    Little update: Now sits on stock springs for snow fun! or was going to lol, lots of Led lights on it now here's a link for the taillights http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ7KCGc9Xzc also tinted my foggies/side markers/taillights. Vader now or has been leaking for a long time so I got that checked out an with every going bad with it repairs alone will be around 1,000 dollars with labor! So I'm just going to save for a st205 motor which is only 500 more then the repairs so I'll just repair whatever looks bad on the st205 motor gaskets/water pump/belts ect ect and hopefully I will great running car with zero leaks! Or should I just rebuild my motor since I already have a rebuild head unit on my other all-trac? what do you guys think I should do?

    Car looks gorgeous. Are you getting the ST205 engine done at a shop, or are you doing it yourself? If the engine with labor is 1500 then I'd go for it. :popcorn

    Wish it was 1500 altogether! but no that's just for the st205 motor/trans/wire harness/ecu.

    Photography is another hobby I'd like to get into once I have the funds. Seems like everything is about funds and that it hinders us. Eh, I won't worry. So you're in Cali? Along with KevinYang. We need to have a meet. I'm like a 30 min drive from Downtown LA. So hopefully we''re all close to the same area

    ^ Hi Cliff! :D Didn't realize you were on here! lol
    Definitely need a Socal meet. :D

    @PhantomJDM
    I've always wanted to see what a '162 lip would look like on a '165.
    That thing is HAWT! I'm loving it! :D
    Any plans for side skirts or anything like that?

    What's up Andrew. . .

    Yeah, I've been trying to sign up here for quite a while. . .

    Just bad timing on my part. . .

    But I'm excited to be finally on this forum full of 4th gen lovers like myself. . .

    I am really serious about a meet though, I have yet to (for the lack of a better word) "meet" other 4th gen owners, I live in SoCal where it's obviously dominated by Honda's and 240s in S13/S14 variation, so It'll be very refreshing to do so.

    Or better yet, the 16th Annual ALL TOYOTAFEST would be the perfect meet, it's on Saturday May 14th, 2011. The Biggest Toyota Family Reunion! And it's at the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA.

    Went last year and all I can say is WOW!!! Unfortunately, there were only a couple (literally just 2) 4th gens that showed up. So I highly suggest ST162.net to represent this year.

    Glad you joined. :D
    Hope I get my car running reliably by then, and that I don't have a midterm on that week. I almost always have freakin' midterms... :(
