Re: SOLD
This'll go quick!
As an FYI to all the warriors out there that say you can buy an 5s engine for peanuts- I imported 4 engines on a crate from the states with a friend and got them for a decent rate, but even buying 4 still cost nearly a grand EACH, plus a massive ball-ache. Individually it would be more.
Or those that say"oh mehh, you get a whole car for £500" - Go find a Y2K Camry now, get it home, remove the engine, split it, get the shell scrapped and after you've done that whilst realising you won't get a penny back from any other parts on it, tell me it was worth all your time for the sake of a few quid. Trust me, it's not!
I have 2 regrets from my MR2 ownership:
1) Not going 5s from the start
2) Not buying a block from the UK when i had the chance. In 2 years of searching i was offered 1 battered early block, and another early block.
