Okay, try not to take this personally please... but do you guys not know how to use a search engine on the internet? I got home at 2am and went on google.com and did a 5 minute search and I found everything I needed to know and more about this engine and the cars it comes in.

Here's the answer. I was wrong in the first place, because this car IS available in North America. Yes MACH 1, you can go out and buy one. The Toyota MR2 Turbo and the Celica GT4 have the engine in it, stock.

Here's a site (one of MANY) outlining the specs of the engine: http://www.allwheelmotion.com/arvinfaq.htm. I'm surprised that even though I told you guys what to look for... NOT EVEN ONE of you was able to find it... oh-my-goodness, maybe your ISPs don't hook up to some of these sites through their search engines...... hmmmmmmmmm.... wait that's not it... whatever could it be???

Back to one point that Mach 1 made, about having to import the engine and that not being a feasible option, I have to say something. I live in Canada. I have ordered for example, my rear swaybar from Australia and it got here in 3 business days. I've also ordered parts like springs and struts and such from the US, and it has taken 5 weeks to get here! So as far as I am concerned I have to order out no matter what part I'm looking for, and it seems faster to order from Japan or Australia (in my example) than from the US which is my only other option. So I don't see your point of dismissing something just because you have to order it. That doesn't prove anything.

Now, I did mean all that with no offence intended and I think that is what you guys have been asking for me all this time due to your own inability to spent 5 min looking for it if you are truly curious (as your posts seem to indicate). Hope it helps. There is also an article that one of your own members posted in my defence. Read and believe be, there is a lot of information on this out there that you can dig up as easily as I can. But it seems like your sole purpose in this thread is to try to flame me just like a true ricer attitude.

Happy hunting.
