Pretty good for $300. Got the plastic wallet with 'Toyo Kogyo' on it too, but with no books in it.

Give it a wash, compound & polish today. Felt a bit weird doing that to a 'parts car' but she came up really well! I'm thinking the other car will become the parts car....

Looks great, but i'd still keep the other car and use this one as parts, The white one looks repainted.



Good job.

Very nice! What's your guys opinion on converting mine from auto to manual? I've got a nice ribcase 5 speed and a Racing Beat light steel flywheel. Oh, and a pedal assembly, clutch master and slave cylinders etc. What sort of performance can I expect?

Don't know about performance, but have been told that you loose about 15% of power with auto, plus manuals more fun.

It currently feels like you're starting in 2nd gear all the time. The tall diff gearing of 3.6something is probably the main reason.

Go the manual, much more fun! My gold car was an auto, I have a Gen2 turbo box in it now, ratio spread doesn't totally suit the BP though. Light locally made billet FW and a paddle clutch Off the line & mid corner a different car https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif



Yours has a 3.6? !!!! Something they did for the fuel consumption laws in the US maybe? My gold car had a 4.1 std, which I destroyed thru sheer stupidity https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png Manuals were all 3.9. A ribcase 5 speed would be a Cosmo/Rx5 or Rx4 GSII box? Strangely enough, before the arrival of the beefy Gen 2 turbo box the 'ducks guts' rotary setup was a piston 121 5 speed with the 13B bellhousing. The ratios matched the engine better in the Real World than the RE ratios...go figure!
