thanks guys, yeah it's a auto which i kinda wanted anyways after riding in a friends 1jz auto SC i seen it was plenty powerful enough for me, and auto 1jz swaps are alot cheaper which is what should be going in pretty soon,
yeah i like the color alot, it reminds me of my teg lol but that's where the similarities stop cause my teg couldn't touch this thing for comfort..

okay i seen the difference in the bumpers ..
well i have almost 3k saved up now so my first mod is probably gonna be a bpu 1jzgte swap, i'm enjoying the car as is this sec, it's tempting to spend my money on wheels and suspension but i just wanna get the 1jz swap out of the way while i have cash, then i might build the 2jzge block while it's out and slap the 1j head on there down the road..
lol about the tire shine, these pics where taken by the lady i bought the car from, but i totally agree you don't need that much on there lmao

Yeah i've been reading into na-t setups, a guy i knew had a pretty stout na-t mk4 , i guess the 1jz looks a little easy to work on, and i'm only looking for 300 to 350 at the wheels for now.
The motor runs great though like new, trans just as good, i always heard the GE auto trans couldn't take more then 300, so i was figuring the 1j auto trans would be a little tougher?
I was messing with some weird switch in my center console tonight and figured out the car has a K40 radar detector built in, pretty awesome!! i know they are normally like $800 to $900 not including install, it'll come in handy when i'm boosted

I bought mine at a dealership for $8k and it needed so much maintenance. I won't make the same mistakes again. Only going to buy a car with cash and hopefully not at a dealership next time. You did a lot better than me.

I can say the pics do no justice, i rode in it tonight and i have to say its one of the cleanest 95's ive ever seen(even has the first aid kit still in it lol), you stole the car for what you paid for it!!
