can anyone guess what it is?

nice guy saw me snapping pics and came out from having lunch in his dads hotel and popped the bonnet for me.

more pics if interest is expressed and big prize to first one who states the obvious and works out what it is..

pretty unusual over here, the only real tuners you see are a couple of beat up Hondas lightened and covered in stickers. So even hidden under a tarp this caught my eye..

It IS a Celica. The A pillar and wing mirror give it away..

and the last two posts have it!

he got it done in thailand by a pretty serious tuner there, he didnt know what boost he was running or even what kind of engine was in it. The 17yr old owner just grinned and said 'fast'.

The roads are bad here but late at night pretty empty so might be worth the fun factor as long as you can afford to replace the shocks every 2 weeks..

This is incorrect. In fact many believe it to be the secret to a long and happy life.

and man, i thought i was good for hooking up 2 guages ;)

haha i thought someone would shoot me down for sounding misogynist but then i remembered which forum i was on ;)

Its almost too easy here though girls wise, im in for a very harsh reality check when i get home..

as for gauges, i believe its become some kind of status symbol here, i have seen Camry's with them and just about everything on four wheels has giant plastic spoilers, blue/purple/red flashing leds on mirrors/bonnets/grilles and of course a family of soft snoopy/hello kittys on the dash.

Its like sussex st sydney X eleventy bazillion.

pfft. as compensation, you may send the young lady in pic 1 over my way. i might decide to let this slide if you do :blink:

ah sorry about that basti, saw your post earlier but the fifty cent beers had taken their toll by the time I replied and thats the best i can do by way of explanation. As for compensation, her name is Dahli and if you can wing your way over here with fifty bucks in your wallet (plus 14 for a room in a 3 star hotel, mines called the Walkabout and does aussie breakfasts) I will give you her number :(

ps. the pineapples for her not me, and thats all night knocking back cocktails, hitting the dance floor and then whatever the hell else you want..

baahaha all good man. do the rest of us who cant be in cambodia atm proud! also, what fkn pineapple? lol

its a ghetto sydney euphemism for a fifty buck note. see how its all yellow and stuff? A twenty is a lobster and not sure about the one hundreds, only heard it used in Redfern or from bogans out west but i like it.

    • You have (externally anyway) a lot of patience!  At the very least your patience has rewarded you financially even if you decided you were over it!! I only just read your first experience of seeing the car, that would have been amazing!  Well documented too! It must be exciting knowing there's only 10 months left until you can get it on a boat and on it's way!!!???
    • Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍
    • I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.
    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
