    Hey whats up guys! my names Myron. like the title says i currently reside in south florida. I've been lurking around the site for a while now, and since im about to start working on my truck i figured i'd introduce myself. I've got a 1995 toyota with that good ol 22re and an s14 with an sr20det notch top(daily drifter lol). this is my second motor for the truck as the first decided to take a s**t at 170k..to be expected i guess lol. i've got simple goals in mind for my truck and i really dont have the slightest clue of what im doing :shrug: so hopefully you guys can steer me in the right direction :waytogo:
    ill post pics tmrw of the whips.

    koo. glad to hear it! well the truck is actually my fathers so i'm doing this for him. he's going away for a few months to take care of some things so i just want to make it more pleasurable for him to drive. i'd like to lower it like 2" or so, some nice wheels, get rid of that factory radio and speakers (sounds terrible), and try and get some power out of the motor becuase lord knows that thing is a turtle lol

    Welcome to TM!

    When you lower it, I recommend spending a little extra money for drop spindles. They will maintain most of the factory ride in front. I'm using Belltech 2" drop spindles.

    Welcome to site! I can't wait to see some pictures. I got to go for a ride in a sr car with a 2 way the other night and I loved it.

    If you're doing it for your old man you are definitely going to want to retain some ride quality so don't lower it cheap like most of us lol
