Well, at least she drove again, but the oil problem remained. We put some brake fluid on top of each piston in hope that would cure the piston ring problem.

Because it seemed better after that, I upgraded some parts, such as the suspension (yellow Koni shocks and lowering springs) and the exhaust.

During a random junkyard search, I found an abandonned Gen3 3S-GTE just lying around! I took it home, because I knew the oil problem would cost more to solve.

In the meantime I put on some really corny neon lighting. Don't blame me, I was still young then!

Did *some* car audio as well, not a big fan of expensive setups, so I kept it simple.

Then I ordered coilovers from Ground-Control, which I figured would be a good upgrade to replace the old lowering springs.

Because my oil problem went from bad to worse, I decided to stop driving the ST162 until I had all the parts for the Gen3 motor (which missed the injectors, ECU, wiring, etc). Me and three friends hired a large barn to be able to do long-term projects.

I quickly decided to get the Apexi PowerFC instead of sourcing an OEM Gen3 ECU.
