Hey Sean, have you gotten a hold of "Shawnthemonster" on vipstylecars.com yet? He'd be the man to talk to, since he has one and is local.

you should totally do it up!

2.2L(i think) supercharge engine sits low and flat on that car and thus makes it handle really nice.

there is a done up previa in vancouver, i kinda know the owner, he's a lexus mechanic. he slapped on the sc430 18" wheels on it and surprisingly the offset and everything works really well with the car. i believe its also lowered and has a kit on it.

i remember seeing a baby blue previa around w/ done out white interior. but that was back in the day like 3-4 years ago...

my favorite thus far is the new toyota alphard... its just awesome!

thanks! and yea..i did get a hold of shawnthemonster..hes been pretty busy..but yea..we talked for a bit

do u have pix of ur buddies previa? id like to see some pix..as for the alphard...i know!! i love that van! that thing is just sick..that was actually another van which got me thinking into modifying it..the interior inspired me to do what i plan to do with mine..like how the alphard has 6 captains chairs..i plan on doing that with mine and classy

Hey there any updates on the Egg? I just picked one up too, i'm looking to drop it on some Racing Hart wheels and putting a system in it.

The glove box looks clean, how did you do it?

My buddy sold his 5 speed one earlier this year, those things are pretty fun, plus they almost never die lol. Unless of course they erupt into flames.
