Today, after six months and four days of waiting, my car is finally finished!
![]() My mechanic swapped the AE101 4A-GE into the car, and it is awesome! Though I can't go fast in it yet due to having to break in the clutch, I can tell that it's going to be sweet once the clutch is broken in. ![]() The motor itself sounds amazing. It sounds so so sweet, and will only sound better once I'm able to run the car at full throttle. ![]() As for drivability, it's very good. The light JUN flywheel took some getting used to, as you have to rev the car higher when starting from a stop, but once I got the hang of it, everything is nice. The Clutch Masters stage one clutch kit is excellent, and feels great and is not to aggressive for a street, daily-driven setup. What is really nice is how little the engine changes momentum. This is due to a solid front motor mount which hardly allows the engine to move at all. ![]() I have a couple hundred more miles to drive to break in the clutch, and then once that's done, I'll let you guys know how the power is. ![]() Tomorrow(Today, technically) I'll take some pictures and post them up here. ![]() -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

I don't know about you guys, but when I do a swap, it usually includes a complete oil flush, then new just about everything... wouldn't you consider that new oil? Heh... I get what you mean though. It could have been sittin for a long time, built up residue, then with new oil, it could go bad really quick... ;] -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
