    I cleaned it for a change.


    My water pump is broken so it's now throwing a little bit of water, so I'm using that as an excuse to start sourcing parts for a 4AGE swap.
    I also really need to do my brakes when I get the time, they are getting horrible.

    New front pads and rotors went in yesterday, the car actually stops now. Had never done brakes before yesterday - incredibly simple once you get the jist of it.
    Also replaced the water pump (Hopefully my engine bay stops getting caked in rusty gunk).

    Looks like I'll be making a change of direction in my swap - looking into a 3T-C conversion.

    The main motivation to go 3T-C is for a bit of power gain whilst keeping a seemingly stock engine in the car.
    I have looked into a 2T-G but I'd be far better off just going 4A-GE from that point I think...

    I still have the time it takes me to make a decision whilst sourcing conversion parts because they're pretty much universal. Which is handy.

    Cheers for the input though mate, I'll hunt you down for advice if I go down that road.
