Gavclassic Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Welcome! & Nice find |blink| . Just a hint, leave the trim alone !!!. Original trim like that will be hard to replace. Lowered a little, 14" steelies from a RA series Celica with factory center caps and a black rear window venetian. Keep it simple doesn't cost a lot to have a cool little head turning ride. Also if you haven't got heaps of $$$$ keep the engine stock, its muck cheaper to run and maintain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I think Gav's on the money Stock is good Try and dig up a three spoke steering wheel from a hardtop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiP Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 They are hard to find in good condition. the brown ring always has from a hairline crack to a couple mills. Even worse is the plastic backing. That is always cracked. I have a few for sale if the small cracks don't bother you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Welcome to rollaclub mate. We sometimes have cruises on around Launy if you want to come for a drive with some other rollas one day. :) If you want a bit more poke out of her then I would suggest keeping your eye out for a 4k and manual gearbox. 4k's can be had for as little as $50 for a good one. For a bit more power again you can also get a 5k but you're normally looking at around $300 for one. Either are very easy swap overs from your 3k and can easily be done in half a day.
