    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

    Pics:

    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.

    You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?

    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!

    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

    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

    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
