GX71 GT from Florida U.S.
by Yellow_feva, 02-11-2020, 12:15 AM
Well Ive owned lots of old school Japanese cars but never a legit and extremely rare JDM car, got her about 2 months ago and since then Ive been cleaning her, doing all the maintenance and taking care of all the little things that are wrong with her.

Car specs:
1985 Toyota GX71 Mark II GT Model
Twin turbo 1G-GTE engine
24 valve twin cam
OEM 2 way 8 inch LSD differential

Suspension:
Front: JIC front coilovers with camber plates
Rear: Ae86 springs and shocks

Interior:
Completely stock and beautiful other than half a cage.

Wheels:
Rare SSR MK1's
front:14x8 -0 offset 4.5 inch lip
rear: 14x9 -25 offset 5.5 inch lip

Future plans well for now keep on with the maintenance and later on 2013 a good 2 tone Japanease paint job

All right on with the pics:

[Image: 80A2E2CD-8385-436C-893F-7A958DDF1534-399...68C7AE.jpg]

Installing the shift boot I found under the center console draw door a real japanease auto federation sticker and other labels all over the interiors that I need translated.

Anyboody know nihonggo?

I think this is the only GT in the states so I have a couple of questions on the car.

1) The 1g-gteu is not an engine that came to the U.S. so what can I do to the engine to modify and achieve 300hp?

2) The car still has the bozo 1.5 inch straight exhaust from Japan so should I go for 3 inch or 2.5?

3) I'm actually working on the rear end installing new boots, wheel bearings and brakes but there's no parts for this car here so what parts interchange with the rear end and brakes for this car. MX73?

4) How special is the GT model and what's so special about it, any info you guys can provide on the car I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.
