Asad Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 The corolla and starlet were given the 4E-FE...the little engine would have a mammoth task moving a MR2 let alone get the rear wheels spinning up!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 i knowmy mate got an insurance quote on it and it came up as a 1.3 toyota MR2 but i had no clue they made one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mk1kurt Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 had no clue they put a 1.3 in a mr2 it wouldnt move LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riko666 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Infact they didn't, must be a typo - I'm not sure what the UK MR2's used, a 3S-GE I believe? The American n/a's used the 5S-FE which is a 2.2l Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I'd say it's just a silly mistake tbh.Edit - yeah riko the UK MR2's used the 3SGE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gtmuzz Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Im sure any "gt" in the mr2 means 2L n/a Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vince#74-EP82 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Hehe the import declaration is sometimes abit vague or missing. Have seen a 20v 1.6 Levin on the docs as a 5 door karina Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 a pic of the engine bay will settle everything...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 no raised engine bay vents, no air con mentioned, not a import, uk model, 2.0 n/a who you use a 1.3 to shove that, doesnt make sense, sounds like hes pulling your leg or the dvlas for cheap insurance lol, also would make great car for first driver???????????????? engine bay pics needed bet it says toyota 2000 or the top lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gtmuzz Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 use dvla says 1998cc dvla Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulgtt Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 the uk mr2's have the 3sge engine (2.0l)some of the early imports have a 3sfe engine, still a 2.0l but only around 138bhp ishthe seller is obviously on something tbh great first car for a young driver?? yeah if you don't like them very much and want to see them wrapped around tree then maybe it is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Hes having you on.Personally if hes having a laugh about that, when it keeps going wrong (or it becomes clear its dangerous) then hes going to be pissing himself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
