If you got a 4 door auto you are doomed
im pretty sure my car doesnt hit 60 mph in 1st gear...... and why would there be an electrical interference with a stock car...i think toyota knows a little about putting a car together.

I think he means after one shift, the shift from 1st to 2nd. at the top of 2nd your hit 60mph (I hit about 63-64 because of my underdrive pulley)

not sure what the electrical comment is about... the drain might cause and teeny tiny imperceptible drain on hp but other then that...

Its not that I have money???? My shocks are 100% dead.

My brakes aplly more in front then back. After taking apart the drums, the shoes are faded/cracking.(and yes I adjusted them to the point where my ebrake is nice and stiff at 1 click!)

My oil is at 6500miles. It HAS to be changed.

My tranny/engine are at 51,000miles, I think they both deserve oil change/new spark plugs.

hmmmm what else.... lol
