Just brought this minta for my first car, its a 1980 ra40 powered by the sporty 18rc and racing 3 speed auto.... sporting a burnt valve.
It's rust free, apparently done 80,000 original km's... but I think its been around at least once. Plans are to get a RWC and get it transferred into my name, then 18rg/w50 when I can afford it.

Modifications so far are:
-Tint
-Jelly bean mags, 14x6
-Waxed/polished and a decent vacuum
-Silliest looking 'monza' steering wheel (soon to be my dogs toy)

Mods to come:
-18RG built to standards specs
-Convert to manual
-Lowered springs, around 2 inch
-Nardi
-TTE rear boot lip/spoiler
-14x7 enkei mesh
-Mild sound system

I only have pics from before my mate brought it, ill take some freshies tomorrow.

40's are so much better in coupe as opposed to hatch.

to go to the w50 box you will have to change the pedal box ,so will have to pull dash apart 6 hrs if you know what you are doing .any way nice clean car and hard to get parts for

Yeah I've converted my ke70 to hydraulic clutch. Will be a weekend job, yeah my mates got the earlier round headlight version in a hatch that im trying to buy off himm for the manual conversion, he hasnt touched it for about 5 years... but still won't sell it. Ill keep at him haha
