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.

Custom RPM-adjustable ACIS controller project complete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Jaycar kit is all soldered together and functional, my secondary VSV is clicking open with power and closed on discharge like it should, I've got it set to come on slightly above idle to verify whether the ACIS throttles open correctly or not at the set RPM and they do!!! I found out the reason why they get stuck open is because when the VSV shuts off the vacuum is trapped in the line... So I used a plastic hose coupling and carefully placed a tiny half-millimeter hole in it (by heating up the wire in a twist tie and stabbing it through to the centre) so that the atmosphere could relieve enough pressure to close the ACIS throttles again without hindering their ability to open under vacuum.

Now I just need someone to hold my gas pedal on about 4400 (I'm guessing is a good figure) so i can dial it in and then off I go for a test drive!
