    So finally, after around 3 years of interest, turned admiration, turned obsession with these cars, I own one. Needless to say, im pretty bloody stoked :2thumbs:
    And so heres the specs:

    1983 ADM Sprinter

    Drivetrain
    100kw 16v Small port
    Pod filter
    What I think is a bigger radiator
    Extractors
    2.5" exhaust
    High flow cat
    W5x gear box (in desperate need of a rebuild, need to source the parts for this, if anyone knows where to get them for cheap it would be greatly appreciated)
    AE95 4wd flywheel and clutch (wtf...)
    Drum brake rear end
    Factory LSD

    Chassis
    Seam welded
    Lowered springs (unkown)
    Shockies (again, unkown fronts. had a look at the rear and theyre Monroe GT Gas)

    Inside
    Stripped, but still got rear seats for now
    Drift button
    Momo wheel
    Cd player woot

    Outside
    Resprayed gunmetal gray bout year and half ago. not show quality, but looks pretty good.
    Rolled front and rear guards
    Serious window tint
    Kouki Levin headlights + eyelids, grille and foglights (currently not working, not sure as to why either. pretty sure bulbs are good, they just stopped working a few weeks ago apparently)
    Zenki front lip
    15" Longchamps all round, with embarassing widths and offsets 6.5" wide all round i think with highish offsets. nowhere near enough to fill the gaurds, looks pretty wack.

    pretty sure thats all

    Planned:
    i intend to track this car as often as i can, so i want to make it handle a little better and try and make it more reliability, sooo;

    Rebuild the gearbox as soon as funds allow and i can get the parts, pretty much asap really
    Some wider wheels, im thinking 8 or 8.5 inch and strech some 195s on
    Strut top bars, thicker swaybars
    RCAs
    Higher pressure radiator cap
    Lower temp thermostat
    Oil cooler
    Kouki disc to disc rear end (cant stand drums)
    then we'll see how the monetary situations lookin. probably get some better springs and shocks sorted

    but enough talking, heres some pics

    Yeah ADM cars came with an S series. You can count the bolts on the diff to find out if its a T or S series. S series has 8 bolts and T series has 10 bolts. Car looks good btw.

    ay i ment converted to an adm T series but yeah, sounds sus, S series never came with LSD from factory let alone any lsd able to fit, and would be weird going out your way to get a Factory toyota LSD for a T series as u may aswell go for 1.5-2way's for not much more

    yeh, ah well, i wouldnt be to concerned even if it was just a welded up S. ill count the bolts on the diff when i get under it soon. hoping to replace with a disc brake rear end sometime anyway, not a big fan of the old drums.
