I appologize for stealing this car from you...seriously, the reason I had it and you didnt is that I had asked about it before I got my first Supra because I insisted that I could swap a 1JZ in it. That didnt last long...too much custom for a first car.

The thing is...Sarasota traffic is killing the Rolla. I granny it and all, but in traffic it just cant take the retarded people. Flat out, it just needs more oomph, and sooner or later it'll have forced induction. Since I cant fix and mix, I'll just be selling my spare block then.

As for the Poopra...even to get it running, it'll take quite a bit of money, and this is supposed to be an "ultimate street car" so I'm not going to skimp out [/u]anywhere.[/u] To get it running, its either a TiAL or 1G DSM BOV; my GReddy Type S has to go. It'll need a new cam position sensor, power steering rack, and O2 sensor...just to get it running. Its also going to need a complete new exhaust from the downpipe back, brake fluid, valve adjustment, radiator flush, MegaSquirt, wideband O2 (Zeitronix package), intercooler, fuel pump, injectors, FFIM, K&N filter, oil filter relocation kit and all sorts of lines...

Whereas with the Corolla, I could swap in a stock GZE, intake and exhaust, and take the injectors, fuel pump, and intercooler all off the Poopra (for free) and leave it like that till the Poopra is running again.
