I took all the bodywork off and with 0 miles on the odometer then went out on the freeway around 6am morning since there was hardly any traffic. I pinned 1st, 2nd and 3rd making sure to load the engine and keep the revs about 8K. 1st gear takes you to about 60mph, 2nd to like 110, 3rd to like 130mph IIRC.

I put on about 24 miles, went back into the garage and drained the oil. I was surprised to see how dark it was and the fine metal shavings. Thats when I started using the Shell Rotella and changed it at 150 miles and then 300 miles.

The manufacture runs them prior to leaving the factory so you're not really doing yourself any good by keeping it under 6K for 600 miles.

Besides taking out a 2jz is just dumb unless it's for rebuilding

I was joking

But first mods would be wheels and tires accordingly. And an exhaust to hear that boxer rumble.

First thing ima do is throw some 22inch blades on ma whip. . . . .
I should probably slap my self for saying that lmao but in all seriousness most likely basic wheel/suspension mods, maybe from trd or any reputable tuner, and maybe some basic power upgrades if my gf lets me.

no, no, I installed driver mod about 7 years ago, and have been updating it ever since. Just swap it form car to car as I go along.

I'm thinking about doing a major upgrade sometime in the future.

KTB · 01-05-2011, 10:59 PM

I'd say tires. They will make more diff in driving.

Drifter here too..

Dark · 01-06-2011, 02:33 PM

First mod is...

This
18" or 19" BBS FI CNC in gunmetal.

Unfortunately, it's available in 19"-20" only.

Neutral_Eyes · 01-06-2011, 05:39 PM

Definitely tires.

SADF-Horde · 01-08-2011, 01:51 PM

Hello Kitty stickers all over, just like what I did to my current car.

Maxim · 01-08-2011, 02:05 PM

Other. This thing is getting an ECU piggyback program right out of the door.
