    New to the forum and Toyota's in general.

    I picked this up in a trade from a friend a few days ago. I needed a gas saver for in town driving and something to possibly replace the accord my 17yr old son is currently driving with this after I teach him how to drive stick.

    It's a 92 5sp with 4" blocks, turned torsions and Tenzo rims with 225/40/18's

    After looking through the Gallery, I'm liking the pre 84s more and more. May have to sell this one and buy something earlier :lol:

    I didn't trade the accord. I bought him a 2001 accord 4dr when he got his license earlier this year. I want to give him the Toyota then sell the Honda and maybe get a 2 dr Accord coupe.


    He drives to School every day. I just think it has way too many doors for a high school student :lol:

    Plans? Not sure yet but for now, maybe drive it for a bit then sell it and get an earlier model.

    Thats a nice standard cab. Looks good with the tint and wheels. Anything done to the engine?

    The engine is bone stock.

    I wasn't to fond of the idea of driving around on 40 series tires but I seem to be getting use to them.

    BTW, truck has an Alpine head unit with a SIRIUS satellite tuner/interface, Alpine separates in the doors, Alpine amp and a 6" JL Audio sub behind the bench. It also has ice cold a/c and the interior is extremely clean with a single cigarette ash burn on the drivers side.

    Any suggestions on upgrades?.....aside from maybe a bigger sub box :lol:

    I did not know that.

    BTW, I was a bit disappointed in the Bouncy Bounce ride quality I was Having. It reminded me of the ride I have on my 56 VW Single Cab:eyecrazy:

    After some browsing of the various suspension topics, I realized I was riding on bump stops up front. I went ahead and removed the stops and raised it back up to where it originally sat. When I removed the stops, the front went down another 1.5" and was sitting on the tires :lol:

    I'm going to try the B/J flip next. Just waiting on my buddy to find the wheel locks

    Thanks, the bumpy ride went away when I removed the bump stops. Shocks seem to be working fine. I'm sure if I were to get a set of shorty shocks, the ride would improve.

    I'm not feeling the rims right now. I think I'm going to go with a rim with a deep lip and maybe something in black.

    What can I expect to get ($) for this wheel n tire set up? Tires have an even tread of maybe 75%.
