lol, I've actually been planning an SC v6 swap... but the est cost of $13,000 is holding me back. I'm modeling my swap after what was awarded the #1 sports car of the year a few years back. He had a 3.0L v6 w/ TRD supercharger that could put out 500HP and still managed 41 highway miles to the gallon (stock MR2 gets 28). I'm only aiming for 300-400 hp... but I'll have to graduate college first. (I'm moving to columbus this summer and buying a house w/ my older brother... so I'm saving for that.)

But if you think that's cool... you should check this guy out: http://www.v8mr2.com/

oh and Ice, you'll need some good turbos to out run the racket for your stereo system. :p :ctf:

Damn.. I just wish I had a car that ran right now... I got home from Phoenix yesterday, started her up drove away, and the car died. Wouldn't start again.. she's in the shop right now, and the prognosis isn't looking good... I think the car might need a new motor.. Luckily, the shop mine is at will get Used stuff for me, and put that in, with only the warranty of the work, and not the parts, and I think that's all I'll be able to do right now.. God I hope I don't need a whole new engine.... *Sigh*
