Mr2 and 2zzge are one of the best combos ever! Are you doing any engine mods?I've seen a couple of these setups on the Best motoring dvds and they fly.

Cheers Brendon

They both look killer, awesome work, lovin the colours!!

Nice to see he wears a mask whilst spraying!

^^^^ hardcore

Josh I was just about to type the exact same thing you can die from that stuff!!!!

isocyanate free 2k base coats , don't really need to wear a mask...
it's the clear that makes you cough

photo quality is pretty crap , but it looks real good off the gun..
colour is nice too...

I think thats the one i saw down there too, does it have a turbo strapped to it ? Looks awesome in person

bit off an update, got my ecu today so hopefully should have it on the rd next week, woo hoo

cool, take a pic of it as it lays now man

got exhaust done woohoo, also got wheels
enjoy
its 2 1/2 all the way
wheels 18x7.5

How does it sound now!!!!????

Must sound awesome, bounce it off the rev limiter for me.... VVti goodness.

Pics of wheels ??

Awesome Midship.

Can't wait to go for a ride in it when you've got everything running smoothly.

NICE very very nice, and great job with choosing that front bumper.

Is it running with the standard gearbox- ie/ sequential manual box without clutch?

Or does it have a celica 2zz gear box?

MMM, just realised that, that front bumper is a porsche style, looks hot!

now after 1yr+ ive decided too update
got a bit lazy

liking that mate whats the end plans for it?

love the colour

Hey,

So this is an engine conversion? What do the aus spec ones come with. Looking at personally importing a jap spec. Loving them.

Thanks,

the aussie ones are 1zzfe, as opposed to 2zzge? i know its 1zz vs 2zz, not sure about the fe vs ge though

I've been researching and i don't think you can buy them with the 2zz (which I thought you could)

Not worth personally importing, might find a cheap one at auction here and possibly do the conversion.

Thanks,

Okay, never came out with 2ZZ and I'm not even sure if you can buy a straight manual one in Australia

More info on the build would be great.

You want to sell yours ralyrt?

Thanks,

more info u want ok
your right mr2 never came with the 2zz, and we only got the smt version not the proper manual,mies an import.
i bought mine bout 3 yrs ago, then took it off the road to build it up, was suppose to take couple of months, but sh*t happens, painter lies, parts dont come on time, etc
car finished in july 06,regoed got renewed in aug, lost my licience in june, got them bac in dec, drove the car for 2 weeks, on new yrs day coming bac from work, some commodore decides to take my lane, i get tapped at the back, causing my car to spin out, the climbing a gutter, lucky it wasnt those big ones,
its taken me 9 month to put back on the road due to funds( neither party was insured) so now its better than ever, lucky for me there was no major structure, chasiss on these cars are very stronger, so it was just replace the bent bits, which suprisingly it was 4x struts and 1 tie end rod, and cause it was so low, the kit suffered a bit, so i just bought a new kit, kept old one for memories
now the car is bac to normal
so far this is wat i have in it
exterior:
custom candy aqua blue painted in and out
after market kit
03 side vents
03 rear bar
03 taillights
clear side indicators
18" shadow chrome wheels
suspension:
had cusco zero 2 coilover, but 1 got damaged, so replace all 4 with stock struts and super low king springs
has stock sway bars and strut bar
interior:
red door trims
2000 celica seats
pioneer head unit mp3
and boss speakers
engine wise:
04 sportivo corrolla engine
sportivo cvs
2.75" intake
ive kept the standard mr2 box due to having an lsd,
its better to have a 6 speed in there, i do have 1 but
no lsd, so thats why ive kept it
i was running a stardard ecu,, its was quck, but
now ive got a power fc, damn this thing is a machne.
im runnng modyfied corolla headers with a high flow cat and custom 2.5" exhuast, finishing into a duel 3.5" tips,
expect power is about 120kw atw, ill be going to the duno this sat, will update with movie and figures
1/4 mile , expecting low 14s, will do after tafe finishes, its fast than my turbo starlet, which is a high 14s car

i know there's alot of things i havent mentioned, car will go for sale around mid dec, got afew little things to sort out,
people ask why i did the 2zz conversion, i tell'em i chose it over turbo, because of reliability, my bro has a turbo 1, yes its fast,but u have to consistly check this ,check that, it get annoying, i just wanna get in, a drive away, with out worrying to see if its smoking or boost leak etc
when it comes to cars, im very picky, car must be 100% before i decide to part with it
damn ive wrote so much, more pics will be up, so if u got any questions let me know
cheers

bit of a update
hii the dyno today with my new intake, which will make u melt when u hear it
any i pulled 122 atw or 162 hp atw
wel ppost sheets later and also got it on vid
cheers

cool! sounds great!
how hard was it to get the corolla sportivo engine? was it an expensive choice? congrats on ur dyno reads!

Love the 2ZZ-GE.. just doing a conversion into my mates MKII escort at the moment.. although this one we've done a custom set of tuned length pipes, and some quads from a 20v 4AGE..

they are an awsome engine, especially when you start pulling them down.. for example did you know they come factory with a crank main bearing girdle??

bit of update
dyno vid added
it does get expensive, when going for na power

fck me your lucky to be able to type ! is all concerned ok? sh!t mate

what happened! what a beautiful car

Ah man thats f*cked.
Good luck sorting something out.

Mundi

you cant post pics like that and not tell the story behind them!!

that poor car you alright?

oh yeah i hope you're okay too!!

welll I don't know wat happened ,I was at work when this happened , my bro was driving , he lost control and went straight into a pole ( street sign), he survived , thank god , he suffered with 1 broken leg, and a dislocated shoulder, apart from that doctors have given him the all clearly, here's been in hospital for just over aweek and counting, well can't say much bout the car, its demolished, its a total loss for me,o well, as long as my bro is ok, could care less bout the car......

wow thats a big hit, on the drivers side too

glad your brother is ok

driver was my brother, he sustained leg injuries thats it and dislocated shoulder, so his very luck, his leg was only 20% hanging on, after 5 hrs of surgery , every part was re-attached, so his slowly recovering .... no other parties were invovled.

aw wow i hope he gets full recovery and rehab isn't too hard! i think i can see blood accidents are terrible!
