update - just replaced my ignition coils... slightly better response but the problem persists... look like something major will need to be done. Will be sending the car to the workshop for a thorough check first.
pussy... damn expensive leh... wanna buy a new car just to put the 1JZ? kekeke anyway IJZ is only an option if all else fails... I might want to have the option to sell my car later too..only if I want to keep it long term I'll put the IJZ.
