Swamp Machine

1985 Toyota MR2

GAS L4

Property of MaxPowers Added Sep 2010 Location: Columbia Gorge

I pulled this car out of a swamp. Actually it was from behind a shed where it sat for God only knows how long. It had tags on it from 2002, and the title was dated in 2001, before it was sold to God only knows how many different owners who all thought they were going to get it running again.

I rebuilt the engine which is stock apart from these modifications:

Decked head and block, .8mm TRD headgasket (10:1 Comp)

Silver top 4age 20v header, extended primary runners to fit

Straight pipe 2" exhaust with resonator

Nology plug wires

Black top 20v 4age flywheel

Ported exhaust side of head

Since the car was sitting for such a long time I had to replace the fuel pump, the clutch master cyl, the clutch and pressure plate, and countless other things that were just missing from whoever took the motor out last.
