Hi guys,
look don't get me wrong, i know it aint gonna be cheap. But there are two rules when it comes to cars.
A: never EVER go to a retail outlet, unles you light your cigarettes with $50 bills
B: It doesn't matter how much something costs, time and patience and you will find it cheaper, often alot cheaper and ALWAYS remember what you can do for ppl to save a buck or two.
Yeah, i know that there is always going to be something that i'll miss, something that is going to cost more than i may have thought it was going to. But i'm in no rush whatsoever. If i've gotta stop for a while and save, so be it. What i'll also do here in this thread (or when it's finished a complete listing) is keep tabs on exactly how much i spend. I'm not trying to prove anyone wrong or rub there face in it. But just simply so ppl who may later have the same idea can get a pretty accurate idea on what they can expect to spend. Maybe do a price comparison or turbo 18rg vs 1ggte vs 1jzgte. Personally i think it'd be an excellent thing to see. Also power vs $.
As for the hacking up the "GT", it's already been done. There is no way that you would look at it and think that it is GT. I'm not sure if ppl saw it for sale on the old forum 9 months ago. Red '77 ra28 in perth, flared guards, custom fibreglass bodykit, bonnet scoop etc etc. It's been hacked and raped. Trust me, if i had a genuine gt in pretty good orig condition, i'd sell it. Why???? I'm not going to restore it to what it deserves. I like to tinker and muck around with my cars. I'd much prefer someone else that has the time and patience (and dollars) to look after the rare breed the way that they should. Anyone else agree???
As for the t or f series diff, how can i tell??? I'll prolly get rid of it anyway, worth knowing tho. The tunnel, that's nothing a welder and some steel and some skill won't fix(good ol dad!!!)
Anyho, i'm gonna surf and research. Any ta23 x member pics yet?>???
