i was obsessed with the GD R33, it still looks fantastic!

[@time603]

I seem to remember that you put a hilux diff in your green sprinter project? Was it later called Dirty Ibis?

[@VideosbyBenEllis]

Yes, but that wasn't my car, it belonged to Jeremy Shields who worked for me at the time on HPI and Drift Battle

[@bradhackett9103]

what happened to the project R32 4 door Ben?. I remember the HPI magazines and videos and followed the updates/write ups.

@@VideosbyBenEllis i loved the project starlet, and the 7mgte soarer that you sold to another HPI contributer. I own a 1994 GT starlet and a Cressida with a 7mgte with 430hp at the wheels. from memory the z30 soarer was converted to 2j when they were $2500 for a half cut
