    same shit, different smell. Don't worry about it, I doubt you could tell the difference anyway.

    I'm not sure but I barely ever see them for sale.... Not sure on the difficulty but if you're buying a 18RG for EFI then it might pay to buy a 18RGE straight out (maybe out of a Corona or something?)

    hey dude,

    IM sick of these theads where people ask if it is worth this and that.

    sorry but i just had the same argument on another forum.

    what you want is a 1st gen

    you have found many.

    you have your heart set on this one.

    you got the money then spend it.

    i know im being a bit rude and all but think about it you nagged the guy from 2 k to 700 bucks if people say it isnt worth it your not going to buy it.

    think of what you have put the seller through.

    you were going to pay for a 600 for a 23 with a seized motor this one you are saying has been looked after and the interior is immaculant. for 700.

    and i do recall you saying there is a 18rg and box for 500 so add them up it isnt 3 unit maths

    600 for 23
    500 for engine and box in SA

    total not including GST, postage, time, effort, conversion, etc... etc..
    $1100 min

    or TA22 with.....
    2.5' Custom Extractors + Magnaflow muffler
    1 1/2 inch lowered King Springs
    KYB Perfomance Shocks
    Whiteline 18mm front and rear sway bars
    Nothelane bushes allround
    14' mags
    Sports Steering Wheel
    its a fairly straight car, but it has rust on the rear widnscreen and front windscreen nothing major
    leakin from the boot
    need a new rear bumper and boot
    immaculate interior UNCRACKED dash

    oh and its got tints <--- i tihnk this is why you are going to buy this car.

    /end rant
    i hope you can see where i am coming from

    P.S you are obviesly looking to do up a car. stop looking for a show pony cos you wont get one for 600-1000 bucks and buy a car that you think you can modify to your pesona.

    you have got the help of toymods on that but you have not got the help when it comes to investing your money.

    ToyMods provides a friendly environment for Toyota owners and enthusiasts in which they can learn how to modify their car and improve their automotive skills

    were not investors unless it is someones jobs

    sorry once again

    ok so i might seem a lil undecided i'll agree with you on that one, i was simply seeing if u thought it was a good price, even if u ahd said no its a shit price, i woulda said ok cool, but would still go through with it and buy it, and no im not buyin it cos its got tints, im just mentionin it cos its a nice lil feature. I can see where ur coming from tho, but it was jsut some input i wanted.

    Either way im still gonna neg rep you for it.














    joking dude.
