0R10N Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Ed is it possible to leave a strip of tint along the top of the window to satisfy compliance? Good point! I'll ask if they can slice the tint off below the 2nd defroster strip from the top, which should preserve the decal. In fact, the place which complied squid did this when it came into NZ originally: It might be a bit hard to see, but they left a strip of tint along the bottom edge of the screen.

Dell'orto Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Pardon my ignorance, but what's the difference between the old mirrors and new? Also it's your fault I am getting one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Pardon my ignorance, but what's the difference between the old mirrors and new? Also it's your fault I am getting one GOOD. Old mirrors (1984-88 spec) New mirrors (1989 spec). Spot the difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dell'orto Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Ahh, I see...may be a facelift thing? fairly sure my old SC had them as well, and this potential one does too. Much nicer looking! Edit: nope, old one definitely had the early type mirrors, and nearly 100% certain latest one has the new type, both are 87 models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: nope, old one definitely had the early type mirrors, and nearly 100% certain latest one has the new type, both are 87 models. They're part of what's referred to as the AW11 "final facelift". <foamer> In 1989 (technically September 1988) the final run of Jap spec AWs (and possibly North America) received more aerodynamic mirrors, a FRP rear spoiler with integrated LED brake light, and mirror-tinted T-tops. The interior seat pattern was also changed. </foamer> I did the same with the last one I owned. It's quite a commonly performed modification on earlier AW11s especially if you are lucky enough to find the bits, e.g. in Japan where there's almost always guaranteed to be a set of mirrors on Yahoo.

thegreatestben Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 They are sw20 mirrors apparently. Gearing up for the gay train. But yeah my red one was Dec 88 build and had them. In fact the red colour mine was and shown above was only for the same period so if they are that colour your spoiler and mirrors will be final spec.

azzurro Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Spotted! @ Tyretech Glenfield. Post inspection wheel alignment maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 Good spotting Kyle, yup wheel alignment and two new front tyres as the originals had sidewall cracks from disuse. Not long to go now, just a bit more red tape to sort out. Hoping it will be ready for this month's Caffeine and Classics if not burgermeat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashkellybarr Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Back at the panelbeaters' this week for further compliance repairs. I never knew that certifiers/compliance inspectors were allowed to find new items to fail on subsequent rechecks, but now I do! Discuss: http://oldschool.co....1-sc-chit-chat/ Hey mate nice aw! Will be mint once it's done!This sucks man, I'm pretty sure WOF guys can do the same :/ I've resently pulled my factory shocks out, they all have sway tabs and all are damper adjustable, would you be interested in the part numbers to see how they differ? Cheers Ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajg193 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Too much effort, just buy some plates and tags off Hustle Live/Dirty south car club/OFFICIAL NZ RWD Toyota - Buy / Sell / Trade & Advice. /Hopefully they don't just keep on finding things. What did they find this time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 They weren't happy with the look of the front radiator support panel (it had been pushed upwards and a bit of surface rust was present, most likely from striking something on the road), so it has to be sandblasted/stripped back then a decision made on what to do from there. Hey mate nice aw! Will be mint once it's done!This sucks man, I'm pretty sure WOF guys can do the same :/I've resently pulled my factory shocks out, they all have sway tabs and all are damper adjustable, would you be interested in the part numbers to see how they differ?CheersAsh Cheers dude! Yes please, that would be useful. Fairly certain your inserts have been replaced with aftermarket adjustable damper items, but the strut carrier part numbers should still match up. Actually I now have some proper facelift AW11 rear struts with swaybar tabs courtesy of myk00l, so will have to tidy them up and buy some new inserts when funds allow.

Ashkellybarr Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Sweet man I'll clean EM up and take some snaps tomorrow. My aw came with them when I bought it, I don't know much about them, thought they were an option on FL?? Maybe not, I know my car had some work done years ago Mine also came with 18mm front sway and 14mm rear sway. I have what I think is a sw20 18mm rear sway here too??
