I know at 1800 it was doable no matter what I had to do to get extra money. I found the car yesterday by accident and am buying the next. It just fell into my lap. Made my day for sure

So after reading some info on mr2oc.com I am pretty sure my coolant leak is a hose they call the hose from hell an is a common issue on mr2's and 3sgte's. Its the small 5 inch coolant line for the oil cooler by the oil filter. All the symtoms are the same as the many post I have read. It would be a snap on my celica's 3sgte pull the turbo and manifold and unhook the oil cooler and thats it. Basically the same on a mr2 but will take me double maybe triple the time. The turbo works but has alot of miles so I am thinking If I have to take the parts off for the hose to be fixed I will just put a ct20 and new down pipe/exhaust on at the same time.
Yes. Infact i do.

i wish i could post pictures in real life though. and Theme music. I wish i had theme music. That would be the sh!t.

Otherwise i just go around making people laugh so hard that cheese burger flys outta their noses. (ask STEVEN_LEE) laugh.gif Seriously, like, the cheese was still on the meat with some ketchup and everying. then some ants came and ate it. it was gross.

I can get you the set of turn signals for $110 - 120 from a dealership out of TX, I can tell you exactly who to talk to. Everyone on EBay over prices theres, mine came from a dealership brand new.



OP, That car is beautiful! Welcome to the 6gc/MR2 owner's club! LOL

Thanks all!! Its just sinking in its mine. It rained all day and I wanted to pull the turbo or start to anyway.What sucks is I am not sure what to do with my celica. It has a blown head gasket. But I sold many parts because I thought I was getting a 3rd gen but that did not work out.
So know I am stuck with a broke celica and not enough mony to go around for both cars.
I am missing a ecu,manifold,map sensor,turbo,alternator tensioner and water neck. If I could get these things I could just change the head gasket and be good. The motor was strong. Gues I will make a thread looking for these parts and see how it goes. I have a feeling it will be hard to find the water neck and tensioner.
find a junkyard nearby with a Camry in it and take everything you possibly can.


and if you have problems with the MR2, just yank it all out and put in a V6 like everyone else. Same power, more torque, better fuel economy.

So the water neck on a camery will work tensioner also????

Dont really want to sell the celica but if it came to that I would. Dont want it sitting and just rotting away. body is to clean interior also.

Hopfully a 3rd gen will be in the next pics I post in a week or 2.
