What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

That's interesting. They both look the same on the outside, but the BRZ and FRS have slight differences in the design. I like the FRS look better for some reason.

I don't know how I feel about a Subaru designed engine in a Toyota though.

On another note, I just passed 6,000 messages. God help me.

 

That about sums up how I feel about it, ever since Scion morphed back into Toyota the new Toyota badged ones look really good and the back end was fixed up a little. But man, I don't want a Subaru engine in anything I own. Those little boxers do okay without boost, but that car isn't interesting to me without boost. The eternal conundrum, good thing is they're getting cheap in the used market and someone will put a fun engine in it soon to start the modding cycle.

 

Shame Scion went under. They made some nice cars. If I was going to buy a sports car, I'd buy one made by Toyota.

 

It didn't go under, Toyota acknowledged that its purpose was fufilled and morphed the product lines back together. They only stopped making like two cars. Scion was a brand loyalty project for young car buyers.

 

Didn't know that, you learn something new everyday.

 

Figured I'd post a pic of it all together. Still gotta put the new bypass valve on and make a side brace but that should be easy. Boost gauge will have to be wired in too.

 

Thought it would be a nice time to idle the engine on the 5-lug just to keep a charge on the battery, then I found out I lost the damn keys. Shit.

 

It happens

 

Well... it’s somewhere there.

I have too many Tacoma parts.

 

Have you driven the 5 lug around the neighborhood yet?

 

I drive it every now and then, works absolutely fine.

That being said I only know how to drive it in 1st and Reverse. LOL

 

Gotta find a empty back road so you can row it through the gears. Once you find the keys, that is

 

It kind of looks like this right now, I drive it sitting on a plastic stool. Haha.

 

I'd daily it. Gotta find someway to make the commute interesting haha. What's the status on the title?

 

Nonexistent. Still figuring out how to file for a duplicate title or put a lien on it or something.

Been so busy I've never had time to even think about it.

 

That's rough. I hope you end up figuring it out though, I wanna see that thing on the road!

 

I can't even park it on the road. The HOA would have a field day with that thing. I park my Honda Civic in front of it to hide it.

 

I don't think I could life in a place with those kind of strict rules. I live out in the country so to speak, so no HOA or covenants. I can have whatever wherever basically.

 

Having an HOA sucks, but it's the price you have to pay for living in a suburb.

 

@BartMaster1234 Where do your parents park haha, there's no room left between to tacomas and a dead Civic
