Seeing that I live here in southern california I decided it was time to check out the fabled toysport. Well after a half hour of looking for it, passing it several times I finaly see that it is a very small type of building and very unmarked. (I was figuring to pass by and see a huge blinking neon sign with "TOYSPORT")
Well after seeing a chopped up mr2 and a 5th gen alltrac with no engine as I walk in I make it to the actual indoor shop area. There are parts everywhere with 2 celica's (i think either 3rd or 4th gens's, right in the middle of the shop) Well it is cluttered like crazy, I mean there was stuff everywhere. Well I inquire about an ss-III clip and a very nice gentleman takes me out to the garage part. The first thing he shows me is an mr2 they are working on, they are swapping a BRAND NEW BLACK TOP 3S-GE!!!! I almost wet my pants right there! Well he proceeds to show me a 3s-gte out of a caldina, another brand new 3s-ge (he let me check all the oil resoivers and they were spotless) a dual vvt-i toyota altezza engine, and several other very very very beautiful engines. Also in the back of the shop there lies a gt-4, mind you that the engine is not there as they are selling it, and he go's on to tell me how they were taking an engine off of a shelf and the hoist tipped and smashed the hood and bumper  ... But it had the projecter and clear high beams, jdm tails, raising posts on the spoiler, and even the original wheels, the suspension system, and a bunch of other stuff! He said the front lights would be $1000, jdm tails would be like 170 a piece, and the hood and bumper would be like 1200!!!! Leather seats would be around $600.... umm what else..... Oh there was just to much to remeber, all those beautiful engines clouding my mind, it was toyota heaven!!!edit: Also for a BRAND NEW 3s-ge with labor he said would be around 5k, a 3rd gen swap would run around $4500, and a 2nd gen would run about $3500, all installed!!!! Anyone want to lend me $5k??? This post has been edited by Chrobis: Jun 13, 2003 - 10:03 PM |
