ae86 or ae92?
the answer is yes and yes.
a few ppl have done it b4 on ae86, u should be able to find something. try the search button.
as for ae92, its possible. u have to change all the front panels, bonet, fenders, front bar.

I can give u every info on the bumpers. When buying panels. Make sure u get EVERYTHING!
1/4 mounts
bumper mounts.
bonnet/grill mounts and latches.
All the wiring and control box + motors.
And no it is NOT a straight BOLT on.
The inner lower levin headlight mount has to be cut out to mount the headlights.
Straight forward if u done it before. But for anyone else to attempt this. U might as well bring in a jap spec trueno. The end result and amount less of shitting around is well worth the money.
Plus... Its JDMMM!!!!! OHHHH!!!

A bloke in in Newcastle just paid $1400 for the panels and installed himself, he said is was a peice of cake. Straight fit.
Im not sure what 4AGE is refering to, i only say what i hear.

I can confirm with 4age, you HAVE to cut away at your headlight mounts..
It's just hard to know where to cut if you haven't done it before.
You try to fit the headlights, it doesn't go in, and your like WTF?? maybe my headlights are fuked. Or my Shell is warped..

i think some of the wiring and control box is similar to those of the older celicas, you can try making up a relay yourself, but simple fact is its a bitch and don't bother it won't work, unless your some electrical guru.
What 4age said is correct.

I've thought about a few relay boxes i can use. Mainly the earlier celicas n supras. Main fact is alot of wreckers dont go prying under the dash to remove it. So hopefully i'll come across one in good nick. N get it for free n see what happens. Not game paying 120 bux for a ma61 headlight retractor box if it aint going to do the trick.
