Well, so I bought a Toyota.

AND something AMAZING happened this morning ridin on the Interstate.
I started racing around with a BONNEVILLE.
*gulp*

See I drove a Bonneville around for a bit and thought it was FAST. 3.08s? It was!
U and i both know them 3800 series 2 engines dont play.
Anyways I was excited to get in the first race. Bought it in October.
It was achieving only 10MPG.

Picked it up for a song and now i'm dancin a jig. Got to work a lil changing fluids and filters.Cleaned the puke out of the carpet.
Changed the oem pcv valve at 275k.
275k is correct.

She liked it a lot and we kinda started making out a lil..

Getting along great.
Now it'z got a k&n in the stock filter box, i threw the muffler, resonator, and tip in the trash AND THEN installed a 2.5" Dynomax Super Turbo with a 3x12", double walled, chrome pencil tip.

It's pretty dope.

Walked past that Bonneville at 100mph. Wow! Bad mother -

Tops out @ 112 - speedo says 140
We didnt race that far , i found out later

Anyways i'm glad he didnt lift and now we know
Seems to need more advance. The timing curve pretty much sucks i've decided...it's all very low end. Idles at 17° and takes her. sweet. time. gettin into the goody. The midrange is pretty dead....So today I started looking for more. it made me think of u dudes....haha

CHAT estimates given the intake, exhaust, and slight timing or flow mods:

Horsepower: ~230–240 hp

Torque: ~235–245 lb-ft

I've got a new Lexus air inlet for a 460 with silencer deletes that needs installed tomorrow maybe. Toyota haz parts interchangability? We.shall.see!

I'm puttin in a LOT of work trying to figure out how to go from 17s back to 15 inch wheels. You aint never seen a lowered Highlander - yet.

The interchangability has GOT to be there but has yet to be established. AND there simply arent any in the junk yard to play with...sounds stupid but it's true.

3.21 geared
Crystal White (074)
All wheel drive
5spd automatic
independent rear suspension
4whl discs
cold AC / rear heat
$2500 for this $32k 2007, 3.3L Highlander Sport
15/17mpg (*corrected tank capacity)
277k miles and every button works - I ain't goin back

Last year of 1st gen Highlander
Last year it was MADE IN JAPAN
(2008s were made in Tennessee -wildly different)
Last year for traditional interior (without a dash screen & with gauges)

(I sanded most of the chrome off the wheels)

That looks like a decent start to a fun little daily project car.

Nice ride! I wouldn't own one of these, but I rented a Rav4 a coupe of weeks ago. I wanted a midsize sedan like a Malibu, but they only had an intermediate SUV. I needed to leave town immediately, there was no time for negotiations, so I got what they brought out. At first I thought it sucked. The more I drove it the more I liked it, even though it's a newer model. Plenty of room, sport mode was my favorite. Braked well, power was lacking, or should I say lagging, there was a definite lag when the gas pedal was pushed down, but it revved high and ran as fast as I wanted to take it. I was impressed with it's agility for it being a boxy turd. Toyotas are good vehicles, nice score.

Sounds like that thing jams like Zach Wylde at the Pantera concert Saturday night.

Completely possible but

Sure it could be done but at what cost?
Ya really gotta want em -really bad.
Meh. Not such a big deal and I hear my inner voice telling me to "go with the flow'
Meh. FU me. Wtf do u know anyways?

Well.I know my life seems EASIER the less I insist on my.mf way AND I get more done. Faster.
