my old scrap

I know of one tail light set but the guy is reluctant till he gets his smoked lenses thru roadworthy.

Skirts - Not many options
1)I have a set of TRD, they're stuck in Melbourne atm (the only set!)
2,3,4)Kanimari, Aeroform and SSV are the only other options atm (USA, OZ)
5)I chucked the rusted strips and fitted larger s/steel from a GT4, they are the same on the USDM
GT-S but you need the front mudflaps as well

 

Here's some hard to find stuff -http://st162.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=102&t=7252

Check the sales section, I think Alwayz had a set of tail lights spare

 

i would pull one from a yard, but shipping might be horrible from here.

 

Xept it's JDM

I've sent them to the US before, theyr'e not heavy just bulky
Do you still have the orange side inserts?

 

Maybe now you see I'm not joking

Die goed raak fokken skaars hier!

If you edit the last post you'll see how I linked your pic.
Sorry things didn't work out in OZ, I'm happy but making friends here has been impossible
There's no "kuier" here so in a way the guys on this site have been my friends the last few years.
The're a good bunch and I someday hope to get to UK, France, Fijii, USA, Canada, OZ to meet up with them.

I can tell you that a qual mech or panelbeater or painter will have no problem getting a job
and residency here. Unfortunately I was too busy trying to kill myself to do a trade and now
I'm too old to do an apprentiship, so Im kinda in limbo at the moment.

Looks like we'll need a Africa section on here now? I'm sure there's more to come from S.America,
Malasia, Singapore, Russia and.....

 

kuier = friends who hang around - not just for free booze, parts or labour!

Fernando, check around the boot for rust, esp the lid seal.


The top of the lid near the water sprayer


Under the windscreen trims and the lower wiper cover


If you spray the rear windows with water you'll find the butyl seals have
gone soft and migrarted downward- not good for Vaal thunderstorms.


Im finding heaps of rust inside the roof, behind the dash and under the roof gutters
to the point where there are holes into the roof.


Dash



The upper windscreen is a trap for water (right in front of the mirror)


Under the front mudflaps, gunk from the screen & airbox collects here


I know that the highveld is probably the best place for this car, these are the main problem
areas here and as the car spent a few years in Japan I'd be looking there too.

Are you respraying it or just touching up?

 

Is the interior black/blue?
What colour? Black looks best, blends in with the spoiler, door handles, trims etc

I have one good blue/blue seat cover set & headrest spare

Spec is 165HP for the JDM GELU motor, the EGR equipped OZ, EU, US (GE/GEL) motors
are less powerful and have "dodo" ECU's.
Also our JDM seems to have shorter gearing than the rest, diff is 4.2 and 5th gear is 0.8,
I've been trying to locate a 0.7 5th but no joy sofar.
Spec is equal to the Superboss, I think the CA20 is a direct copy of the 3S-GE?

Later versions make 180HP and 200HP, so it's pretty easy to get up there without
breaking the bank
VVT motors make even more but there's issues using those cams/heads/manifolds



The 3S-GTE turbo is rated at 185HP but it carries a 200kg+ weight penalty and lacks torque
lower down.
I was hoping to get a realistic comparison at the local track the other day but the GT4 ran
bearings in the pits so better luck next time.

Still got nite racing at Gosforth?

 

stock front spoiler/GT4 bumper and stock spoiler right? :fingersx [/code]

 

yard here is asking CDN$75 for ONE side taillamp + shipping...hope that there's someone here with an extra one...

 

No prob swaar!

Let me know, always willing to help and appreciate any info from a pro panelbeater.
Over there in the Alfa Club guys were getting their chassis galvanised at huge expense
and moeite.

The rust problem is slowly killing these cars off, it seems worse in UK, Canada etc but quite
a few gone here due to the 6 monthly RWC being so strict.
The rule is a fail on structural rust but these kiwi types will fail it on ANY rust on a fender,
window surround etc.

I'll be scrounging the yards in the next couple of days, looks like we are running out of ST162's
here and a plain one went for $1700 yesterday, which is double the "going rate"

Put a wanted ad in the wanted section, I know there's guys here who have spare lights but I can't remember who

 

i got one for you. left side taillamp. 30 + ship. or we can work on a deal. i got it as a package deal
