Aoohhh... I think I get it. You're using rubber hoses as a temporary fix? Is that it? Have fun driving it tonight! (im optimistic )

That's a cute story. Amazing that the Japanese police were that strict! Not even different badges?!?! Wow... I find it amusing that people like to change things just because they can. For example, in America and Australia we all like the "Fairlady Z" emblems because they're different, yet in Japan it is popular to have "Datsun" things!

Good luck James! I'm wondering though why are you buying new fuel lines not just getting these ones flushed out?

Just no one suggest the obvious OTHER word for "C" :finger:

C110 "C" for COOL!!!

I think most people are too busy staring in awe at your car's perfection! Thankyou so much for sharing your knowledge and pictures of your car!

Yeah, she needs a councillor. Personally I wouldn't bring the police into it, but do what you feel is best.

S800's are gorgeous little cars - one day I'd like to see one of those too!!!

...then you might want to get in contact with these people! http://www.hietbrink.com/ They also sell 'exhaust snaps'. Out of interest, what's an exhaust snap? They look a bit like a muffler.

Yes, I believe it came with a semi-automatic antenna. As in, you had to flick a switch to make it go up, it wouldn't go up as you turned the radio on... This is what I've been told anyway.

eheheehe I'm sure you'll get me next time I slip up mate

No, it's not just you. HTML, smilies, and even the board code (can't even quote you properly!) has been turned off for some reason... so we can't even post links, or images (unless theyre attached to the message). Strange...

eehehe yeah you want some nabes with good dish Gav if you're planning on entertaining. This one (attached) seems to have way too much positive offset, I'm not sure if the spacers youre using are safe Gav!!! Japanese wordplay joke: What do you get if you turn a deer upside down? Lollies! (do you get that, Alan???)

Yeah, 8 is pretty wide there mate! HI-FIVE!!! You can join our special Watanabe club now! Collect your name-badge at the door. Your wheels seem to be a bit weird lookin - a different style to the classic RS-8. Are you sure that's enough offset? I hope so!!! I think I prefer the classic style to be honest but having not seen them on a car I should hold my judgement! Can't wait until we can see some pics of your car with them on. http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/images/photogallery/autosalon02/autosa5.jpg I thought this was pretty flash too. Not my style but http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/images/photogallery/autosalon/super246z.jpg (cant seem to post images or URL's anymore......... Mike whats the deal?)

I'd rather the Celica underneath it :stupid:

Just quickly did this... its an animated gif so you can see what it looked like before and after. It's only a couple of inches shorter but the difference is noticeable. Maybe on a different angle would be better..

Being the optimist that I am, I'm bookmarking this thread as reference for when I go on holiday to Japan!!!

Oh geez, Alan, Kats, thankyou so much for sharing your knowledge!! I know it might be a long time before I can really afford to buy THAT book. You weren't kidding when you said it was expensive, Alan! A question about the air filter box... is that just a spare one held in the storage container? Wouldn't it be cool if it was a little esky, to keep that Japanese beer in on long journeys!! Again, thanks for everyone's input. I love it!

Oh.. I didnt know about the early badges. Good little extra bit of information to know! Thanks for sharing.

Youre lucky pal!! I was going to bid on that, but after seeing your username decided against it. Good luck with the restoration!

2300GT!!! Wow! You learn something new every day. Thanks for your input Kats. I found a picture of the 2300GT... different grille, door mirror, and some kind of scoop underneath the front. Anyone else want to play spot the difference? http://village.infoweb.ne.jp/~2000gt/2000gt/2300gt/2300-13.jpg
