He is a old school toyota lover, he imported his tureno back in 1989 and sold in 1994 to some guy in so cal. back then if in the military it only cost 500$ for all the fee's and stuff to make it legal in the states. He had 180 days to get the car inspected and new door and bumper beams welded in, after that it was good to go and he just cut the parts back out. I still remember being around 8 years old going to gardina in long beach to the TRD dealer they had there and him buying stuff, the car engine wise was built in japan, but was built from the ground up in the states after it came here. I remember one time I was in the back of a chevy blazer that was brand new at the time trying to hold a 2tg tranny from spilling its fluid in my dads new truck (I was prolly only around 75lbs) Either way he told me he spent over 25k in the car at the time, and ended up selling it for only 5k because he was having issues with my mom because of him working on the car 24/7 we still wonder if that car is still running around it was a 1.6 stroked to 2.0 with hks crank, rods and pistons back when hks still made rods and pistons,It was hi comp, he ran a mix of leaded race gas 24.7 back then they sold it at 86gas station at there pumps all the time, back when cali was not so anal about emissions 50mm sidedraft mikuni, tons of head work, it had cam's / spring ect ect The body was dipped brought to bare metal, the car was even preped under and sprayed the same color, he also ordered brand new doors from gardina toyota, ect then re sprayed a dark forest green type color and had old school watanabe rims on it. I remember that car coming to pick me up from school and having to sit down around the roll cage on a blinket, and the car was so freaken loud at the time I hated it .
