Wtb: 94+ sw20 gen 3 in wa
Hi guys
I have been bitten hard by the mr2 bug. Never thought I'd find a car I'd love as much as
my soarers but we may have a contender.
So to cut a long story short how much do you think a 94+ factory gen 3 would set me back, and is there many in wa? Wondering whether to blow $ on my 1990 or just sell and find a gen 3 to spend on. Thanks

Quite rare in WA.. might want to look east for one. If you want a gen 3 save yourself the hassle and get a gen 3. and you're looking at around 13-20k varying in condition :)
I'm sure you've seen the silver one for sale, Definitely not a factory gen 3 (not that there's anything wrong with it)but just answering your question :p

Why not put Gen3 bits into your 1990 and save yourself poo pooloads as most Rev3s are waaay overpriced. Besides, the 1990 handles better anyway  For the amount of money I saved not buying a Rev3/93+ I could rebuild my engine from the ground up and fit an LSD.

Hey guys. Thanks for responses. I think az is out of my range. Any others? Don't like silver one coz it's too expensive and is tt. Prdfer hardtop. Mr tubo why do u say mine handles better?
Looks like I may just spend on mine and dp conversion and mods. Coz spending like 5-8k on mine will make it pretty sweet. How much are conversions to gen 3?

whats your reasoning for going gen 3? if your after more power it may be better to spend money on rebuilding your gen2 with forgies then you can throw whatever turbo you like at it.
it's been discussed before, but the only reason to go gen3 halfcut is if you have NA and want a turbo the it's the best bang for buck, but if you already have a turbo and want more power then rebuild the stock gen2 unless you can afford gen3+rebuilding it

Because the early ones handle like proper mid engine sports cars and later ones do not. Toyota "dumbed down" the SW20's '93+ because motoring journos couldn't handle the handling characteristics of a mid-engined sports car.
