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.

Catch tank is bout $50 or $60, You'll need to get your own oil hose for it as the one provided with the tank is too thin and small, it constricts and probably melts, stupid chinese stuff. Can get it from Super Cheap Auto or Repco.

The dash is pretty simple, theres a long plastic trim piece over the steering wheel and ignition ring u just pull out and it exposes all the screws u need to unscrew, 8 in total to pull out the gauge cluster... 4 along the top trim piece and 4 on the gauge cluster... just carefully pull it out and then squeeze out the 3 wiring harness clips... the 3 biggest bulb holders are the ones for the background colour... its a 12v source so LED's need to be resistored. So just buy the direct replacement bulbs from that site, its the T10's (direct replacement for Type 194) u want for the gauge cluster and the little T5's (direct replacement for Type 74/75) for your glove box, ignition ring, coin holder, cigarette lighter ring, the small warning lights in the gauge cluster...... Its very easy (5 minute job) once u know where every snap and screw is, and theyre mostly obvious... TBH your rear speaker installation is a dog of a job compared to this
