I paid 600 for her. She needs a new clutch and muffler but other then that is in great shape. Very little rust. great paint and non-leaking T tops. Now i just need a place to change the clutch and i'll be set.

Get a cold air cone filter attached to the pipe in the trunk and then rip out the long narrow intake tract coming from the outside vent and you will notice an immediate increase in hp and quicker revs.

ToyotaTechGeek · 03-12-2006, 03:53 PM

^^^wow, and you're sucking-in just ambient air? what about when there's actual stored items in there? where is the air coming from?

that looks sweet without the wing

When the intake tract is in place, it carries air from the vent on the passenger side into the trunk, around the back, and then forward into the engine bay via trunk space. The tubing is extremely convoluted and restricted. Leave the pipe that connects the vent into the trunk area and take out the rest. The intake remains inside of the trunk and will breath air freely which comes in through the vent. It doesn't matter if there are things in the trunk or not.
