Thomas:     what's up man.

                Lloyd:   Nice ride, I got one too

Thomas:     yeah! what year?

                Lloyd:    White 83, but its fully worked, where did yoou get your springs, and what drop is it?

Thomas:    I cut them

                 Lloyd:   No shit!

Thomas:    I did them myself. I cut one coil off the front and two from the  back.

                 Lloyd:    Wicked! Is this your first Yota?

Thomas:    Nah! This is actually my second.They stole the first one which was red.

                  Lloyd:   That's fucked up.  Besides the springs, what other performance was done?

Thomas:    Well, nothing much, only a monza exhaust was added, and I plan to put some stiffer bushing.
 

That was it. The weekend came, and the car went up on the four stands and never came back down until now.   Thomas wasn't wasting time though...the car sat  for a while so he could make up his mind what  to do next.   At the time, Thomas decided he wanted a little bit more " get up" in the motor so he asked me for some ideas.  He was in luck, because I had a few performance stuff laying around, so I decided to sell him them for 1/2 the
cost.  He bought my 10lbs HKS flywheel, and a dual friction center force clutch.  We then met up with Darren and he told us about  L.C. engineering.  L.C. specialized in 22R blocks, so Thomas decide to drop his motor and ship it off to L.C.  The block was bored 94milover to accomodate the 10:5:1 forge oversize pistons from JE.  A few weeks later, the head was shipped to L.C after the block was returned.  The head got a EFI Pro-treatment.  What is that?  It's when everything is done to the head (special over size, valve, dual valve springs,  valve seats fully machine for oversize  valve, special gind cam ect.) for more information check L.C. website.  After all was done and everything was returned to Thomas, he and I took the block  to a machine specialist in new Jersey called " Gemeni." They assembled bottom end.  After Thomas found out he could get more power via force induction, he decided to break into the piggy bank once again. He sent the head off to be redone by a local guru known as P.Gee Performance (surgeon Doctor scott).  After the head was redone, It looked wicked.  From there a special cam was grind for turbo use by LC.  For fuel + ignition SDS system was  purchased.  The block was sent to LC for a turbo block swap.  The block and all engine parts was taken to Lars of Scorpian Race engines for proper massage and total assembly.  Measurement was also given by race tech for a similar turbo header set up[.  TO4E turbo was bought from Turbonetic , RC injectors, Hks sequential blow off valve, EVC easy, HKS turbo time, auto meter, air ratio meter, a bell intercooler core, bigger throttle boody, k&N filter charger, and a whole lot of  other goodies--target hp 400+.    Some supra guys aroung here are doubting the capability of the 22R, some even started licking their chops for a piece of this car.  But there is a saying from way back "Be careful of what  you wish for, you might just get it."  When a black panther strikes, it strikes hard, swiff, and vicious.

Thomas is a welder and all the crafty plumbing, down pipe, turbo header, intercooler and exhaust was done by him.  Saved himself a lot of money with his knowledge metals and of the art of welding.

At this point all is done except for the installation of the SDS computer, so the car is on the way to the shop for completion and a new paint job.  JC Performace will be doing the installation and it will be complete within a couple of weeks.  Stay tuned........
