4 months ago with previous 15" R33 non-turbo wheels & while it had the all Black front end ..
Recent photo with 14" Starion wheels & new White front end minus foglights ..
Debating at the moment whether to go 80's White on the wheels or whether to go Black again ..

Didnt the NSW hiway patrol run these for a while ,back in the day??There is one of these at a wreaker not to far from here,looks complete and untouched atm.
rob
They did, until apparently they crashed them all due to the torque steer that these were renowned for, haha.
No chance you know the name of the wreckers ?
Best to send Rob a message maybe. I've always had a soft spot for these, problem is they always seem to be modified wrong. Glad to see this is being taken care of. This is 114.3? MA61 wheels on this would be cooool
Cheers man, it's unfortunate to see that most that do show up on the web are completely riced out. There are a few guys on the forum though who are still kicking around that have done them correctly to begin with which is a relief, they should post on more forums.
I'd love a set of MA61 wheels for this ! The stud pattern is indeed the same, they just seem to be impossible to find !
Dont no if you got pm ,Guyra wreakers 0267791964.Looked very similar to yours from a distance.
I'm just glad your name isn't Roger
Looks good, these things are funny as!
