A couple of months ago you could've bought a set of rims the same, in Perth, for $700. You're too late though, because I bought them :D

No point putting flares on if you are not going to hack up the metal and fit some REALLY PHAT wheels under it!

15x10's on the back will look ACE!!!

(With my old wheels i didnt want to "cut" the guards, and they just scrubbed like a bitch! and they were only 14x7's!! The best thing you can do is cut cut cut!!!)

I've read your post in the other thread and just make sure he can give you proof of ownership before you hand over any cash. :ph34r:

That looks like a great start for a project mate, but at the same time its really mint... are you sure you want to hack it up? Maybe just stick a hot motor in it an make it a sleeper.

Gen 3
you have yourself one original looking car.
you bought it, worked long hard hours to buy it!
chop it up as you see fit brother.

I bought an original SL/R 6 cyl had done 100k and have chopped the F*ck out of it.
old cars just dont go as hard as they should have and were not built as they should have been
they do look good though, as does yours!

if the guards require chopping to make it look good, do it but do it properly!

Looks good Josh.

Quick tip for taking photos; make sure you get the whole car in the photo. ie: in the second pic, you've cut a little bit off of the corner of the car. It'd be a much better shot if you got the whole car.

Hotties look alright aswell.

Was that a smartass comment ^^ ;)

Looks good mate! Its YOUR car, if you want to hack it, do it. All that matters is that you like it :)

I get knocked for having a UC with the full slr 5000 kit on it, but i dont worry about it, its no one elses car, why should i care ;)

Keep us posted!

No, it was a completely reasonable, helpful comment.

THIS is a smartarse comment: It's an A9X or L34 kit, not an SL/R 5000 kit.

unless he is simply referring to the spoilers

"ive got an SL/R 5000 kit!"

translates to

"ive got 2 spoilers!"

hey well i thought its about time i update with the final plans and some pictures... i've so far gotten myself a 179hp head, john cain manifold, 350 holley, pacemaker extractors and some sort of a sports exhaust system most of that came out of rusty. I'm trying to rush things a little bit as i want to enter motorvation... and they are very strict on what goes into the show, which is a load of bull. Anyways plans are to paint the roof same colour as the car front and rear spoilers and knock the dent out of the front quarter... After motorvation the car will be of the road for the 308 supra box and b/w diff more on that when it happens.


do i need a bigger shed???
some pictures

True but you can't fit an LH/LX SL/R spoiler onto a UC

Well played Tim.

Looking good gen3torrie. What kind of 'strict'nesses are there for entering?
