Evening All,

I am looking to buy a MR2 V6 as I know Woodsports are pretty booked up right now and seen a few for sale.

I was wondering if there is a buyers guide for what a prospective buyer should look for one that's done on here or elsewhere on the web as I have struggled to find anything. Questions I have -

1. Ease of maintenance and spares for the 1MZ V6 once fitted in a MR2.
2. Problem areas to look out for or ask about.
3. How free revving is the engine? What is the max revs given it is a large 3 litre engine?
4. Will the UK rev5 gearbox cope with the 3 litre engine or is the turbo gearbox recommended?
6. Any off the shelf performance modifications available?
7. General secondhand availability of Camry 1MZ engine spares, etc. - what is it like?
8. Anything I have missed and should look for?

I have 2x MR2s at the moment. A REV3 and REV4 JDM Turbos. I also have a MK1 MX5 running ITBs and having been in a V6 it is the sound that has captured my interest.

Thanks in advance for your help.
