Other than one of the most pointless things I've seen, that motor sounded like complete trash, pretty ironic. Please no one ever think that that means your motor is in good shape...... good lord....

There is a penny where the VVTi is, you really have to look for it, but its standing on its edge...
and 2jzlex is right, this motor didnt sound the greatest. Could easily be camera quality, but it wasnt clean either. Doesnt mean the car is in tip top shape.

Why would you not be able to pass? Its not that hard. Do you need motor mounts or something?

getting the coin to stand up without the fan blowing it down is the hardest part, but my car can do it at 139/140k.
