BASICALLY A CAR THAT LOOKS V NICE HANDLES BRILLIANT
THAT CAN LEAP FROG CARS ON A REGULAR BASIS.
ITS RELIABLY QUICK. END OF STORY.
AS I HAD COUPLE FRIENDS WITH THE SAME SETUP RUNNING T04, MOTEC, HALTEC,ETC. FAST BUT HARDLY ON THE RAOD, MINE WAS ALWAYS THERE AND ALWAYS A LOT OF FUN TO DRIVE.
UPGRADE OPTIONS-BALL BEARING TURBO TO3, 16 OR 17inch WHEELS. LARGER VENTILATED FRONT DISCS, BOV, FRONT TWEETERS n SUBS?
DRIVING POSITION.IM 6foot 2, SO I HAVE DUMPED THE SEATS ON THE FLOOR.THIS MOD WAS GOOD FOR ME.ALSO THE GEARBOX TUNNEL HOLE WAS RECUT CLOSER TO DRIVER TO FIT THE SUPRA BOX. HAND BRAKE SHORTEND TO ACCOMADATE POSITION, PROFESSIONALLY SHORTEND GEAR STICK.
EXTRA NOTES: BEING A 1972 MODEL THE TAIL LIGHTS SHOULD LOOK DIFFERENT, BUT I HAVE MODIFIED THEM TO THE 76 TAIL LIGHT, COMPLETE ASSEMBLY, WITH AN EASILY REMOVABLE CENTRE PIECE TO ACCESS THE FUEL FILLER, WHICH IS USUALLY FOUND ON THE PASSENGER REAR QUARTER.
PERFORMANCE METALCRAFT DID THE INTERCOOLER AND EXHAUST. THE SYSTEM HAS A USA CORE FRONT MOUNT INTERCOOLER, S/S PLUMBING, VERY EFFICENT NEAT AND CLEAN, ALSO INSULATED FOR EVEN MORE PERFOMANCE.
EXHAUST - 3inch STAINLESS DUMP OFF TURBO, INSULATED UP UNTIL THE GEARBOX CROSS MEMBER, FROM THERE ITS 2 1/4 BACK FROM THAT TO A HOT DOG , OVER THE DIFF INTO ONE MUFFLER. SYSTEM IS WELL BELOW LEGAL LIMIT AND SOUNDS SWEET, CRACKLING BETWEEN BIG DOWN SHIFTS. WAS 3inch STRAIGHT THROUGH BUT GOT DEFECTED FOR NOISE AND CLEARANCE TO GROUND, AS IT WENT UNDER THE DIFF.
BASICALLY I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 96 FOR 8K. WITH 2K OF THAT BEING THE BANGIN ICE SYSTEM. IT WAS ENGINEERED WITH THE 3T IN IT, STOCK COMPUTER NO INTERCOOLER, STANDARD SUSPENSION WASHING MACHINE, CIG STOCKER LOCK DIFF, OH WAT FUN, FARRKIN SCARY SOMETIMES AND THATS ABOUT IT, EVERYTHING LISTED HAS BEEN DONE BY ME, IF I COULDNT DO IT, I GOT IN THE RIGHT PEOPLE.
AFTER SPEAKING WITH A CLOSE FRIEND HE TELLS ME.
Its been sitting for two years at a mates place....18 months garaged. But for the last six months it has been put outside with a car cover. against my wishes  but im 20,000km away what can I do? Angry  !!!
This has made me sad/angry/fuked off. Also the tyres may be f**ked, they are flat.. but may be ok ? And somehow water has damaged the carpet. This may need to be re-placed. $120 carpet, $600 new tyres.???
Im not sure wat I will come back to, but the condition I left it in was mint AS PER THE PICTURES, so after 2 yrs, it may need some work to get it back up to spec.
Hoping that someone out there will be taken by it and take it off me. and enjoy it as much as I have.
Any correspondence should be written to vanillazon@yahoo.com.au
Extra pics are available too. although limited. if serious(no picture collectors thanks )
I almost let it go before I left for $13,000. ( but i wasnt sure where my travels would lead me ) NOW i know where im at, any serious contenders out there with CASH could take it off my hands for around that mark, all things considered.
Timewasters and dreamers are not welcome.
Any questions THE BUYER has after purchase will be happyly answered to the best of my ability....... only too happy to see it be looked after as it should be...
Best regards Johnny
ps sorry for the farrrkin long speech... its hard to let go of this project
