Doesn't have to be manual.. I don't mind driving auto on a luxury car. I prefer 1999-2000 tho.

. I'm glad to see there are still some people out there thinking about V6's

.

I havent nailed down which 6r I am going to use yet but I have a relativly new (wrecked) IS300 that i have had my eye on. I have a buddy whos got a SC (trd) from his truck that he will sell me for 1k. So by the end of the year I dunno mabye ill have something..that purrs.or screams or just whines..

Mark_Dorman · 07-02-2009, 07:40 PM

^IS300 has an I6...won't really fit in the back. Unless you're talking about the 2gr out of the IS350. A TRD SC would be sweet...I'd rock that if I had it

I'll call you later Ji and we'll figure something out. If you want me to look for ya mix you know I wouldn't mind...

if your gonna put in a charged 1mz why not go 2gr?

Mark_Dorman · 07-02-2009, 10:46 PM

^That's a good point...

Smog legality???

Davis · 07-02-2009, 10:49 PM

The 2grrrr would still be smog legal.

Mark_Dorman · 07-02-2009, 10:51 PM

even though it doesn't come with a manual option? Well...not in a toyota at least (from what I know). Isn't the Lotus Evora the only manual 2gr on the market?

Davis · 07-02-2009, 10:53 PM

OH yeah huh I forgot about the manual trans issue.

Sorry, long day at work. Damn people bringing their cars in for maintenance before a trip out of town for July 4th.

Mark_Dorman · 07-02-2009, 10:57 PM

At least work means money.

I think once the Evora is released you could use the 2gr ECU from the Evora and make it smog legal. That'd be awesome!!! I just wish it wasn't drive by wire...but I've heard it's not a bad system. Still tempting

Davis · 07-02-2009, 11:22 PM

I'm back to building 1/24th scale model cars again! I stopped doing this in middle school because I couldn't afford them.

Wish I still had the ones I made back then though.

I just bought a Tamiya Sard Supra for my buddy for his birthday and I was like heck lets get one for myself also and see if I still got it. Well that's when the addiction kicked in. I bought a Porsche Martini 935 RS and now I'm going to be ordering some more.

Pics of the Martini soon, I still have to paint the body and what not.

Mark_Dorman · 07-03-2009, 02:03 AM

^So Davis...about those wheels...

1stgen · 07-03-2009, 02:50 AM

yup the gr was the one I was talking about...yup I dont care so much about smog..in a few weeks I will be some what smog exepmt..well out of state registerd..Military FTW. I may still have to do some emission testing but as long as it sniffs ok thats all it requires

Mark_Dorman · 07-03-2009, 03:01 AM

I'm jealous

Davis · 07-03-2009, 11:30 PM

Oh yeah, come pick it up anytime you want and you can also take your widebody trunk with joo.

Mark_Dorman · 07-04-2009, 12:09 PM

sweet...I'll bring the van

Davis · 07-04-2009, 04:24 PM

Finally I get a weekend off and I have nothing to do.

Dang ren you got lucky, so what are you gonna do with your spare motor?

Mark how is the v6 swap coming along?

Mark_Dorman · 07-05-2009, 05:59 AM

^Slowly but surely. I'm still moving stuff into storage so I haven't gotten to work on it for the past week. Next week though I'm going to do the gasket overhaul and stuff. After that I'll just have to get the flywheel and I'm set to go...
