Not realy tbh dude. quite like the square lamp oem gt look. just want to remove the embosed gt logos on the doors, and add a few 4x4 touches but nothing major. i was going to put some id workz fenders on but tbh the bodywork isnt stunning and i love raggin down the "green lanes" so will only get chipped and scratched anyway. sump guard is on the cards though as she is a tad close on some lanes due to tractor and landrover ruts lol. she suits the muddy look though. would love to rally it if i got the chance :) need to get another set of alloys sorted with some "nobbely" off road tyres though as the volks dont go off road!

Miss this little beast like mad! Deffo need another starlet in my life!

Only the head is different in that engine so should sell it on and then they could maybe put a turbo bottom end on it mate?

Glad to see all the great progress getting made on this!!

It will be honey dont worry. just need to finish shimming the cams the time in the engine, port match my custom inlet mani. drop the lum back in. sort the tps to work off the oem gt ecu. Get it to grants workshop for him to fab the custom exhuast system, wire in some guages. visit jdmodified for a road map then boom* good to roll and rip up as much track action as i can!

*note: thats boom not bang i hope haha! With beans latest rr result i cant forsee there being any issues with the 4wd system taking 300+ ;)
