Ha, cheers guys! Its really a pretty rough old girl up close.
My import coupe as seen in this thread is on its third motor in 4 years,has basically been mechanically rebuilt front to back and I'm juuuust getting on top of it. Parts are expensive, rare and nightmarish to source, its also horrible to work on. But it goes a lot harder and has been driven a lot harder than you could do with an Aussie one. Probably 60% my fault for buying a 'cheap' coupe rather than saving for longer, but they're old, complex and high performance cars; a combination that doesn't work well together.

mmmm, DR30s... As much as I should have learnt a lesson from a comparatively cheap and easy to own HR31 GTS...Not to mention my mate's dad who was runner up at Bathurst in a factory one saying it was one of the worst handling, sketchiest to drive car's he'd wheeled... I would still love a late model intercooled DR30 RS-X. Silver two tone please!
(tasty 16/17" staggered SSR mesh!)
Powered by one of these: R31House FJ20ET with "R31House TO4E Pro-T" turbo and manifold.

Eventually I hope to own my 31 coupe, a DR30 RS-X, an MA70 Supra Turbo*, A FC RX7* and a Z32 Fairlady/300ZX twin turbo*. Then my 80s GT collection will be complete!
*All rolling on Autostrada Modena GTO rims or Panasport G7C5s...call it a fetish.
Wish I had ~$6.5k for one of the manifold/turbo kits from R31house for my RB20.
Depends on the R31. My Aussie sedan and wagon were/are great, reliable and cheap, reasonable on fuel, easy to source parts for when needed, incredibly simple to wrench on.

i just found this thread - about 214 replies too late. there are some nice projects in here. well done to you guys who've put the time and money in.
for those of you modifying their street fighter bikes check this guy out - http://www.extremecreations.com.au/. he's one of my best mates and australia's best custom bike builder (in my opinion). he's had bikes on magazine covers and had articles written about him all over the world. he's also won several bike shows. if you're looking for 1 off custom stuff, he's your man. this is not a paid ad by the way, i just think he's very creative.

They say jealousy is a curse, that means I can hate on floody for having a decent 31 WITH blue mesiter's in pimp sizes and not feel too bad!
Juzzo man, I see your car is for sale on eight six DC, why?!
Just farted about with my car. Took stickers off the previous owner had put on, sanded back a tiny bit of rust and hit it with some primer/converter ready for sanding again tomorrow.

Been out of work for 3months with a shoulder injury for 3months so the $$ would be good. Its on other sites and Ive had so much interest. Oh and turns out the police dont like it when you drive a turbo on your P-plates haha. I dont get my opens for another year and a half and its a fair bit of money just to be sitting there when I only drive it at the track once a month

Ok so here goes:
88 celica:
Fiat x/19:
Couldnt be botheres getting it out to take pics so here is a reference pic of what they look like:
Forester xt (this thing goes sooo well):
And moto bikes:
Bultaco alpina
bultaco sherpa
and a BSA blue star
The motos were too hard to get out but they are identical to the ones pictured.
Question: What mods should I get for the celica? I really want to get new rims but im not sure what would look good.
Cheers.

How much do they go for?
Haha good times saw one of these when I was out on Saturday night.
My mates dad was driving it. Only thing I can tell you is you cant easily light up an auto one. Surprisingly sounded nice enough but the memory is a little fuzzy.
