RT104GT Regular Location: Western Victoria Registered: September 2004	Re: RA25 GT2000 (1973 model) Mon, 13 September 2004 22:44 I guess the factory in Port Melbourne took them off for rego, DOTARS rules say mirrors and like protrusions are pedestrian killers and are outlawed and illegal. I have the original mirrors off my 280Z Fairlady they are electrically adjustable but had to be removed to comply with ADR's. Its a bit sad about the way Toyota has evolved into pedestrian type Camry's and the like. In 1984 when I did my T18 3TC to 3TGTE swap and built a computer myslef..those engines were inspiring 165 horses from 1998 cc in 1983.. Can you imagine what it was like in 1976 to own a 200 kph Toyota that would rev to 7000 rpm and do it quickly? We loaded that car up with half a Corolla in the 1977 Singapore Airline London to Sydney marathon and it would still cruise at 160 kph. Poor thing now has 240,000 k and still on the same engine. Just re-rings and big ends still has the original pistons. Mikuni original carbies were re-shafted in 1995, new points in the original distributor. Most of the OK monitor still works and about ten years ago I swapped the P51 box which whined and clunked in 5th for a W55 box but still have the original P51 box except I can't get any spares for it as the bearings and Porsche type syncro-rings which are bigger and stronger are unobtainable. That box did 225,000 km. The car has only so much street value and it has only ever had two minor prangs (One with a kangaroo during rally trials and a side swiped tree rear quarter ding ditto) and it was fully stripped treated against rust and repainted in matched original purple colour in 1992..It has been under cover since 1982..so I am thinking about and in negotiations to donate the car to Toyota Nagoya for their museum as they don't have one and in this way the history of the car will be preserved and not end up wrapped around a post cos some hoon fitted a 7MGTE or the likes just to see it go faster..
