Yep! I decided to buy it, Yes it is an SS-III, No it doesn't have Beams.

It had 74,480 Kms on the odometer when I took the keys today,

What's it got?
SS-III side skirts
Super Strut Suspension
Front & Rear Strut bars
3S-GE motor, Non VVT-i
16 Inch Factory Toyota wheels, 215/50R16
3 Spoke Steering Wheel
Auto A/C electronic climate control unit
Modern JDM tail lights
Modern JDM front bumper
Modern 3 Post spoiler

What it doesn't have?
Beams motor
White interior
Airbags
Front and rear splitters
red splash interior carpet (mines blue splash)
Sunroof
extra knob on driver seat which remembers the driving position of the back rest

It's an amazing upgrade from the '95 SS-I so I'm going to post pictures in this thread and list the things I do to it in time. I got a few things in mind which I'll list later on.

I'm really keen to get my pod filter on but unfortunately my SRI pipe doesn't have the correct nipples on it so in the mean time I got this idea from staring at Rusty's engine for a while that I'll use a 3" plastic joiner to connect the pod filter onto the stock rubber pipe and I've pulled out the resonator box and measured the connector diameter at 52mm so I went to a home building supplies warehouse and purchased a piece of PVC plumbing pipe to fit the hole with a cap on the end. I drilled a 20mm hole in the cap to place the rubber grommet and temperature sensor from the air box.


SRI, needs different nipples to be used with 3S-GE


cheap wildcat filter, does the trick


3" joiner plastic already connected to pod filter
