I heard those hardtop turbo's were pretty rare, but congrats on your SC! Have any plans for it yet?

Why didn't you try keeping both cars? If I ever get my SC up and running again, hopefully I will be able to keep both cars. My younger brother also went from an MR2 with a 3sgte swap to a SC300 as well. Anyway, you'll definitely enjoy the SC, especially with force induction if you ever decide to go that route. Also, the SC is a lot easier to work on versus the mr2!

Out of curiousity, how much power was your mr2 making?
