1991 widebody MR2 96 1MZ swap Frederick MD
Name: jow
Location: Mechanicsville va

Price: $6000
Description:
I'll tell you a bit about it. I traded my red v6 mr2 for this widebody. All the bodywork was done, I swapped a 1mz into this and started driving. I've done six v6-mr2 swaps in the past three years. Didn't know this was previously salvaged, as I bought it off a good friend. He did some great work with the vented hood and the bodywork, but the cracks in the body (the kit is molded) started to emerge and the slight pull is still there. Engine and trans are in great condition. NA mr2 transmissions take up to 300hp, there's a GEN4 turbo for sale here with one installed, 3MZ's and 2GR's are even installed with these with good results. Only bad thing with these 1MZ's is they have over sensitive knock sensors that will pull timing, resulting in lower power under certain running conditions. The interior is clean, but not perfect.
TL;DR: 91 mr2 with 96 1mz v6 swap
no a/c, pulls slighty right, ex salvage,
sounds great, runs great, drives good, looks decent but lots of room for improvement
24 MPG, T-top, widebody, clear fastback engine lid, lots of parts and spares, a real blast to drive.
OBDII port in the trunk. The only trouble codes it throws are automatic transmission related, and an ignition related code due to a full 3mz igniter+coil on plug conversion.
Car does not have a/c. I have many parts available. new drier, a condenser, access to a hose crimper so you can get custom lines made up for the price of parts.
non-turbo 5 speed body with 192k miles
1996 camry 1MZ 3.0L V6 Engine with 179k
Replica TRD2000GT widebody kit is molded, but not free of cracks.
Car was originally black, Interior is black
