I paid $9200 for her which I think isn't too bad considering all the other Twin Turbos around here from car lots that import them are going for about $14000. The RHD is kind of wierd at first but it only takes maybe a day and a half or so to get used to it and I love it more than Left Side now. As for the shiny thing above the "oh shit" bar in the door it is a sticker written in all japanese that comes from the factory. I have no idea what it says but its kinda cool for that whole authentic look inside. and not all the ttr's came with yellow fogs, mine came with stock clear ones. maybe it was an option??

Yea Ive seen that on a celica all-trac it just tells you to let the car turbo time more if you go on long trips or up hills

someone could have changed the bulb. IIRC, the housing is clear but the bulb is yellow.

There is a yellow reflector ( or something like that) in the JDM fog lights. Someone must have taken it out. JDM's run the same white lights we do.

ya thats always possible that my lights were switched.....and thanks for the info on the sticker, saves me learning Japanese lol. the cars interior should be a lot cleaner soon as I am getting new floor mats made for it as the current ones are out of a skyline (came from japan that way) and the center console is getting recovered as there is a small 1cm tear in it. Oh and the shifter knob is going cause its faded. And whats wrong with chilliwack? I'm in the dark on that one, call me an idiot i guess haha.

What is the difference between the JZA70, and the JZA70 TT-R?

I was told (so don't quote me on it) that the type R has the full Recaro interior and a different suspension setup than the jza70

The TTR had a more agressive suspension. A recaro interior as well.


What most of us in the states have when we do swaps would be a 2.5 Twin Turbo Limited
Which is basically stock suspension and a regular cloth/leather interior
