    yeah, probably. there are different opinions on what i hear are TOTALLY different engines. its been debated a lot too... great thing to search for. but i say, if you want a 1jz...go for it. there are pleanty of people that have done it, and they have reasons and can give you feedback if...

    knock knock... no knock

    you dont even know its a rod knock....do you? it COULD be something else. i have a knock on startup and sometimes i hear roughness during running, but i dont worry about it because it only happens sometimes. other times, my revs are buttery smooth... and unless oil really can prevent the...

    Jerky acceleration...kind of a pulsing feeling.

    sometimes i'll downshift and let the clutch in bad and it will buck. in terms of the likely engine-related issue...its it happens when traveling in 2nd or 3rd gear...i dont really pay attention to it anymore and i'm not sure how cold it is when it happens... i forgot to keep track! either...

    I dont think i ever introduced myself....here it goes!!

    yep. i dont want to pay money for the esthetic aspects of my car unless its a polish or something low-cost. and my car handles fine so i dont think i need shocks...im not sure that i would even know if i needed them. either way...i dont have or wany to spend money on that. i dont drive crazy...

    I dont think i ever introduced myself....here it goes!!

    at first glance my rims look rather small but i think its just the design. i dont THINK they are 15's unless i read the sidewalls wrong. i think i measured them once too. we'll see. i think we're about the same....i compare the heights using the trim on the side and the top of my tires meets...

    Jerky acceleration...kind of a pulsing feeling.

    i know. i just wanted to mention that because i could see someone saying "oh well are you sure its just not drivetrain play that's causing that?" since it can make a similar (yet much more violent) type of feeling.

    New - SUPRAMANIA STICKERS -

    my first guess, without knowing anything of the nature of the adhesive used in these stickers is... you didnt properly clean the window before application, it stuck to particles that were NOT paint, and came right off when you washed it. considering BorHor's stickers are fine...i'd bet...

    Jerky acceleration...kind of a pulsing feeling.

    surging. light throttle application sometimes results in a surging feeling instead of a constant force of acceleration... i get bucking when i shift poorly but thats drivetrain backlash...so i dont think i'm confusing the two.

    New - SUPRAMANIA STICKERS -

    if you feel like it. :D maybe it would be eaiser to photoshop one? i dunno. i like the idea because on my car it would go with my taillights and rear reflector...the whole black/red thing.

    Which spark plug wires are good?

    allright. hopefully toyota is cheap. maybe this is something i should order. i've never ordered car parts online and i dont know where to start. i've heard Jay Marks toyota sometimes but...i have a dealer local. does Jay Marks sell cheaper than other dealers or what?

    I dont think i ever introduced myself....here it goes!!

    i have records of shock/strut replacement (i'm bad w/suspension so i'm not sure which or if both are correct) but i have a feeling they were replaced with something close to stock because its still pretty high up. if someone posts measurements i'll go out and see how high my car iss from...

    Jerky acceleration...kind of a pulsing feeling.

    4.4 throttle percent? what the heck is that? i guess its mildly possible my cams are out of timeing but i did it according the the TSRM and it was just like how i found it when i tore it apart so...i dont think its my timing. i set my timing with a light as well. but i'll get new plugs...
