, 6 for another and 1 for a 3rd, plus do 4 excel assignments...and yeah...

What's planned for next weekend? I'll try to make it down there and go to storage with you guys if I have a break (this term is killing me...)

Thanks for the compliment. I'm not going to claim it on my insurance. I haven't made a claim in 7 or 8 years and don't want to make one now. I'll take the hit and somehow fix the damage out of my own pocket

BTW, how'd you get an MR2 for $250??

sinESter · 10-20-2008, 08:12 PM

so i found a whole 3vz-fe for 650. and a 1mz out of a 99 solara for about the same.
after reading the 3vz seems pretty reliable.
hows the 1mz?

which is easiest to swap?
ive been researching like crazy but you guys know best

BTW ITS NICE TO HAVE INTERNET AGAIN HAHA.

but now i dont need anything 5s related.

think its worth to try to fix the 5s with a new rod and sell it, or just sell it as is with the bad rod stud?

ive also got the SSAC headers and B pipe.
also the nicely routed air intake piping.
as well as 2 n/a mufflers and 1 turbo muffler.

suggestions?

mr2greasemonkey · 10-21-2008, 02:01 PM

3vz would be easiest. You can use yr stock trans/axles. 3vz camry flywheel. You'll need a dash harness or the dash harness connectors that go to the computer. All the engine electronics ie: igniter, maf, alternator, O2s.

FYI: I'm gonna be outta town this weekend so if anyone needs anything, hit me up before friday.

Nice find Seth, damned I'm jealous, hah.

Seth W · 10-21-2008, 06:19 PM

Thats why I never mentioned it to anyone over the weekend

yeah it is a killer deal just need to work out the paper work stuff. I figured I'd do a auto-x build/DD out of it and do mine into more of how your's is but not as extreme. If it works for your schedule maybe next week we could fart around on the wiring part of it. Supposedly it does run or did until some wires fried....but all in all not to bad.

I figured I'd do some urethane bushings on it and some koni's with a ST front sway bar and other than that and the brake system call it good.

sinESter · 10-23-2008, 12:44 AM

well i got my 5sfe and some other stuff sold, so i can pick that 3vz up hehehe.

Crispin · 10-24-2008, 02:50 PM

Wow... good find Seth... gratz
