Kind of a hard question te72 because many older cars pre 1980 were actually very large,Take the old Mercedes 220 for example. The size of the vehicle seems to match the current styling trends of each era, as some of there current model line is quite small.But what i'm suggesting is nothing more...

190e for me, yes the stock motor is a bit slow but the handling is brilliant. Bugger the 2jz my Mercedes engine is extremely well built just doesn't have the aftermarket demand like the 2jz does. How about a twin turbo m119 though.? fairly common motor but with huge potential, as Mercedes rivals...

lol both is nice.

Good decision Ian! lol My wife makes jealous remarks about mine but only in jest, she likes to see me happy.

Subaru anyday..Just look at the price for spare parts and rebuild kits compared to the Mitsubishi. Besides my wife has a Subaru and i've seen the punishment its has copped and still runs sweet so i'm biased.lol

That's a very common problem with all 1jz owners!rofl

Yeah good choice, the 7mgte breaks a lot of stuff which then becomes a nightmare. I've seen 5mge Toyotas that went well enough so the 3.4 litre should be a great choice. I think a simple 7mge would also work well with the stock transmission, although i'd like to try a built 7mgte with a built...

Exactly! I feel once you work on your car, it changes from just a vehicle for transportation and becomes something more.

i love this thread! great work so far, can't wait for more updates.I miss my old 7mgte 4runner just for the whole fun factor, i shall now live vicariously through yours.lol

lol i have no desire to have sex with my car just appreciate it's beauty.

Guys let me paint a picture, it's a warm Aussie day and i'm quite intoxicated.(thank you Wild Turkey) My car had a small oil leak so i decided to pull it apart and refit all new gaskets although the original ones all looked like new except for the one causing the problem.I got a little carried...

Hard to steer a car using your teeth..:naughty:

yeah the turbo-a had one factory as did the jza70.

Sent off a couple of messages and no reply as yet to report.

yep most parts are there, even the 3000 pipe looks to be the original one. The rarest part yet for a Turbo-a is the factory turbo intake which appears to still be there. Also spotted the map sensor on the firewall if you squint really hard .lol. Looks like it needs a bit of work but the price is...

Yeah, i laughed at that too.

Hi guys, just stumbling around Ebay and found this Supra add that caught my eye.Seems the owner has no idea what they actually own and would be a bargain for anyone living in the near vicinity. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120748331996 The wheels are a crime to all...

pfftt Head gaskets are a way of life, i bought a mint e320 Avantegarde benz and discovered a oil leak emitting from the back of the head gasket, $140,000 car and they have the same issues as a 7m...Glad i didn't pay new price i'd be pissed.lol Ay least 7m parts are dirt cheap.

Your last car was a civic and you weren't quite sure you were manly enough for a 7m. so you went for the softer option.
