	Well now it has been to CaRS I can show it to the masses! How I bought it; retrorides.proboards86.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1144592861&page=1 The Pre-CaRS build including prep and paint; retrorides.proboards86.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1149452564&page=1 Proof I made it ;D The current spec is; Engine 2K 993cc ITG filter Straight through Exhaust with Bike can Oil cooler running through thermostatic sandwich plate Gear Box K50 5 Speed Suspension lowered 2" at rear on Escort lowering blocks Front springs have had height re-assignment treatment and the front struts have been rebuilt with EP90 oil instead of the dirty water they were full of previously! Brakes Brakes are stock with just the dust shields removed for more cooling. Rebuilt with new seals/pistons/pipes throughout. Interior Stripped of everything Cobra Classic low back bucket seats TRD 4 point harnesses 3 spoke steering wheel and snap off boss 5" Rev Counter with shift light Aluminum Fire wall The performance mods have be limited for now as I wanted to get it prepped and painted for CaRS show. The paint still needs flatting and polishing, which will be this weeks job. The next stage is to find and fit a 5k 1500cc from a Lite ace which will make it pretty fast as it only weight around 600kgs the car will stay like this until winter, when I will be building and fitting the 4age and T40 box I have!

	Fantastic and only @ 21! Lovin' the small details, such as "86" and the bfluid reservoirs! Finish it off with offset stripes and Castrol stikers ftw x 6!

	Very impressed, I didn't see the full potential when it was bought, you knew exactly what you were doing with it. Neat and simple. Does it feel plenty powerful? Looks it!

	Great little car, chuffed to see it! Good that you've seen the light when it comes to J-cars, I remember commenting when you sold the Chevette that you should get one as it would be impressive to see what you'd make of it.

	It was great to see the Startlet and Slater's Mini side-by-side - two such great cars built by inspirational owners, can't believe you are both still so young. Loving the slight blue tint to the glass on your Toyota - makes it look even more crisp with the contrast of the bright white paint - which incidently I think was soooo the right colour to go with. Loving the details like the matching white TRD harnesses, steering wheel, stickers and most of all the remote oil cooler As you were saying it does need a rear bumper of some sort, as although I like the idea of running without one (to save weight) It would look nicer with something filling the recesses in the bodywork - maybe the corner bumpers are the way to go as we discussed? I think some kind of chin spoiler would balance the look at the front should a rear bumper be fitted - maybe a MK1 Golf item could be adapted - as we spotted on a white Datsun (610?) on the Saturday evening? All in all an ace car - deffo one of my favs of the show ...... and its gonna get better
