That sounds very tempting Razz ...what's the best offer you can do or do you know somebody thats gets them in all the time cos i'll prob won't do the conversion for a lil while down the track, have to get rid of the repayments first Embarassed of about $4000 for the car. How much in total would i be looking for in a total conversion including gearbox, LSD, etc fitted and ready to go turn some heads?

In addition, just checked out a site called "Melbourne Car Cruise Registry" with some interesting info as such:

If you can't find/afford a Gen 3, just get a Gen 2 SW20 halfcut and you'll have everything you need for the conversion. If you look carefully you can pick up one for 2k. You can piss of the parts you don't need off the front cut as well as your old 3sge and box to the value of at least 1k. The 3SGTE is actually a fairly engine to install and a 3sge-->3sgte swap will be very easy to do. If you do the swap yourself you can knock off the whole labour component for under a few hundred dollars. If you want it done for you, then budget 1k for this. After spending 2k max, you have a turbo MR2 pushing 150kw at the engine. Add an exhaust, air filter, FCD and some more boost for the CT26 and your looking closer to 180kw which should satisfy you for a little while. After upgrading your brakes/suspension you can then persue further bolt on mods which can easily get up to 250kw at the engine on stock internals.

If that's the case, i might just got for a Gen 2 3S-GTE which would be fairly easier on my wallet and might be able to get it quicker in the short run. I can still add more boost onto the CT20 and get a healthy 180kw at the wheels and as the article above says...just keep modding it til i get 250kw at the fronts.
