My new gas saver!
just picked this up a couple of weeks ago.
its a 94 22re with 189k miles, paid 2k. Engine has new head with new valves ect...., new timing chain, new oil pump, water pump, fan clutch, radiator. body is in pretty good shape and everything works as it should. has 0 rust anywhere. it does need a new clutch and the valves adjusted which I am doing this week. this is gonna be my back and to from work gas saver. it runs and rides good but there are a few things i want to do to it. this past week I installed some tinted tail lights, clear headlights (not pictured), and changed all the fluids in it along with new plugs, wires, cap/rotor. It also has 0 leaks which is different from my 89 yota i had. lol. i want to lower the rear to where it sits level with the front. I dont want to lower the front due to my driveway being so sandy and bumpy. Im figuring adding blocks are gonna be the cheapest and easiest way to do this right? what size blocks do I need 2 or 3"? what is the best kit to buy and where is a good place to buy it? I also added some walmart hubcaps hehe. in the next couple of weeks im going to add a new head unit with new door speakers, have the windows tinted, and get the exhaust redone which leads to my next question. since i live in s/e GA and have no emissions tests, should I ditch the cat and go with a good muffler? or should i just go with a new cat and new muffler? either way the original cat is gonna go. Will it be ok and run right with no cat? im going to use the same diameter pipe as stock so i wouldnt think back pressure would be an issue. Paint is the last thing on my list for this truck since it is going to be the most expensive. Should be a good little daily driver.
