Ok I need mr2 turbo axles to complete my swap, do they exist? They have been on order for 2 weeks now.
yes, they exist.

Sweet now I just have to find a set.
Would you like some recommendations on where to look?

Sure but these are places I tried,

NAPA
Autozone
Pepboys
Advanced Auto
TapRecycling(to far away if worst comes to worst I can get from them)
Jarco
Car-part.com

So if you mention any of those I will come over to your house, take your car, and kick you in the forhead! >smile.gif>
I would like to see that. Anyway, try (530) 342-3830 and ask for Josh. He will hook you up.

By the way, did you get your mount issues squared away?

Yep. The MR2 parts superstore. I know you had a bad experience super....but you are the only one I have ever heard of. I bought some stuff off him and he did a nice job.

I could do it, I ate my steroids and wheaties today, plus I am trained in the art of ghetto hotwiring, ninjitsu, and I am big gangstapalegic rap fan. >smile.gif>

Are they open on weekends J?

On the mounts I'll post later about if they worked or not.
Also on a side note how do you remove the mechanical speedo sensor and replace it with the electronic one?

its a one man shop called Chico race works. You can see the website at www.chicoraceworks.com. I have no idea about the speedo issue.

Ok my axles are on order and are supposed to be here on weds. So my car should be done by this weekend.

I say supposed to be here on weds. because they were on order from autozone for 2 weeks.

On the mounts if you use the st185 crossmember with the e153 tranny, 3 of the mounts will like up and fit fine, you will have to do a custom mount for one of them. Which is what I had done.
