Guest Mekkahfire Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 yea i was going to look at mustangs but im not to into the older body styles. i have around $5500 i ment to put that up there but forgot. Then you're not getting a not-fucked up MR2 Turbo.. lol. And try getting one thats actually turbocharged. The 3SGE is a non-turbo out of an AE86.. You want the 3SGTE. I went through a confusion period after I sold my MR2 turbo.. Didnt know what i wanted to buy. I test drove about ~20 cars (had an awesome time), but there is just nothing that compares, in any way. Plus they're mad cheap to make reallllly fast. Problem is they're starting to have supra-syndrome. Find a good '93 with 80k on the clock and you're paying about $10k. www.mr2trader.com www.mr2board.com www.mr2oc.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcan900 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 If you are on any kind of budget I would stay as far away from 3000GT's and Stealths. They will nickel and dime you to death. If this were to be a summer driver I would go for a mustang or f-body. Do some supporting mods and nitros is a great way to go fast cheap.

simonzayne Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 And try getting one thats actually turbocharged. The 3SGE is a non-turbo out of an AE86.. You want the 3SGTE. I may be wrong but I think the AE86 had a 4ag. I'm pretty sure the 3sge came in late 80's celica gts, but what do I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 78novaman Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 $5500 can go a long way if spent right. If you don't want to be the fastest guy but want to be surprisingly quick with a lot of class, go for an often overlooked car such as: 96-97 T-Bird or Cougar 2V 4.6L (stang motor) 96-98 Mark VIII 4V 4.6L (cobra motor) 97+ Regal GS 3800 series II supercharged (same as GTP/Monte SS) 94-96 Caprice or Roadmaster LT1 (Camaro motor) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3SGE is a non-turbo out of an AE86.. You want the 3SGTE. Wrong.......wrong.......wrong......wrong.... wrong. The 3SGE never came to the US, and FYI they are great NA motors, it just so happens that the 3SGTE is better. My MR2 has a 4AGE, the same one that was in the AE86.

Not the uber-sweet 4AGE's with their whopping ~130hp. 3SGE's are nice because they rev. Then you have a BEAMS... Hmm.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My MR2 has a 4AGE, the same one that was in the AE86. according to Wikipedia and a couple of sites I just searched it was available in the 86-89 Celica GT-S but that's about it. I read a couple posts claiming it was available in Canada in other models but I don't know about that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_3S-GE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
