@@povilaslondon paid $3k for my ‘05 K24 swap/hardtop, so I’d say a lot cheaper than what you can find now. The way mine is spec’d, it would easily cost about $25k to reproduce here in the states. I don’t think the prices will stay low for much longer either, its too good of a chassis.
Wow that last frame amazed me. 2zz MR2 had a higher trap speed than the S2K. The little MR2 is a such a ripper with the engine in the right spot and low weight.
@@terminalvelocity5995 Price though vs power, the 2ZZ would always win. I bought a tidy MR2 (with high mileage) for £1k. Had a 55k 2ZZ with Lotus flywheel, 6th gear etc. fitted for just over £3k. You couldn't even buy a rotten, standard PFL Cat C S2000 for that.
@@stuartcrann yes that’s true Iv also had a 2zz spyder, and yes it is the perfect engine for the car, however it still is a bit slow in my opinion. Price wise though yes is very cheep to convert the car to a 2zz wins every time in that aspect.👍🏼
I bought my Mr2 Spyder '03 with 58k for 2k. Doubt I'd get one for that now. There seems to be more chatter on youtube about them so probably won't be long before they start to increase in value.
Enjoyed the content a lot. The MR2 is incredibly underrated in terms of what it offers for the money. I think a Miata could give an MR2 a run, maybe. Is your V6 the 2GR-FE motor? Did you consider something like a K24 but want more torque? A little curious on the reasoning behind such a cool engine swap. Boy it's fast, good choice.
Yes it’s the 2GR motor, I wanted torque and as reliable as possible, k engines don’t offer torque, in my eyes torque makes you quick if used correctly. There also is not much difference in weight as the k’s are all iron block, 2GR is all aluminium 👍🏼
@@terminalvelocity5995 Thank you very much for the reply. It's a sweet setup you have and very cool to not be a cookie cutter K swap. I ended up taking my AP1 s2000 to inlinepro for their 2.4 stroker kit. God knows I'm not as organized or as talented as y'all but maybe I can post it to youtube one of these days. If you find yourself in Austin, TX, hit me up. All the best,
A standard Mr2 is ugly, but one with a kit on looks better than a s2000 in my opinion. Plus you don’t see many of either car on the road in the uk, both are good cars in there own right.
Mr2’s are fun cars for what they are, I’m lucky to own one and an S2000. But the S2000 wins every time, especially with a supercharger or a 4.77 fd. You wouldn’t want lots of torque in a light car as it’s uncontrollable like you described. The low torque and high hp is what makes the S2000’drive so well. Nothing drives like a fully track specked S2000
Toyota hizo mucho menos ejemplos del MR-s, en comparasion al S2k. El estilo es similar a un Porsche Boxster. Un gran coche. Su comentario es ignorante, y en mal gusto, lol.
The Mr2 Spyder is an extremely underrated chassis. I’m glad I purchased mine when they were cheap.
Where did you bring it?
they still are cheap

I'm glad they're still cheap hope they don't rise in price after the new one got announced

Awesome, would love to do a 2ZZ on my 2001 MR-s eventually. Great video.
MR2 is a beautiful beast!

Yeah it surprised me too, the s2000 is quite a heavy car, but if it was modified it would be much faster.

@@terminalvelocity5995 k20/k24 in the mr2 would be far better choice than the 2ZZ. Plenty of TH-cam videos of them on tracks, not a lot can keep up

Nice video, in many ways I regret going fully built 2GR turbo on my SW20 as its far too fast for the street. NA V6 is the way to go!
He's wrong, a stock MR2 is at least 6 to 8000 plus. In the states anyway.
It’s amazing the difference in price over the pond. How much is a s2000 in the states?
@@terminalvelocity5995 15-50k depending on what you’re looking for. Mileage/year/salvage/etc.
Standard good Mr2 now between 10 and 15k . Europe.

@@terminalvelocity5995 i believe this is incorrect Ks is aluminium not iron block
S2k
The 2zz is a dud. 2AR is where its at now. Cheaper motors too
It has a 2gr
Donde esté el S2000 sobran todos toyotas no e visto coche más feo que el MR2
