Lately my mind is bit like my internet browser; too many open tabs, some are frozen,
and I have no idea where the music is coming from.....

The trunk lock opens like a gas filler door on a newer car with a lever inside the car and the doors open with a hand held electronic Popper . like the new cars have now to open the locks .

Here is a picture of my 18rg ..
Previous owner installed ... bought the engine and trans on ebay
I don't know if it has stock internals ..... I DO know ... It's a very strong 18rg !!
I frys the tires thru first gear.... seems the 5 speed trans has a low first gear ..
I have a trd header coming and a pertronic electronic ign. kit coming with a blaster coil ... and will hook up a msd 6A box too .
Nice man!
Whats the legaliy of having shaved door handles where you are? Alot of places it's illegal incase of emergency.
Have you got a hidden handle somewhere?
I have no idea if they are legal here.... door poppers are electronic , on a key chain like most newer cars to open door locks . Plus a hidden button on the exterior of body . ...tonkatoy
I'm in the process of putting the door handles back in . .. That poper was a pain in the b... It's so much easier to use a door handle and I think it will look better also !
