Get something in the right offset... 17's can look too small, but I wouldn't say they look bad, far from it: That is teeBore's car, he is sometimes on the forums. Yes, he knows it needs to be lowered, but it looks beautiful up close. For spark plugs, just get some NGK's or Denso plugs, cost me $18 for a set, no problems and it's a piece of piss to change them on a 1GGTE. As for the atmo BOV, you may not have any noticable adverse effects, I mean check a heap of Nissans, but you can't get around the fact that the AFM has measured the air and will fuel accordingly. Personally I'd be getting a recirculating one if you're really worried about it. For a daily driver I'd recommend some new springs and shocks, you don't have to go to the expense of coilovers, and most secondhand Japanese ones you'll find will give you a kidney punching ride. None of the 1GGTE manuals are in english no. For the intercooler, it's a case of the stock one is fine, but a better one couldn't hurt. That screeching noise I sometimes get too, it probably is a belt, for the moment I'm just going to put up with it. I might check some of that spray-on belt grip to see how we go, I've already tightened up the belt further. For a secondhand exhaust, you can probably check out most Mk3 Supra stuff as well, will probably require a slight modification to fit. Are you sure that a 3" dump from the factory y-pipe cannot be done indian? Some exhaust guys are pretty creative. Thermostat is something that is a piece of cake to change if you're so inclined, but if your car has no problems, I'd probably not worry. Advice on the Toyota Red coolant is spot on though, best stuff for Toyotas. As for oil, mine currently runs 5w50 Mobil 1, and has no worries whatsoever, so it'll come down to the condition of your engine. Hope that helps. Seriously, when it comes to the 1G, there isn't really anything super flash or fandangled about it. Find yourself a good mechanic who is worth your custom, and they'll be able to help you out.
