That looks great! Can't see the sun damage on the roof in these pictures, but otherwise the paint looks great. It's definitely lowered. It's already had the jdm front indicators installed which is nice. That could be an interesting exhaust under there, is it a single outlet? Since it's already had the wing mounting holes covered over I think you'd be best off going with a rev 5 wing. You'd have to re-drill some holes on the rear panels to refit the OEM wing. The knob is to adjust the height of the seatbelt. Just pull on it and you can move the upper fixture up and down.

Interesting, I'm not seeing any holes on the boot lid, maybe it got painted over? Do you have power windows? Rev 5 wing looks pretty cool but late model rear lights and late model front lip really has to go with it IMO. But I like the look of Rev 3+ as well Rare hardtops is now a myth lol, well it's only rare in the US I guess

The exhaust is dual outlet, there large but not over the top. i wont change them. and im thinking the Rev-5 is going to be the option anyway. i couldn't c any holes in the lid either, think it s a whole new lid. even the antenna, isnt that supposed to sit on the right? and yeah i got power windows, and a new horn :)

Another quick thing, the plastic lining under the front bumper has been ripped, most probably because it been lowered. Can you replace that? or does it require a new bumper? Thinking of leaving the body stock, and just adding the wing. (Just not a fan of the front fender)

I think the models in Japan were - G limited, G, GTS, and GT, in order of trim and spec. I may have missed on in there...

A "G" with no spoiler is the most basic trim level offered for the JDM SW20s. Without optional extras there are no spoilers, no power windows, no A/C. Which also means it's the most lightest and a perfect candidate as a track car. It's also pretty damn rare possibly even more rare than a Rev 5?? (dunno maybe lol) However...if your boot lid got swapped then it might not be a genuine "G". Only way to really know is if you check the Chassis No. or Frame No. on Toyodiy which you can find on a metal card under the frunk I think. I've got one side of the plastic lining as a spare if you need it. Need to check which side tho...you can have it for free or only pay postage if interstate. +1 leaving the body stock, I personally have difficulty finding an aftermarket kit better than late model stock but that's subjective...

Welcome. I just had a Beau Maddin/Maddern in my course at college in Newcastle. Where are you located - please fill in the details so 'locals' can help you on your way. Personally, I like the no-spoiler look.

Because we are having trouble getting it to fire on all 4 properly, im not 100% sure the windows work. Putting it on ACC doesn't get the car's windows or even the speakers working not even in the on position, but when it runs i will try the windows and stuff. The number in the spare Tyre bay is SW20-0017295 The boot is 100% clean of defects, no fill in's where holes were drilled. or on the rear side panels. Super cheap didnt have the NGK BKR6EP-8 plugs they had -11. So he referred me to Repco, but there closed now. (Can i use BKR6E?) The car fires, splutters, idles for a few seconds, then you try and give it some gas n up the revs, just snuffs out.

"Putting it on ACC doesn't get the car's windows working." They should work with ignition fully on, even if the motor is not running.

So i replaced the plugs with BKR6E (Copper alternative) to BKR6EP-8 Car still don't start, None of the electrics work, so weird, the fan starts in "ON" position, but nothing else. the lights work while your trying to start the car. Car is all like chika chika chika chika chika chika chika but not VROOM, wum wum wum wum wum wum Not sure where to look next.

^comp test is a good idea Yeh just keep doing the basics like air, fuel, spark (forgot which order lol) and eventually you'll find the problem

Btw that was meant to say hey welcome nice buy shame she won't start :(
And vaccum hoses ( all the hoses that connect to your Intake and tb )
Distributor, leads, igniter, is it throwing any ecu codes if I remember In my previous code it threw a faulty O2 sensor engine light flashes for a number which equates to your engine code number
Also comp test in my car with 225xxxkms came up 182-185-185-190 which is really good So make sure there all about the same within 10 psi of each other A tester you can get from super heap or any auto place I paid 45$ for mine
If its blown a head gasket your water will be milky colour and it will be through your oil as well
If it is down on compression Try liqui moli full engine detox and flush few mechanics swear by it.
But yeah start with the basics really mate. :)
