Look at the engine!

No front fog lights

Sunroof

Engine Code-3SFE for slower model, 3SGE for normal, 3SGTE for the dogs dangleys!
Top end perfomance will be different. Dont think there is a huge amount between the FE and GE at low speed (upto 3040)

Check with REDMR2. He had an FE b4 i think.

Yea whats wrong with the 120horses mr2! I have one and its fairy nippy, and has a nice bit of low down grunt, great for driving round town, and fuel economy is good... Also labour for work on the engine is cheapish, as the access is better than the later cars.

Keep your eyes peeled for the 3s-FE writing on the cam cover! The engines look pretty different though I dont have any photos!

lol sorry mate!! Not trying to diss your car but i am looking for the 160bhp one and was wondering how i would know if i got one or not.

Thanks for all your replies

I'm only messin dude

Don't forget, I had a 3SFE too

My mate in Kent had a Mk2 with the 3SFE engine, and he loved it as it gave him the look and feel of a sports car without the insurance and fuel costs of the 3SGE MR2s.

[chris99]
