Hey my name is Arco and I just got a SR5 as a wedding gift. Pretty sweet. Long term goals for it will be a full swap to s13 gas tank, not sure what engine swap yet, and therefore I don't know what tranny swap yet. It is auto for now but I just picked up a manual sr5 tranny for $100. Pretty sweet.

My other car is a 2007 STi with wide body, jdm twinscroll, v mount, and jdm sti engine swap.

I'm going to keep it mostly stock for the time being. I'm going to teach my wife to drive the car on the track so we can have fun at track days together.

Just wanted to say hi. Oh yeah! By the way, her names is Rose

Welcome man. Why the s13 gas tank, wouldn't a fuel cell be more cost effective?

How much does a fuel cell cost? I figured I could pull a s13 gas tank off at a "pick your part" for pretty cheap. It has a larger capacity as well.

Welcome to the boards Arco.

A fuel cell is pretty affordable and mounting will be a whole lot easier than an S13 gas tank.

Welcome, I'm interested in the front half of your driveshaft and your transmission crossmember as well if they're going to be for sale.
