Default Starion with 1UZ motor

Interesting to see this motor is going into other cars besides the Supras.

I'm doing the research right now to see if its going to be worth the trouble to drop one into a Jeep Cherokee. I've seen videos of other rigs like that built to beat out a more 'normal' fast car. You gotta wonder how many other vehicles are carrying this motor, that were never intended to.

That's completely bad ***! I love Starions/Conquests (StarQuests), but the stock motor they come with is complete garbage. I've never seen anyone attempt a 1UZ swap in one, but I definitely like it. Watching that video REALLY made me want exhaust for my LS400. Haha.
