One could imagine on a car like Wongy;s with a 4.2L stroker, it would be beneficial. I think something like my car with only a 3.5l and cams, money could be better spent elsewhere.

still look nice though!

 

oh F yea! 4.2l would be nice. but im stuck with a measly 3.5 L as well.

 

+1 On tim going off there, i just got home, my 4runner is dying (the engine is smoking, so i need to look for a truck) and that defiantly made me laugh a little from a crappy day

 

toyotas can take anything man fix that shxx! better yet 1jz swap!

Anyway looks good

 

Lol i paid 900 for the truck 3 months ago hopping it would be a good winter beater...sadly it doesnt look like it will make it

 

Hey you might have a crappy truck but at least you have a killer car!

 

Lol cant start on the car till i get a second vehicle again Need something for winter /driving to school and work while the car is in the garage

 

well time for some trouble shooting.
seriously ive seen some gnarly messed up toyots go under the knife at 150k+ miles and get back up for less than 500 bucks.

 

This Toyota is pushing 400,000 k.....
248548 MILES to bring this thing back i think it needs a new engine, i dont have the patience to hunt one down and put it ill while i have a turbo sitting on my floor taunting me. YES its taunting me.

 

Toyota products = Best DD ever

My '97 Lexus Truck has 220k on it and runs like a champ, gonna runs that truck till the wheels come off. Had some offer to buy it from me this year and I just couldn't stand to part with it.

The kit looks awesome and I'm looking forward to seeing it in action. In for updates.

 

ah, those engines are a dime a dozen (at least here in the states). go snag one and swap it out. I'm sure you can get one for cheap with 100k on it.

most parts places like jegs, summit, etc, will offer rebuild kits with pistons and rings and stuff.

Also, smoking doesn't mean the motor is going to blow. It just means there is blowby so the rings aren't sealing. I would try some lucas or some ring-free on it first to see if you can hold off the oil burning!

 

Engines up here are still expensive, i was looking at them a while ago, they are 900 bucks. The truck also has a leaky main seal, burns oil, syncros are going on the tranny, we also figure the head gaskets need replacement. To much work to keep a 900 dollar truck alive

 

900$ on that crappy small engine?!? you can get a used vq35 for less! lol

buy a little honda civic or accord. they'll drive forever and are cheap as crap to fix. spend that 900$ on a civic or a new truck motor.

 

its jsut a beater ...u need those....that way you dont have to take a z to do grocery shopping and having to part further away adn stress from possible door dings etc lol

 

I have so many door dings it is ridiculous I have a decent paint chip on my drivers side from some retard opening their door into my car.

 

So true! I kept having the dent guy come out and take out the dings and I kept getting more dings.LOL. So finally I left one ding in there and havent gotten any more in two years. I am now afraid to have that one ding removed in fear of 4 of them taking its place

 

Where is here?

 

if its expensive now imagine what he woudl ahve thought 2 years ago

 

the northern tundra of the americas

 

Alberta Canada. Everything vehicle related is expensive up here
