Bent wheels...yup, I had the wheels on for just 4 days, and ended up bending both left wheels on a badly lipped pothole patch in the city of Chicago. I wasn't evengoing that fast, just like 30 miles an hour. I'll have them fixed in the next couple of weeks.
As for the 2jz swap, there's no reason for it for me. I'm in love with the 4.3 V8 (even at only 12-15 miles per gallon). I love stylin', cruisin', and having valets hard park it in the front of clubs.
Originally, I was lower. I had the car aligned and corner weighted; Corner weighting the car properly ended up raising the rear a whole 1/4" which changed the stance drastically. Just a 1/4" lower and the rear wheels were tucked oh so beautifully. Once I do the air suspension next year, I'll be able to drop it till it scrapes (perfect for parking), and then raise it once I'm driving.
Other than that, thanks for the props guys!
