nearly all the help desk employees of comcast are plain ignorant. they read off of a list of instructions and have no idea what the blazes they are doing.
based on my experience

glad to have you back

what did spend 300 bucks on?

SeaFlea you and I need to talk man, I really need some help getting the ol' 22RE to put some power to the pavement, I'm tired of being passed by ol ladies in their town cars, I just have to keep myself feeling better by elling myself, "thye have a V8 it's okay".

That's the picture I keep in my files just to remind me that it's always an option. I need to get this suspension and drivetrain thing figured out and done with before I go diving into an engine swap. I would prolly go with the 7MGE just to not have the headach of a turbo and to save a little cash in the long run. Anyone know how easy a swap like this is for a 1st gen. Jermey aren't you running a W56 tranny bolted to your 7M? I already have that, so that would be one less thing to worry about.

Stump, I get a lot of help from Mikeys87, ( He has built custom hot rods for over 10 years, some which have been shown in hotrod mags) so he knows alot about tuning a vehicle. A lot of the mods I have made I have Stumbled upon by way of internet, like the lc engineering Pro street head (major improvement, but it costs!) and the intake mods. I have opened the exhaust to 2" with a free flow cat and " cherry Bomb" Muffler. In retrospect I would have gone with the supra engine swap. However, I had no knowlwdge of it or the friends I have now to tackle such a feat.

I wish you lived closer so we could get together on a weekend and get the hamsters to run a little faster for you. Maybee you can come down for a weekend and Me and Mikey can help you out.

feel free to call me @ 910-538-3205.
Later, Will

Stump, I can get the power out of your 22re, either with big time mods, or just a few preformance tricks. What ever i cant do , i got freinds who are toy mechanics who can sure tell us what we might be missing. Just send me a pm, email(mpmyth@aol.com), or give me a call at 910-515-6362 some afternoon of weekend if u need help.

Mike

Sweet

Thanks guys for the offers, I might just take you up on it sometime, I'm sure I'll be down your way sometime in the summer. I might just let this 22RE run till she can't run no more and then tackle a Supra swap in the fall/winter time. By that time Jermey will know alot about the swap and I'm sure Jason can help and now you guys(Mike and Will) are also on my engine help list. Thanks again, 4ROC ROCKS .
