damn, i wanted to see this happen

[SamE30e]

the SHOgun was a festiva yes? No, just a taurus swap. Do you know how hard it is to find a GOOD taurus transmission???

My brother had a b6t festiva, running on Electromotive tec-II. Put down 300whp. Then he parted it out.

[SpasticDwarf]

So you gave up?

Weak.

I will probably still test fit the e30 shell that I have with the FD stuff and post some pics so you guys can see.

If you have a rebuit 13B-REW, tranny, turbo, manifolds, etc. that's set up and ready to fit into an E30 shell, please send me a PM. I would be interested in taking on the project.

Hey man, keep up the goodwork, my dream was to have a turbo 20b or 13b in an e30. I'm gonna keep an eye on this thread, good luck!!

No no I dont really think of myself as a rice boy
I just miss my boooooost the mr2 just has this feeling with the 3s behind you on an uphill twisty thats just like nothing else at least that ive driven
i think for a car that can be bought for under $4k the MR2 is hard to beat.
but an FD its hot, handles great and sells for a ton (when running) thats probably going to be my bet

Man, I was looking forward to seeing this come to fruition. Why not finish the swap into the other shell that you have? You can still be a ricer and drive an e30, I see that shit every day.

Julien has offered to buy back my e30 i just got LOL so now the decision must be made.
1. continue with e30 swap
2. sell and buy FD rolling shell???

3. swap SHO motor into your E30

:p

Well guys I think this has become an FD project. Redbull bought back my 325is we'll see what happens I'm kinda up in the air about where to go from here but must likely im going to find myself either back into an MR2 and selling my keg/swap or finding an FD shell for a reasonable price and putting my swap into it. I suppose the truth is I'm a rice boy. But I miss my boostin T top'n mr2 and I actually got an offer to buy back my 1st one today so most likely that will happen. I will probably still test fit the e30 shell that I have with the FD stuff and post some pics so you guys can see.

owned a 93 mr2 turbo and i know how you feel.

after college im doing a full build on one, or finding a nice condition non turbo and swappin the 3sgte myself (much cheaper then the actual turbo model lol).

i do not understand how you can even call an mr2 "rice" its mid engine, turbocharged, and has the title the street legal go kart.

handles like a fuckin demon, and if you do a nice 3 inch turboback + swap turbo for a fast spooling garrett, youll easily see over 200whp.

go mr2!
