AutoExec Summary

I bought my Toyota Mark II BLIT 18 months ago because I wanted a turbo inline-six wagon. Local markets didn’t have what I needed, so I imported it from Japan. Initially, I considered a Toyota Crown wagon but found its handling lacking. My BLIT is performance-tuned and packed with cool features, like an air purifier with an ion generator. The 2.5-litre 1JZ-GTE engine is powerful, and I’m planning a manual swap. It’s been incredibly reliable, even on a 3200km round trip to Sydney. The only downside is its fuel economy—60L per 500km. Despite this, I love it and would buy another in a heartbeat.
