Well things just aren"t progressing very well. Had no luck getting vvtior vavle lift working (yes checked puprle wire) have plugged it into a scanner and don"t have any faults so brought an apexi power fc ecu that had been setup on a 2zz-ge and now can"t get it to run without stopping. So it might be a while yet!

Nice
Whos going to do the tuning ?
Boosted cars are like hot women.
A little edgy, every guy wants one,
some guys can't handle them,
and if you throw a little alcohol in them they'll rock your world.
