Eh, this car is ok I guess...


JK. That red is shiny!!

You better clean up those valve covers, engine covers, and pipes to make it super spiffy clean like the outside!

Good work!

So... cmon. tell us man. How do you like the 1J? :)

i love it. im not a 7m hater i just wanted something different. the 1jz is nice because in stock form it makes plenty of power, and is a newer engine all together. it idles smooth and starts up instantly.

sweet hood!
wheredya get it?

came with the car. i like it but this is a daily driver and i dont really like that rain and snow will get in there, even though it hasnt caused me any problems. im actually looking for a straight trade, a stock hood with good red paint gets my hood if anyone is interested.

How much do you have in this swap?

thanks. about 11k including the cost of the car ~3500.

Ur car doesn't look THAT low, perhaps you need to work on your angles and speed when you approach bumps/dips/driveways/etc.

The car looks great, strange hood vent though.

Nice and clean... :bigthumb:

I sometimes scrape coming out of my drive-way on my H&Rs too. No F'd up lip (yet..) Sort of worth it I guess hah, I like the ride height.

Is that a MKI in the back?
