So I think the last time you guys saw the wagon it looked like this:
5MGE was running on 5 cylinders half the time so i decided to park it and get to work
ewwww
that was over an inch thick in some spots
got it cleaned up and went super ricer white and gold as a joke lol
I know I was
planning on going 1/1.5/2jz, but I couldn't find one with a manual transmission for a good price. A wicked deal came up, and a friend had just done a swap with the same motor in a corolla so he figured he could do the wiring easy, so we decided to go with...

an sr20det from an s14A, T28 and some v-tak to boot lol.
I got a
LOT of flak for this on the toyota forums. I got a lot of "an sr wont move this thing!" and/or "omg u r so dum". I think they were all just butthurt that i didn't use a toyota motor. The Sr makes a hell of a lot more power than a 5M and is HELLA lighter (light enough that I don't have power steering now and it still feels like i have power steering.)
Then I picked up some some wheels and got a little fitment done
Wheels are 15x10 -25 offset wrapped in 195/55's lol
Painted the bay something proper(dark gray) and tossed in the engine.
was originally going to go v-mount but time/money forced us to go a simpler route
Cut a couple heat vents in the hood
Got rid of the stickers and tint and went for the fishbowl look
And thats where I'm sitting right now. Car runs, drives, and does some sick 1-tire-fires. Just needs an electric fan and I can drive it on the street. I still need to find some S13 (240sx) front coilovers so I have some proper suspension up front (running some super short and stiff shocks and cut springs in the rear) and I need to get a Proper drivers seat (I love the cressida couches but they dont hold to well when ripping sideways lol)
I just wish the wagons had irs so i cold get camber lol would be so sick to get that low and tuck mad rim!
oh and just for fun... a burnout in my daily.
