What did your Gen1/Gen2 get for Christmas/Holiday season?

Saw this in the Gen 3/4 section so I figured I'd ask the same here.

I will be treating my Gen 2 Camry to a:

Kinetic HC1400 Battery or Optima Red Top

Full aftermarket Stereo

Nothing special.lol I just pulled the wheels and took measurements for my future offset whore purchase. Then halfway through taking the measurements I realized that I have re measure because Charlie told me a while back that coilover strut bodies are wider than gr2 bodies. But either way a few mm wont break me.haha

I pulled it out of the garage and actually drove it (the Alltrac).

Sadly though, it was because I have to put the WRX down because it developed rod knock. Forged 2.2L stroker here I come...

That's what they do in the 80k-140k mile range when you modify them... Actually, it is more likely that its crank bearings - I'll find out this weekend when I tear down the motor. Of course, unlike an inline or V motor, you have to pull the whole motor apart to get to the crank bearings...

I need to have a reliable second car while do the Alltrac. Don't worry, someday the Alltrac will get done.

This is true. A clean gen 2 will probably be more reliable than a built rex.haha
