Facelift Altezza

[Dave]

Bought this over the weekend.

Don't shoot me ha ha!

Very nice car and very different to the mx5 in good and bad ways!

Small enough spec on it, but wasn't messed with and good solid original car.
-exedy clutch
-luk flywheel
-braided brake lines(standard brake lines there two)
-New battery fitted
-MAK 18 inch alloys
-full trd kit with new fogs
-trd dampers, haven't checked springs yet
-trd axle back exhaust
-trd spark plugs
-full leather interior with stamped Altezza badges

Going to daily this soon and plan is for a driving work in progress project.

It's a very clean car, I'm just very picky and needs a few bits doing.
-New Tyres
-Service
-Gearbox and diff oil change
-Coolant Change
-T/b and w/p change
-Clean up and scrapes etc

Does it not still have the big brake kit?

Love the look of it but couldn't face the interior myself

[Dave]

Ha cheers too be honest I don't know much about these at all! From what I can see online this is the rs200 L-edition so should have factory hid's etc according to tezzaworld but they don't seem to be there.

[mk2glenn]

It used to have a big 4 or 6 pot brake kit on the front but somebody must have taken it off. Trust me you'd see it if it was still on it!

Well the HIDs were probably removed with the original headlights, those are prefacelift headlights in it at the minute.

[Dave]

Ha ha fair enough! You obviously knew the car well!

Anything I should know about it?

Goin to try get the original headlights to suit it.

If there's so much TRD stuff on it it probably had the black TRD headlights before.

Found pic of it

It had Ceika 6 pots on the front & 4 pots on the rear. Some setup!

Someone has also nabbed the facelift tail lights aswell!

I've never actually seen the car it's just easily memorable from the forums!

There is no TRD parts on the car as far as I can see. TRD didn't make black headlights either they were just Toyota options.

[Dave]

Shit that's some brake setup...definitely not there now!ha ha

Hopefully I'll be able to bring it somewhat closer to it's former glory anyway!

It was for sale in Wicklow, and the guy PJ I think was hi name said he got it from his cousins husband (he was a carpenter and never drove the car and it was always garaged) or something along those lines and was selling it as he had a turbo altezza.

Must have been him who took the parts off it so.

Can you send me a link to that thread?

Cheers
