yes july 18th would be awesome! give it "birth" on the 18th cuz then i could say i share a birthday with a badass car!
props on the build, looks like a lot of work and takes alot of dedication... just wondering what made u think of goin to a toyota motor in a mazda? any reason behind that choice or was it just a idea that became reality? |

well i work at toyota and i owned the car first. it was actually my wifes car she got it a few month after we started dating she got a really good deal on it and it was a nice car. and then the crapy rotary blew up so i was not about to put another one in, and i am a huge toyota fanatic so just went with it
i wanted to do a RWD 3sgte but it actually would have been more expensive because the RWD trannys cost so much and are so hard to find -------------------- |

I've seen this car discussed on Houston-Imports.com... Cant find the thread right now though
 If i see it again, i'll post a link. But good job man, there are alot of complements on the picture there; and several comments demeaning the 2jz engine & saying that people will put it in anything. I like to think there is a reason that it's so popular  lol.

Blast....why can I not load the pictures? They don't even show up as broken links for me, and I've given permission for everything on this page (using NoScript).
