I'm only 18 right now and I will be using this as my DD through college but after college i plan on doing SAS, lifting it more and swapping in a 22re w/ 5 speed manual and turning it into a trail rig.
Swapping a 22re will bring the suck, unless you're in an electrical engineering program... A 3.4 swap will yield much more power/torque/upgrade capabilities. It is a bolt in swap to a 3vze Toyota, harnesses can be purchased pre made.
I never really thought of doing a 3.4L swap. I'll have to look into that. Thanks for the idea!
... 3.4 swap all the way man, its a direct bolt on, engine mounts are the same.
