Well firstly I think porches are ugly imho. And a pain to work on. I helped my father restore a '74 911.. The way they're put together is beyond me. They're over engineered imho. Secondly Toyotas are simple and just work. My brother-in-law has a '92 toyota pickup V6 with 425k on the odometer with the original motor. Drives it 100+ miles a day and it just keeps on going. Also there is so much that is interchangable between so many models. I transplanted a 3.4L V6 from a '03 tacoma and put it in my old '93 pickup. Bolted right up. Simple. Now it's time for a supercharger!
P.S. - My throttle has never stuck. Ever. It was only the newer Camry model that had the issue I believe. I'll probably never own any thing new than '04 anyways so I don't care.

![]() Best of all, it was build in only one model over decades, making parts interchanging just the more easy. Quality GDR engeneering, gives you everything you want in a car, hehe

![]() But no I'm strickly a truck person as I live in more of a rural area. So my little yota is just right. But I do plan on transplanting the 5VZ-FE out and a 1UZ-FE in. 6 bolt mains, super lightweight, DOHC, oversquare and strong stock internals = Lots of room for expansion and very very good reliability/longevity. It's basically an F1 engine tamed way down for street use. Very affordable as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1UZ-FE#1UZ-FE

Well Ford did make two of the best gentleman's car in Eu : the Capri/Mustang and the Probe.
Was lucky to get the Probe at the time (Mazda V6 inside). one of my best drive for sure. .. Well to be honest until I had to bring it to the ford network for some mechanical work: 13000€ (yes you read it well) for a spare eng in France ->1200€ direct import from Japan with 40Hp more (on a 164HP basis) ! Thx Ford to let us down we poor Eu orphans ![]() Ford/Saab/Lotus are just the same sadly. Regarding the Traban : wld you believe that the constant drive transmission she had is on of the top tech item for the next generation of gasoline engine ?! ![]() Last edited by TomcatViP; 12-05-2011 at 11:27 PM. |

NUMMI in Fremont California, from the beginning of the model run until 2009, when Toyota shitcanned the whole factory and all it's UAW workers. Today the building has a big sign that reads TESLA.
Now you know the rest of the story ![]() |
