EvoXbmx Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 This is the DOHC 1.6l model. Its a zippy little thing and would make a fine work/winter car. It is black and the hatchback model. It has a push button start because the keys were lost at some point. This car is easy to convert to turbo if you find someone parting out an Isuzu Impulse RS. They go for 3-400 bucks for EVERYTHING! I am installing a new alternator today. Pics and more info to come. Asking 800 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvoXbmx Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 As I recall, these have the 1st gen MR2 engine and close ratio 5 spd. Excellent beater. Actually, the engine is built by Isuzu. Isuzu is primarily a diesel manufacturer so their early engines were strong; forged crank and rods. With the RS turbo setup, 200whp can be seen all day. The new alternator is installed, an aftermarket ignition switch with key now replaces the push button start. I have some brand new strut mounts, Impulse RS springs, magnaflow muffler, and some other stuff I will throw in. Also, the pic shows a doughnut on the right rear wheel: I have all 4 mags and center caps. I just need to get 1 tire repaired. The car has a full tank of gas. 143k miles on the clock. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e346/billycoyote/2010-12-19_165607.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, Isuzu didn't do shit but spiff up a Toyota 4A motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supldys Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Jp, that motor was Steve lockett's, the geo god if you will. I was wondering if you had sold it yet. If you try to put a turbo on that 4xe1, then definitely get the rs motor so you can actually run some boost. Bump for the good deal, too bad I'm in OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
