Camry 1mz weighs in @ 401 lbs, the 3 vz weighs in @ 469 lbs. From what I've been told the 1mz is 40 lbs lighter than a 3sg-te, so your'e looking at 440 lbs. Not sure if that includes all the plumbing associated with the 3sg-te.

Above from another forum.


That is as heavy as the rover so to get the handling back on track all that needs to be done is to shove it back and get it as low as possible and all will be well. Simples.
Also n/a 200hp 2ltr is getting nasty in terms of being street friendly, the rover could be nearly 300hp and still be a nice tractable street engine.
