I bought the car the other day and noticed the speedo doesnt work for some odd reason not sure why or even where to start looking to fix it. Also would like any ideas for a bit more performance out of the 22re engine thats in it. It gets up and goes pretty well being a 5speed but Id like to be able to get more out of it. Would like to make a drifter out of it but still be street legal if possible.

Car is EFI being the 22re motor. Any idea where the cable is located at under the car? I know its on the tcase of our Jeeps but unless this car has been modified into an AWD dont think itll have one lol.

Is there any way to put a cai on the car?

Apparently could go either way

Well just figured I ask on here instead of creating another account on another forum.

Huh its the 22re engine not the 20r maybe it can be converted to a carb system dunno

Yes because that is very labor intensive,sry I know I'm an *** but seriously would you ask jeep questions on the Toyota site? Just makes sense to join a forum specific to every vehicle you own. Many people are members of multiple sites just for the one brand of vehicle. Myself included, I think I'm a member of 5 or 6 jeep sites

Well figured it wouldnt hurt as I know a few of us on the forum own more then just a Jeep. Seeing as Toyotas are common offroad vehicles with the same engine that I have it could be assumed that some ppl may have some knowledge or advice to offer.

You could possible upgrade the fuel/air intake system or a possible gearing swap from the smaller motor previous year if there interchangeable.

Well almost had an electrical fire tonight. Not sure what caused it just know I had smoke rolling from under the dash. What should I be looking for to find the short? Just melted wire or are there other signs as well?

Smoke would be a good sign .
