The project begins.. 97 avalon (updated 9/25)

[stringbean]

so are you still boosted? or did you take off the charger? are you going to be boosting the 3mz/1mz hybrid engine? why would you get a cel from the manual transmission? and where you live? are emissions highly regulated in your location? cause if so that sucks!

nice build though!

manual has never been done in an avalon so we don't know how the ecu and etc will work, i'm still on a tight budget being only 18, i would be able to afford the mainstream parts but not a full ecu/harness swap. I am no longer boosted, i sold the s/c back in nov to get a supra i been eyeing but it had wayyy too much rust so i sold it and decided to just continue with my avalon and use the 90 civic my dad and i share (technically i drive it and pay to maintain it, but w/e lol) chicago is strict on 97's and up. sadly, my avalon is a 97 =/ since i'm not going manual, and s/cs are a wee bit too expensive as of right now, i will probably just put the 3mz all together with the shitload of bolt-ons i got (pretty much every single bolt-on for our cars) and do suspension work and next summer either go m90, turbo, or trd.

EDIT: To view picture in whole, just right click and hit view image
my buddy's fox body starting his burnout, left the whole parking garage level in smoke lol


the group lol. this is just some of my closer friends, only 1 other car/truck is missing, the muddy pathfinder




i know SOMEONE here has to love the TOM's goodness and big brakes

RL is dropped on koni yellows and i think eibachs. perfect ride. its soft and comfy inside but stiff around corners, also loudd system.






whenever some1 talks crap about an avalon i show them this, they usually shut up
also have it in color

the only mustang i'll ever like






bigger pics upon request, also more pics of avalon or mustang upon request also

1996 Acura RL - ~2000watt 12" audioq, headunit, short ram, koni yellows and lowering springs ~175k miles
1997 Toyota Avalon - JPP headers, greddy evo catback, k/n filter, jims fuel, stock susp, subtle audio stuff, pioneer HU, polk speakers, 700watt system ~160k miles
1991 Mustang - tooo much to list, 306, intake, exhaust, cams, just to start. 145k+ miles (bought with broken odo around 100k miles, we don't know how long it was broken) overall for a bunch of 18-20yr olds our cars are pretty damn clean i'd say
