    it's more of just a personal shop now. we used to do business but now it's just for fun and a little side cash every now and then. you should come by and check us out one of these days. always looking for more islanders to hang out with. the 1uz is a good swap, just expensive. i was going to do a turbo 3rz but have been talked into doing a chevy v8 instead. i've got something crazy planned for the rear end, but i need to do a little more research before i get started.

    Yea 1uz looks expensive, hardest part is finding the mounts, or even dimensions to make mounts.
    my research continues
