Bought my 88 TEMS on T/me for $350 back in May 09

Car was in pretty bad shape, no WOF or rego, blown motor etc, but as I'd bought it for spares it wasn't a problem.
Only when I saw the special rev counter and TEMS switch, the electronic shocks etc did I decide to restore her and scrap the other body.

History is interesting, imported from JDM in 95 and sold by a Sports Car dealer in Newmarket for $18 000.
It was bought by a young lady and driven by her for 11yrs.
Most GT-R's were selling around that time for $8000
The 2nd owner was a guy in Papatoe, fortunately he only had it for 3yrs
The whole idea behind this car was to enhance/update/customize the car without using anything that wasn't OEM/TRD.
So not only is the car itself scarce but the changes are unique.
Stock Navy interior, electric drivers seat, retracting mirrors

The gauges - not your average JDM!, I have another 240k speedo plus some OZ
versions if anyone is interested

6 months of stripping, prepping and swapping and she flew through WOF early in December,

I'd been collecting spares for 3yrs and by then had aquired 2 other complete cars and
a mountain of hard-to-find parts for my project
http://i493.photobucket.com/albums/rr292/_MrMagoo/Grouphug1-1.jpg
1st step was to add the 5 Gen7 rims & tyres I'd bought (you guessed it) on T/me for $400
http://i493.photobucket.com/albums/rr292/_MrMagoo/Cars/TEMS%20car/PA240013.jpg
Somehow these rims seem to bring out the best in the ST16x series
Followed by the ST202 front brakes/calipers I'd aquired for the pricely sum of $80 at PickaPart,
here's a comparison shot - the gen6 brakes will not fit under stock 14' rims

A Gen2 exhaust installed and a 3 core Corona diesel radiator fitted -
radiator was later replaced with a 2 core ST162 automatic version due to clearance/hose problems

A set of smaller ST182 radiator fans installed to make room for those headers

New Nolathane bushes installed along with 202 brakes, I junked the dust covers

Gen1's seem to all suffer from harness chafe across the head and can lead to some interesting wiring faults

A "new" one was sourced from a dead ST182
The NADM repeaters are flat and have reflective material inside, courtesy of a friend in California

No it's not on - that's a reflection of the camera flash
http://i493.photobucket.com/albums/rr292/_MrMagoo/Cars/TEMS%20car/PB140008.jpg
There were no rear grafix - I made these matte black versions up myself and now able to make up any Celica grafix to OEM specs or custom
