I know it sits way too high! I need to buy the wrenches for the HKS Hypermax coilovers so i can drop it from 4x4 height!
It actually looks worse in the pictures than it is.
The hoses are actually faded purple they just look pink in the pictures!!
Just go TT you know it makes sense!!

It on the list of things to do!

false sir my motor swap plus labor with engine in trans should cost me 200 dollars less than just the gte motor and its going to be my daily drifter a 1uz has torque at any rpm plus is super smooth and doesnt eat gas i think its an awesome motor and as far as potential its a v8 be creative and the skyes the limit

A gte in stock form makes a good amount of torque at low rpm's.. and the power potential is limited only by your imagination. Whereas the 1uz may be cheaper to install, but more expensive to make it fast/drift-car-ready. The 1uz is a great motor though.. I enjoyed my LS400 a lot, don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that having owned both setups, I prefer the gte. Either way, you can't go wrong!

Thanks!
The wife was not to keen!And the kids say its Daddy's new racing car!!
The exhaust is loud but sound nice and basey.And it moves along quite nicely!!!!
The wheels are heavily pitted so are going to take some work but i cleaned and polished the car last night and it looks better.I had to put on a new trunk lid as the old one had holes in it from an wall mart wing install!And i have not put the badges or lip spoiler yet.I was waiting for a nice hot day so the tape sticks.
I will post up some up to date pictures later.
