Alright, I'll try to keep this short...
I bought a 2001 MR2 Spyder late last summer...kitted it, lowered it, exhaust, short shifter, etc...anyhow, I just brought it out of storage for spring, and last night I seized up the engine. I was wondering, as I am not familiar with the car yet, what options I have. I was thinking about rebuilding and was wondering what that would cost, what parts I should use, where I could have it done (I live in Michigan by the way)...really, any information will help. I was also thinking about doing a swap...I've heard the Celica GT-S engine is popular. What do those cost? Where could I/should I get one? Would I need a new trans? Any other good swap ideas?
Anyhow, I need all the help I can get...summer is coming up soon, and I need to be able to drive my Spyder! PLEASE HELP! Any information helps!
Thanks in advance...
PM me if at all possible...
