Reaction





This was the sticker we would put on our cars. I personally tried to organize and build the team. But since I was in constant project mode, some people started to let ego get in the way. I was happy to find one in my storage unit!!!

I was a part of this team when we were just a few guys talking about cars and tricking them out... we soon became a powerhouse team (IMO) as we showed up at the street races, shows and street races and cruising.

I was so proud of this name, I was able to build it in Japan!



I build this team through friendship and understanding. We had humble beginnings.

Then some members felt we needed to "All be done".

What they failed to realize is that this was always about fun and a hobby. It was not a life, but a lifestyle. My priorities were family and academically focused.

But that was not good enough for my teammates and soon after, it disintegrated. Yes, most people are still around, but really dont run the sticker or officially meet as a team or anything.




--------------------------------
I lost interest in the car scene as I moved to California to finish school and 2 of my cars fell victims to theft (they were at my parents house in WA).

I stepped away from the car scene, but have recently been invigorated by the Previa.
I was also stunned to find that parts and many companies that made parts are now scarce!!! The economy an scene has definitely changed. But it forces me to build something unique as I have always wanted that to be my identity.

I will run the Reaction sticker after I get everything running and a few mods taken cared. It is Revival to me. Reaction Previa!

I GOT A COOLBOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found out that the previa had a "cool box", which is like tiny fridge under the dash in the middle, from Toyotavantech. I have seen them only in photos and in Canadian spec previas (unsure if they were in US spec). Even our owner's manual has some mention of them. Often times, I would look at CL in Vancouver BC in hopes someone wants to sell or part a van with it. Now, I've seen a few different versions, in which I don't have the ones that are pictured below. (note, these cool box images were found on the internet). A slanted shape one  This is a cool and hot box, 3 buttons on top ------------------------------------------------------------- I've kinda looked at the cool box as a Holy Grail. 9/12/15, Saturday. After volunteering my morning at the farmer's market making boxes and putting fruits and vegetables for low income families (Phat Beets Produce!) here in Oakland, I went to go fill up gas in ...

EGR system Clean out and Code P0401

EGR system clean and Code P0401 This is another MUST DO on the previas, especially if you are having issues and code P0401 being thrown. P0401 is "Exhaust Gas Recirculation flow insufficient detected".  Parts: - EGR intake gasket - 25628-76010 - this is on the far right side next to the exhaust. - EGR valve gasket - 25627-76010 - used for the EGR valve to the intake manifold.  -Air inlet duct gasket - 22273-76010 - this is where the air goes into the intake manifold and where   the EGR port gets plugged. 1 container of coolant I did buy a set of crow's feet and Universal joints for the Exhaust pipe. I followed Zenseeker's photo's on every single detail. If you haven't visit his website (http://zenseeker.net/Previa/PreviaMaintenance.htm), it is a treasure trove of information!!!  Zenseeker gets the credit and this would have been impossible for me to do without those pictures! **The pictures are located at the bottom of this po...
