After over a decade of ownership, nearly 200,000 miles, a turbo swap, countless rebuilds, upgrades, and memories… my 2000 RS is finally changing hands.

The blue ‘24 RS has taken its place as my daily, and now my son is getting the 2000. He literally grew up with this car, so seeing him take it over is pretty damn cool.

Recently, I thought I had finally killed the old motor. Turns out, thankfully, it was just a water pump. 😂 But regardless, I’m in the process of swapping in a 206. It’s in better shape and has fewer miles than the old motor, so I figured it was time for a fresh start.

This car has been a huge part of my life for a long time. It’s seen a lot of miles, a lot of changes, and a lot of abuse—and now it gets to start its next chapter with my son.

If you want to follow along with him, he’s on Instagram at .Luke. He takes some really good pictures, and I’m sure the RS will make an appearance or two. 🤘

Here’s to the next chapter. 🥂

Rear speakers changed!! Not as drastic as the front but i wanted them done regardless.

Now these are all in, im not sure i wanna amp them.. volume seems fine for me.

Still would like to put in an infinity basslink mini or maybe a underseat kicker if i find one for the price i wanna pay.

Night and day difference!!!

The RS got new infinity 6x9s for the front. These replace the pathetic ones that came factory. Sounds much better.

Can’t wait to do the rears!

Some updates to the runner! Lacey told me she would be OK if it was a little bit louder and one of our friends were selling this muffler off of their 4runner and I threw it on this morning. Now these Toyota V6’s are not known to be good sounding but we do like how it turned out.

Not a lot going on.. but i did get a deal locally on some new front speakers for the daily.

The factory radio on my 24 RS absolutely blows. My old car had a decent system and im determined to make it a little better. I plan to see if i can get away with not amping it, and just replacing the speakers.

I’ve always been a fan of infinity, and had the kappas in my old car. This one I’ll go with the reference series.

As time/budget allows, I’ll be getting 6.5 rear speakers, and 6x9 fronts. And eventually getting an underseat sub.

Did a little work yesterday to the runner.

We installed some opt offroad rear control arms.

No more worrying about possibly bending or breaking the rear links, and got a little more articulation from them. And of course they are purple. 😃

We are now part of the 270° awning club!

No, the hatch doesn’t work great when it’s open, but we got a fantastic deal on this.

Also while it was waiting….Threw on an extended braided rear brake line and painted the panhard purple. Because why not?...

Wife will drive it to let us know if there’s a difference or if it’s just a placebo.😂
