AE71 Spirit

[F31N7]

Currently: Basically stock 4a-c, Coilovers all round with camber tops, Enkei cross fever 14x7 +8 wheels and replaced all bushes with uretahne items.

Future mods: Pretty much the usual 4age, Locked borg warner, LCA's and spacers for the rear and maybe a KE front end... havn't really decided if I wanna soil the spirit name

Please leave comments and suggestions

far out mang, that looks heaps tidy. love the rims on that thing :) (y)

[Javal]

Minty FRESH!

Looks great man, wheels suit it perfectly, if only they were a tad wider...

Any rust in it at all?

As for the KE front end, it's a mixed blessing.

Depending on your taste it'll look better, however the trade off is the inferior headlights. Quadlights will fix that, however that's more $$

What are you planning to use it for? Daily commute / drift special?

Warmed over smallport, Sprinter struts with JDM brakes and Kouki T series with disc brakes + 5 & 4kg springs sounds like a good all rounder to me :)

Best of luck mate, if you got any questions don't hesitate to ask, but search first.

Do not swap to a flat front, this thing looks perfect the way it is - I'd just repaint the wheel centres to match the stripes and give it a polish - I;m keen to put a spirit stripe/wing on mine now as well! Damn!

My 71 has sprinter struts/brakes and a locker - I would suggest if its a daily the locker maybe a pain but its not that big an issue

Your pics have given me another reason not to swap it out, cheers!

[F31N7]

Javal: There's a little in the boot around the fuel pump and around the rear wheel arches but mint otherwise. It seems alot of people are going for the JDM headlight look but Dave from AJPS's spirit I think looks cool with the slanty nose and ae86 front bar.

Course_out: A locked diff's has plenty more advantages then disadvantages imo

Oh and the car is a drift project

[howee]

ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH I spotted this a week or two back. In a driveway at Carindale, Looks hot mate.

Keeping the Spirit would keep it original.. I like it.

Grr I need coilovers ahaha

Keep it good lookin man, have fun with the dori

howee

[blair]

havent seen a slanty nose with shaved bumpers??

wanna give it a go :)

[F31N7]

callum (deleta) had a shaved bumper when he had a slanty nose, I'm gonna chuck on 86 front and rear bars soonish so I don't think I'm gonna bother with that unless you wanna do it for me lol

[ke70dave]

man that looks really good!

i actually like the slanty front on that, i think its the red badge on the grill, makes it look different or something

[obey wan boenny]

ahh Callum's old rims :P looking awesome man :)

[Dish]

Looks good man, suprised I haven't seen it while going through that area.

[deleta]

Fuck yah dude this thing looks mint

I still have that pan hard rod here and those sigma arms if your keen

[Gilly]

leave the 71 front on a spirit

rims look cool as they are sort of the same colour as the spirit stripes

[starni_boy]

Definately leave the front end you have now. Looks nice as it is.

Nice pickup, I dont think a stocker gets better than that. Spirit wing :wub:

[F31N7]

Thanks guys, gonna start the weight reduction tonight. Apart from sound deadening and seats where are some good places to get rid of some extra weight? without looking too conspicious of course

[Felix]

heater, aircon, radio?

I just got back from adelaide and dave showed me a customer's car which was a slanty front with the AJPS lip - looked HOT!

ask him to get a photo of it for you, completly changes the look

nice tidy car mate, good to see the mods are happening in the right order (y)

[johl]

sprinter rear bar? :huh:

[tuff]

Dude car is tidy as!
Wish i had started with something this good.

sprinter bars look wak , but each to there own .

Please leave the stripes and name for the factory special look.
and like gilly said ,wheel centres same as stripes look mad.

Waitin till it gets cooler until I pull out the heater and front seats etc. Gettin some LCA's and spacers this week then I'll pump my guards and lower it a little

[Course_Out]

I agree with you on the locker mate, don't worry - just being responsible is all ;)

Colour matched stripe/rims worked out well for a coincidence! True 80s flavour!

Love spirits, they are definately the corolla to have, 4ac and 5 speed makes for a good fun wet weather car!

[RussianMafia000]

Hey mate please PM me back or call me as to why you still haven't transferred the rego on this car into your name!? If I don't hear from you it will be canceled tommorow

[RussianMafia000]

** All good now he said he de-registered the car when he bought it but seeing as it was still in my name they never cancelled it lol
