So I've finally lowered it properly!! Got 4 cobra springs all heavy duty. The front coils are from a falcon and are 60 percent harder. Ive also had Canterbury gaurd rolling out and had the front guards rolled and flared and the rear guards rolled so its ready to tuck some tyres. The gaurd flaring was actually really rough and im a bit gutted. The rear springs are getting a custom compression done as they are far to high standard. Its about a 3inch drop in the front and 3.5 inch drop in the rear and I imagine they will come down some more as time goes on. -

I'm keeping my eyes out for a well priced 2jz-gte aswell. Here is a pic of the overdrive switch set up. I'm happy with how it looks. -

Got the new rims on, and the 4 speed is in and doing okay, it has a slow change from 2nd to 3rd so im thinking a tranny flush wouldn't hurt. -

The rim has arrived, I think it looks good. Just fits in the guard. Trying to see if I can get some 17x7 for the front as the 17x8s are just a lil to big. -

I am also thinking about a engine conversion in the far future, its either a 1uz which i would turbo or a 2jzgte(if i win lotto). Could anyone enlighten me on what type of 1uz I will need. I know it should be from a uzs131 but I think that will be bloody hard to find especially since most importers don't list the model vehicle it comes from. Is this the right type? https://www.trademe.co.nz/2810351471 -

We've had some trouble finding the reverse light wiring on the wagon so will pull apart boot and find wiring color and go from there. It seems that the 4th gear or overdrive is electronic so im going to put on a old style chrome marine pull switch that will look cool, I've got a old crystal red light that can go beside it and burn when in 4th. I think the manual electronic selection of 4th gear is the only way we can do it. NOTE- am now caught up. Posted all my progress over 1.5 months in one day as just started thread. So ill now continue with sporadic updates. -

I've put the 4 speed transmission in it with a mate for 2 nights after work. Many beers later and a bit of modifying gear box mounts and cross members we have it fitting. The knock down is set up and I've tried making a drive shift that fits out of the original and the other piece I've gotten but its to small. The piece that goes into the transmission only just slides in so have organized to get the original shortened by 40mm so it will fit in perfectly. Trying my luck on not getting it balanced as its only $120. Where the balancing and shortening is $280. Can always get it balanced later on. -
