I imported this truck a year ago. Since then I have enjoyed putting 7500 miles on it in and around Mississippi. My main goal with this truck was to learn about the Saudi 100 series, the coil pack 1Fz and how to build them.
Since then, I have imported 5 more 100s and have been able to share my thoughts on the vehicle from first hand experience.
I have located my next Saudi truck so this one is going to someone else.

Picking this one up with Ward's VXR 100 reminded me of the story.
Mine Plain Vanilla. His Banana Split.
Here's the story. Here's the mild build and the stories that go with it.
