Toyota Engines
The Mr2 is a front engined drive unit installed directly into the rear- Perhaps like the MG-F.
While original parts are expensive from dealers - the reliability is superior to any other vehicles I have owned. (don't ask!)
Because the original engines were for Rwd vehicles, it is just a matter of removing the front drive gearbox, and installing an earlier bell housing and gearbox to a newer type twin cam ,fuel injected engine.
My present 1600cc 16 valve run-about does 800 kms a week, has no rust, and today will turn 423,000 kms.
Oil changes are from Aeroshell drained from Robinson 22 and 44 helicopter after 25 hours usage, and when I feel like it.
Happy welding,thinking, and building for 2010.
