    yeah its an aus delivered model..and yeah thats most of the differences (hydro clutch, dash other small things too) but i guess it would just be braging rights also genuine Te27's aint cheap..

    i wasnt the biggest fan of ke20's either, something about the rear side windows and boot like you said, probly the only one i like is ra28gt's old one on rollaclub, just dumped on super's with flares.. simple but looked sweet.

    yeah there should be more ke2x up in here..

    updates on ther car: there has been nothing done to it at all, except for getting it rolling again, just cbf making a trolley to wheel it round on..
    im hoping to go over seas next june/july for a few months so im just saving my ass off so there wont be any updates on this for a while

    bringing this back from the dead...I thought i better get off my ass an do something to me twenny five.. not much but meh.

    so i got some 4age-ke20 engine mounts off mr04ag, they look pretty rough but will do for the time being, they sit the motor a bit high so i might get thinner engine mounts, if anyone knows any cheap rubber mounts thinner than 86 ones, let us know....

    also after a heads up from tally i got joel at spirited drive to get me some starlet-86 taper adjusters so i could run 86 arms and struts.. chucked em in, threw some rims on it, looks pretty cool i reckon.. needs heaps more low but in time, also need te27 flares now..i have another pair of coilovers that i'll throw in after shes engineered..

    yeah yeah sportmaxx are shit but they'll do till i find some 13x8 mrk2's

    i was going to make a better pedal box and seat rails.. but i ran out of argon so thats shit..

    awesome car mate!
    sportmaxx's are alright on it i think, but mk2's will be something special
    Would be awesome if you went carbies just for that sound that will go so well with how its going to look
    Look forward to seeing progress, nice project you got.

    Not too sure man about the fitment on stock struts as i was using ae86 struts with no spacer, cleared by miles.. But i don't see why they wouldn't as long as you use -0 or lower just to be sure..

    This car has since been cubed.. Too much rust, not enough patience..
