I don't ever recall getting discount - unless via one of the many group buys he organised over the years. I looked at his prices just a few weeks ago - he's still extremely competitive and doing some interesting packages

Swapping 5th gear was a deliberate mod a few years ago - to get a higher cruising speed/ better mpg

There's a link rod connecting the front rack to the rear steering mechanism - splined and pinch bolt - it comes off fairly easily.
The main issue will be the rear balljoints - or getting replacements, member 'sonic' has just done his - so he can probably point you in the right direction

You can't remove the 4ws - just disable it, but when working correctly it's excellent.

Still one of my favourites - a fully loaded gtr - but not black though

Most gasless migs are also capable of running with gas - you will not get even a half decent weld without gas, and using outside pretty much rules out the possibility of using disposable bottles - they would last mere minutes at the flow rate required to overcome even a mild breeze.

Keep them lubricated - otherwise you will end up with bent corners on the bootlid.

You will have a better chance sourcing one from the US celica sites - there aren't that many gen 5 convertibles here - and most have broken hinges. The US spec coupe shares the same hinges and they're plentiful over there.

Pleased your car hasn't got the front splitter fitted - they really don't look good.

I had an 86 car in 88 with hardly any miles on it - sadly written off by a lorry on the A17.

I 've had 3 ma61's - all white, I love them and they are superb cars - but don't weaken and settle for an auto or a narrowbodied car, the auto is slow and the nb is ugly.

Billet turbo is effectively a stock turbo - but is fitted with a billet wheel ( rather than cast ) so slightly lighter, maybe slightly faster to spool up - but no real performance gain, so will be fine on a stock engine.

That sort of money or less, will get you a very nice forged rebuild on your existing unit - they are apparently ok, but I would be concerned with aftersales service. At least if you get a turbo technics hybrid - you won't need to take it back to China if it plays up. There are at least 4 trustworthy turbo builders in the uk, turbo technics, Owen developements, turbo rebuild ltd and aet - I've had units from them all and they were all really good.

The hardtop towbar won't fit on a vert - much modification underneath for stiffening the chassis.
