Just wondering, woouldn't a 3SGE engine be better in a MR platform like an MRS since its 2000cc with slightly more torque and power. Is it the cost factor or is the 3SGE unsuitable? Love the 2zzge though, the 3SGE doesn't seem to rev as hard

blasphamy Zee... wash your mouth out,.... think Lotus

I saw 3S-GTE in MR-S, car is in Indonesia. Now that's crazy.

3S-GE BEAMS Twin VVT-i from Toyota RS200 is one revving machine tho, esp when you wind it up to 9000rpm with TRD parts (You seen that on BMI? DAMN ITS HOT!).

But, probably it would ruined the finese balance of MR-S due to heavier engine? 2ZZ-GE is chosen since its easier fitment too I guess, and lightweight in weight for MR-S making it suitable.

I have that BMI vid its awesome that 3SGE, 250bhp, but anything TRD costs a bomb! Anyway i guess the 3SGE hasn't got much more torque on the 2ZZGE anyway, and it incorporates LIFT which the 3SGE hasn't got. Toyota should have developed the MR-S using either of these engines man.. but i guess the 1zz is a BEAMS engine too, all comes down to cost.

I seriously don't know what different BEAMS provide to the engine. My friend brought home Corolla brochure from Japan, and I saw 1NZ-FE, 1ZZ-FE and 2ZZ-GE all have BEAMS - what really is BEAMS?

I guess if MR-S uses 2zz-ge out of showroom, Celica loses its status. The trade off advantage in MR-S is the MR layout and lightweight convertible, but using less powered engine.

i think someone explained what BEAMS stands for before, its something like "Best Engineering ...." don't know the rest nothing really, just seems to be a division that developed these engines.

Straight from Toyota Japan's website

BEAMS : Breakthrough Engine with Advanced Mechanism System (the same aerodynamic volume displacement class worldwide top-level engine which assures the harmony with the society)

That does not explain anything

Oh wellz.

haha i was way off too

fwoar omg i want a mrs with 2zz thats my dream congrats man thats friggin awsome
get some sussy right away!

in bmi the 2zz mrs beat a 300kw s15 in the touge its daym quick! nearly beat it on the circut too they are fast. thats the only thing the mrs was missing.. LIFT! lol

the spider chat links don't work

try now
ill update it when i think its finished, which is not far away, still need to go and get blue slip
cheers

was the original gearbox retained?

yes for now, 6 speed and lsd will be coming soon,
this thing screams

I vote to keep the space savers all round when its complete

But seriously looks sweet hey. When it does come to rims I reckon doing a larger one on rear and tuck it. Perhaps 18s on front and 20s on back would look crazy!

the original spyder was already fun to drive...

i had a spyder beforehand... loved it...

but it was a 5 speed semi auto...

man!! VVTL-i~ LIFT ~! YO>>> the power of 6,000rpm in the spyder would be awesome...

super charge it after... and line it up with a lotus....

update

yes please

do you have any updates on this?

ok just got lazy lol
here u go

more

fantastic looking car ! and its a 2zz o yeh!

Awesome ride dude. Has the Candy-apple red spyder had the same 2ZZ treatment?

Though i'm not a big fan of blue..that looks mighty sweet..

nah its turboed

Definately a sweet project!

Love the car, the colour, the engine choice and the wheels. Havent seen too many good looking Spyders but this is definately one of them.
A very well thought out project!

My question is:

How does the Auto box cope with the 2ZZ spinning it to 8 grand?
How quick is it?
Is it quicker than the turboed Red MR2 in the back ground?

Oh.... is it for sale?

1. its not an auto box, im using the proper 5 speed(mine a jap spec).
2. well havent raced, but from driving both turboed feels alot quicker.
3. blue will go on sale in about months time,
and the orange one is currently for sale
cheers

Rough prices on both?

around the low to mid, 30k mark

What year model is each?
Both imports?

How many km's on the actual vehicles?
Location?

woah man!! sorry to hear about that that was nice also =[ looks to me like u hit a pole and flipped or somthing hope you and others are ok that look serious.

T_T

NOOO.

So much love went into this car

Mate that is so not good. Whoever was driving OK?? By the looks of that damage there would have to have been some injuries sustained. hope all is ok though.

Wow after all that work but least your brother was not too seriously injured and got out alive. All the best for his recovery.He was very lucky especially hitting a pole and trees.

man sorry to hear, i remember seeing this on hume way at liverpool a couple of times.
