cool man, nice and clean
Most of you will have seen this before. I used to have a thread on here before the move, but its about time I made a new one.
Purchased this car in Brisbane uncomplied in 2006. It was filthy and illegally modded, but otherwise in good running order. Only minor rust around the boot seal and rear seams. After cyclone Larry, I had it trucked up to my swamp lair near Cairns and took my time getting it roadworthy and registered. Since then its been my daily transport, and I've used it for everything from weekend mountain drives and chauffeuring VIP's, to stadium drift and motorkhanas.

- 1986 GT Apex Trueno coupe (kouki)
- Climate control, power windows & mirrors
- Luxurious velour interior (official fabric of Zapp Brannigan)
- Rear seats removed, handmade rear trim panels

- Excedy heavy duty clutch
- T50 with TRD short shift kit (noisy)
- Disc brake rear end with 4.3 and TRD 2-way LSD (noisy)
- Slotted discs with Endless Vita Nuova pads
Suspension:
- Coilover front AE86 struts with unknown adjustable shock inserts and ~8kg springs
- Camber tops
- 6kg rear springs and TRD 8 way adjustable short stroke shocks
- Adjustable rear swaybar with rose jointed end links (noisy)
- T3 traction brackets

Wheels & Tyres:

Incorrect! 15 is the optimal size!
On a sprinter I wouldn't use anything larger or smaller than that. Perfect in my eyes.
