Yeh man I will b your friend. thanks for the comments. Hey are the pics still workn o your end cause one of the guys said they arent. I will get some pics up of my interior soon too. what about you, you got any pics I can see. The exhaust however you may not be super surprised with. I did it at home, I just cut out the muffler, welded in a flange and then replaced it with a hotdog and put that tip on. I wasn't intending on doing anything yet but I will when I get the conversion done. It sounds bloody awesome though. I will be keeping that tip and everything though when I do the proper exhaust.

Thats good. Yeah the wheels are really wide too. I think they are 6 or 6and a half inch wide on the front and 7 inch wide on the rear. The fronts are wearing 195/50 and rear are 205/50. They are dragway rims by the way.

yes dragway draglites :D

Yep thats the ones. They are pretty deep dish on the rear too which is cool. I just got new Falken front tyres and the car handles like crazy now. It is really fun to drive especially down macquarie pass. :) :D

Geez those wheels are the bomb, nice choice. What 4A motor's going in?

BTW, RA60 struts won't let you make the easy 4 pot upgrade with the hilux / peug connection, corona's have the same hole spacing on the braket. I recently got a pair of twin pot corona fronts for my KE55, I'm sure they'll do the job for a while.

the mags on this thing awesome :D

I have front struts from my brothers car. It is a bit harder to do but if they arent taller than the corolla struts then I will definitely be using them. It is different but they are Skyline front struts. They have vented discs standard and aftermarket parts will be easy to get. May be hard but 100% worth it.

First time I've looked in this thread. Your car looks great. Nice and low, and the wheels look good too (I don't normally like four spokes, but they seem to suit it). Should be great with the 4A-GE. ;)

i like.... very neat, really love the dragways

never head of using skyline struts and brakes, but if it works....

hell yeah.....

i run a skyline diff and disk brake rear end on my 55 so it could all match if you wanted a diff upgrade.

the problem i found with RA60 struts is that because they are taller the camber on the front wheels changes and i needed to modify the lower arms but it was well worth it.. it brakes so well.

I will keep you all updated on how the strut conversion goes, you had to shorten the diff didnt you and how did that fit the diff in still using the leaf springs. easy or what. I was thinkin of using a t-18 diff but skyline limo sounds awesome
