Ill have a good look around it sunday anyway and report back here what i think.
Trying to not rush into buying one but the prices are just going up and up at the minute it seems.
Had a na few years ago my next mr2 will be a turbo and will be one of those long time life cars all going well

Engine mounts should be mr2 ones anyway, same goes for other stuff that would be different like the alternator.![]()
It's pretty uncommon to use the NA box to bolt to a turbo motor and honestly if it was I'd avoid the car completely.The turbo gearbox has longer gearing and is much beefier than the na one.
Another thing to find out is what kind of celica gt4 the motor came out, as the ST185 motor would be the equivalent of a rev2 turbo and the ST205 is what the rev3 and onwards cars got.
Race Idiot wrote:Shocks and springs are different from turbo to NA though, the weight distribution is different due to the turbo engine/gearbox being heavier than the na.If you look at lowering springs listed on yahoo japan, there are usually two variants for both na and turbos.
All turbos from Rev2 onwards got Billstein shocks, compared to the NA's which get toyota branded ones which are kyb or tokiko I can't remember exactly which.The only outlier are the anniversary model NA's which did come with Billsteins.
The standard NA setup is very compliant tho, but has way too much bodyroll for my liking.![]()
Anti-roll bars are different from revision iirc, rev2 onwards are thicker but not different from turbo to na.
Also just wondering, if this is a conversion from the GT4 what have they done gearbox wise? Pretty sure you can't use the Celica box? Did they get a mr2 turbo gearbox for it?

If you was keeping standard suspension then maybe standard bushes but i cant see the point if going coilovers anyway
