Thanks for the free plug.
Now I don't have to make a 'For Sale' thread.

Jason's SR20-powered silver widey is also a US RHD converted Starion/Conquest. (Forgotten the member in Perth who now owns it?)

There is a Silver JDM with TD07 turbo with [HKS 51R] plates.

scum in Perth has two - one is a Black auto that I sold to him: VIN # 0659 (1990 model)

He said he sold his white GSRV previously.

There's 2 x 2.0 wideys with user WIDEBODYMAN here in WA as well.
I take it that scum and WIDEBODYMAN are different people?

Details on those two widies please (last 4 digits of VIN's would be great also).

That makes it 5 widies in WA.

I know that there used to be a black one in SA (that had JA numbers on it - VIN body swap?) that was for sale a few years ago.

Lol... agreed. Yanks here love em though...
it had 370 HP at the wheels previously, but the monkey who tuned it for max power, made it max pain for reliability.
Maximum pain lol. Good luck with your sale, hope it goes to a good home.

From what I remember widebodyman's cars are uk imports as he is a uk expat.

There was also a black 1989 widebody at alljap I think it was, it sold to someone unknown, it came in before the pre 89 rule. I wanted to take a look at it but found out about it after it had sold.

I'll update the thread later with my vin details.

I love wide bodies, don't get me wrong but when I was a kid i fell in love with Starions because of the original JA. I will always prefer a dead clean original JA (preferably in silver or yellow) to any other model.I just find the original has the most unique styling cues, everything from then on was just designed in response to a market for example the wide body for the US market. As I said , I like them all and would gladly own a widey or JB or JD it's just my preference.
