History
The 1996-spec car was originally purchased by a Japanese gentleman (guessing based on the detritus in the car) in Tokyo in 1997. He seems to have spent a lot of money on TRD parts for this RZ-S, including dashboard, suspension and exhaust upgrades and a genuine Getrag/TRD gearbox and diff cooler (only set I have ever encountered).
It came to Australia in 1998, and was purchased as a daily driver by a friend of mine. I purchased it from him in 2007; where it became my weekend toy. It really does not get out much at all these days, but there is no way I will part with it.
My goal is to take it back to "as-delivered" specifications; which will set it apart from the more common modified versions.
