	Wow, this car is absolutely amazing. I can only imagine how much fun this would be to drive, nice, lightweight and I bet the engine makes a beautiful noise with those carbs! Has it ever been restored or repainted? Looks almost too good to be true if that's in original condition!

	Crisp, clean, great photos, and the first pic is definitely a great angle to see it. Oh, and welcome to RR's.

	Stunning! Personally I'd be running it a lot closer to the floor, but there ain't nothing wrong with leaving it as it is! Are they not 45s rather than 40s? Solex?

	Thanks for the comments, the car is just out of Japan & I have to say, underneath is like a car 6 months old, it really is remarkable! Regarding the carbs, they could be 45s, I have to do my homework on that one & yes I am planning to lower it at the back slightly, but all in good time! Just looking forward to the summer & a whole lot of shows!

	Nice one! Original Toyota carbs were Solex on the the 18RG, don't know about size. And aircon too? I'm wondering about the orange lenses at the front of the wings, I think they were JDM spec. but most other markets got the clear ones. Are they indicators or marker lights, or maybe both? Just curious.

	Absoulutly stunning car, really liking the wheels too. Do you think the designer had a picture of one of these on his desk at the time? Oh and welcome to RR

	The orange indicators, I was thinking off fitting clear ones, but as they are original, I don't like changing it! & they are indicators on the wing, the carbs could be 45s, I must check that out!

	Someone else thinks the same, but maybe more like a modern retro take on TA22 Celica. www.bloggang.com/viewblog.php?id=cardesignproject&date=17-07-2006&group=1&gblog=2

If you're worried about not changing the indicators because they're not original,you may be interested to know that the whole rear panel and lights are not original either,they are from an ra25/ta27. The ra28 has the 3 bar lights.
