We purchased this 60k mile 1993 Toyota MR-2 a month and a half ago. Unfortunately during our early ownership of the car, a piston ring decided to peace out and leave the car smoking and not running well.
After tossing around more than a few options, the car was shipped out to TCS Motorsports in Kentucky where the turbo engine was removed. A low mileage 2014 Lexus ES350 is now without a heart, however, it’s big V6 now lives on in the MR2. This 2GR-FE makes great noises, pulls like a freight train, and even lost 100 lbs over the original turbo engine. Making a mere 282 whp and 250 wtq in this light weight package is a SUPER fun recipe.
Car is not currently for sale. We believe we’re going to enjoy this one for a little bit given all the effort that has gone behind this car to make it whole and a half!!
Hoping to do more intimate updates like this with some of our inventory for 2024 as we really should be documenting some of the neat things we come across in this business.
