    Interesting. Looks like these models are in a car show. How big are these models?

    check out the grill, a combination of pre-face and facelift

    edit: nvm, it just looked more defined/brighter than actual models

    yep that's a prototype. the tires are fake. probabily has no engine or trans. IIRC that is the photo celica from 1986

    Must be the TEQ museum? Other one looks like a Cabrio but not the GT4 cabrio prototype

    I like the smooth one-piece splitter on the hatch. Wonder why the hell Toyota didn't build the full-size cars with one like it :banghead

    Ya, somehow they decided to put it on the Corona ST162 instead, very few survived
    and to be honest I've only seen broken ones

    - Hell yeah, plus buy some models, go to scrapyards, the factory museum, some performance suppliers and drink too much saki, I'm in

    It's actually a 3-piece like yours, sides are the same but the centre is blank.
    Should be easy to copy in fiberglass by blanking off a nomal spoiler?

    Even got the covers/ducts

    Looked even better on a white car, here's a comparison

    (I miss these two)

    I still can't believe nobody makes a solid 1 piece fiberglass spoiler

    This is fantastic......... check out the dates on the plates.

    My valance/lip is OEM cut for fresh and cooler air to the engine........... How do they feed fresh air to these things ?

    I'll bet they didn't use POD filters under the bonnet...... yep...... you know who you are........ :mrgreen ..... :cheers

    Nope, my cold air intake runs behind the bumper - made a big difference to
    torque and leaned the motor out
    My filter panel is a TRD item tho

    You won't see real race cars with pod filters (unless it's inside a collector box), so why do people
    think they work? - aside from sounding better I've yet to see one work
