Iowa Tacomas (Idiots.Out.Wandering.Around)

I miss that car and I never even got to drive it.

 

I’ve gotten more tickets in my Tacoma’s than that car. I’m doing something wrong.

 

Good morning my friends with tall trucks in low places.

 

I want something with a 2JZ in it real bad. I have had or driven everything but a 2JZ car or a Rotary car and I don't want anything to do with anything Rotary. The 2JZ is the only real performance drivetrain I desire that I haven't either owned or driven. Well, with the exception of exotics. There are still some exotics on my hit list but those really don't count. LoL

 

I’ve never driven a rotary but I have ridden in one. The weirdest part is you have 2x the rpm range of a normal car. You also gotta pay attention to your oil since by design they burn some.

the jz is awesome

 

At some point I will either own something with one in it or I will swap a 2JZGTE into something. It's also one the rare performance platforms I haven't tuned on yet. That will change at some point. I've tuned everything from Stock Civic's to 1000+ HP race cars. But haven't had the chance to play with a 2JZ.

 

When I was a mechanic back in the mid `70s, I drove a rotary powered Mazda mini-pickup with the two rotor rotary engine in it. I worked at Forest Hills Motors on University Ave. in Waterloo, if you were around W`loo back then. It was their parts pick-up vehicle. It was a gutless wonder, no low end torque, LOL. Once you got it up to full song, it was great, but it took a long time to get there.

 

mid 70s??
i thought you were one of these young guys!

 

looks like a price drop on this, might go check it out this morning, too cold to do much else hahah

 

Do it!

 

they are probably having a hard time selling MT

 

LOL. Nope, 61 years young.

 

Yeah What he said

 

if i like that one, what am i to do with my old truck i've had for awhile now

 

I would be curious of your open minded opinion of it after your test drive

 

It replaces the corolla in the herd. Easy peasy lemon squeezey. Next issue?

 

Keep it as beater truck!!! Wait...it already is. Lmao.

You probably won't be able to sell it here after telling everyone how much of a piece of shit it is

 

There are a whole bunch of 2020 MT Tacoma’s sitting on lots around here. There’s also an army green TRD pro tundra

I need to get off the internet

 

when the heck did i ever say that, i was probably just having one of dem days, don't take it personal
it glides smooth as butter still but needs work
