It definitely needs a turbo kit. It's so freaking slow. Haha. I'm so use to my 3GS v-8 power that this is worst then a civic. Lol. Next mod will definitely be a 1jz single or na-t. Leaning towards a 1jz since it would probably cost the same since I would need a aem to run the car. Figure a 1500 dollar aem or a 1500 1jz. Don't know what I would rather spend the money on. Any suggestions? Btw I have 215k miles on my 2jz. Is the 1jz cheaper than the na-t?

I use toothpaste to clean my headlights, search youtube for it. Dude you are one lucky man to even find that r154 trans bro, i'm having no luck... Congrats on the baby, bro and I can't wait to see what the end result looks like.

Drove it to work today for the first time. Roughly a 45 minute drive mostly freeway. As I got to work I realize the overflow coolant tank was boiling water over. The car wasn't overheating but I never seen a car do that. Anyone have input. I'm thinking its either thermostat , air in the system, or radiator cap. My coolant tank is full. I need to empty it out.

Changed out my thermostat and radiator cap and the overflow tank still boils. I will be getting a combustion gas sniffer to see if my headgasket is blown. It wasn't blown before my swap and after my swap the motor hasn't been rev pasted 3k. Could it be my waterpump? I don't see any leaking coolant on the floor. Hope its nothing major.
