I think this says more about Toyota's propensity for overbuilding factory motors more than anything. Plus nothing is iron block any more aside from maybe truck motors.

No more 2 seaters for me. My back cant handle it. I'm getting old.

I found a 135 CPO, but it now has a JB4 Tune, Charge Pipe, and Intake installed, with Catted Downpipe to come this weekend.

Now that doesn't narrow it down much, does it?

Yes sir...TL/S2000 is a popular choice.


I'll never forget you, Gr8tness...after offering to pick up that exhaust from that member for me, then not having an issue when I didn't do enough research when buying that jpipe and refunding me...truly represents what this community should be, to me. I hope my memory isn't slipping and both those were you...

You can't keep up; don't even try. Just be happy that he comes down to our mortal plane and shares every now and then.

I dont post on here as much as I'd like. So much work and travel these days.

It goes
Passat TDI to Touareg TDI to the Santa Fe Turbo (current), and
Nissan 350 Z to 135i cabriolet (current), and
Matrix XRS to TL (current).

I spoke with him last night and he's aware that it needs to be shipped out. He said he honestly forgot because he's had family in town.

If one of you can contact Morgan directly, can you please ask him if he can just refund me the $ for pulley? I don't think I'm gonna use it.

With the recent spike in having to contact Morgan, I have begun to charge for my services, as any good businessman does.

PayPal me $34.50 and I'll strongly consider contacting Teh Vampire.
