Hey CT,

My names Rayneel, or Ray if you wish. I currently own a Supercharged (4AGZE Powered) 1985 Toyota Corolla GTS. I'm the second owner, and last owner as I'll own it for life. It's a Toyota, it'll never die :). I'm currently rounding 293,xxx KM on it. I've built it up from the ground - except the paint, and engine swap. I'm in need of an igniter - if the one I pulled of a 3VZ 4Runner doesn't pull through so I'll be posting up later for it.

Here's a picture:

A year later, after a nice buff.

Anyways, I've been driving it - owned it two years. Now it's time to park it for winter so it doesn't get killed by rust. Time for a 4runner. So I want to add, AE86 and 4Runner! I'll be around looking for one, and when I buy one I'll be here to seek advice, information and buy parts to make the 4Runner more baller!

See, this car is my life. Here's me. I'm 20 years old - Finished the AMET course at SAIT and have been apprenticing as an Aircraft Maintainence Engineer for a year now. It's an awsome job. I'm also Fijian - I was born and raised in Calgary, but my roots are Fijian, and I'm east indian :D.

I'm looking to buy a black 4Runner, 1992 maybe. I drove a friends RHD Turbo diesel and fell in love with it. Planning to buy one FAST. Have to get black, to match my Corolla. Two Toyota's - right :D?

We also have an 02' Highlander. Anyways, time to frequent the forum!

Cheers,
Ray

Hey Antonio!

Any luck finding that igniter haha? I'm looking frantically for a 93' Runner in Black - I want a minty one. Keep an eye out for me ;).

Awsome, I love you man. Has to be part-no. specific! I got the igniter off a 4runner already, a 2 series. The one you and your buddy were working on - that's a 1 series. That gold one, I couldn't find it - the stand alone ignition system your friend said about. We'll see, I'll be wiring the 2 series in and then hoping for FULL RPM AND BOOST. Wee!

Thought about it - car's going in for tuning with a 2 Series igniter and we'll see where it goes from there.

I've been watching this one for a while! It's out of my price range since I just graduated, paying off a student loan and saving for a Vacation. Thanks for the link! I'll keep my eyes out though.

I'm that guy that was at Pick and Pull that day.

As far as the 4Runner, I wouldn't waste your time with an Auto. They are sluggish and sap a lot of power.
Pick and Pull is bountiful in 2nd gen 4Runners so parts are not an issue.

Haha, I'll never drive an Auto. Unless I have to, I won't. I'm planning to keep my AE for life anyways!
