Hi all I just bought a previa about a month and a half ago. found it on a lot in neglected shape but only had 113000 on the clock! i have put some time and money into it. its still in progress and most likely will be for awhile. I tried to get support and questions answered on Toyota nation but I havnt had one response from anyone. took me a bit to find this site but hopefully ill be a long time member.not sure if ill ever be true vip status like others here but I at least want to go in the direction that the previa guys here have gone

there is lots of things to do still. I have to replace the mid pipe and o2s and the suspension which are all on the way. Ill be dropping it a bit on lowering springs with some kyb's to dampen. just got them in a few days ago and the mid pipe showed up today. ill get a 2.5" drop from the springs but I want to get bags at some point, actually if I would have known about this site I may have invested in bags to begin with.
its my work van but I wanted something that stood out from the crowd. I do graphic installs and wraps so I wanted a unique ride. this is only the beginning, I wanted to get the replacement parts and mechanical stuff done first before I did the looks part. it all worked out because stuff like the suspension, tires and exhaust were things I was going to upgrade anyway. I know a wrap isn't true vip style but I have to represent my company and what I do and what I can do. but it will have a body kit and be wrapped asap. anyway that's my ride so far but I do have questions
body kit:
heres a link to a few kits I have found and would like input and see if anyone has used any of them
http://www.grounddynamics.com/4-Piec...-p/rac4068.htm
next is performance:
is there any pulley upgrades available for us? ive done plenty of research and all the pullys for the sc14 aren't compatible with our setup. so is there anyway to go to a sc12 and upgrade the pully there? all I want to do is pull 20-40 more hp out of her if possible.
thanks for reading
