We were told it's an old Prova designs body

@@GarethBargate it looks original

Yep you're too smart, that's exactly it. But no, steering wheel changed and thats the airbag sensor.

Thanks... no vlogs, but might do some more videos with it soon. People seem to like it.

Agreed, I doubt Toyota would have ever expected to see it in something like this. There's a new (and better) gearbox on the way as well. Aiming to do a much more in-depth walkaround / breakdown in the next week or two.

Lol thanks, figured since the original car is a V12, it would be better to put another V12 in, instead of the V8.

Thanks, unfortunately it won't be for sale. If you're based in NZ, maybe check out one of the Countach Replica / Lamborghini Replica groups on FB - I'm sure I've seen a few for sale there.

Technically the same car, just the chassis code is different depending on the market (FD3S for Japan and JM1FD for the North America).

Oh thanks

It's an early Prova / Mirage kit. We're still unsure which one.

Thanks yeah, this is my car. It's running much better since this video...go check out some of my newer ones.

Thanks. Yeah, the body mold is from a genuine Countach, and a full custom tube chassis to support it - not based on another car like a MR2, Fiero etc. So the proportions are pretty good.

@@GarethBargatewhen’s the next video coming? Are you going to do a stock motor or build it? Would love a deep dive into the motor such a weight and other dimensions. Would be cool to compare that Vs other motors. Are you going to run a Pdk trans? Is the chassis custom?

Just waiting for a few more parts, then thinking of doing a more "in-depth" walkaround type of video. But to answer your questions: - Stock motor (for now, just a mild refresh), but will obviously have a custom exhaust - Trans is a traditional 5 speed manual - Chassis is custom. They were built specifically for these bodies.

Its a Ford V8, probably 302 or 351.

Interesting...I'll update it.

Are you quoting Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg?

All cars in south africa are rhd bro

A few videos back I uploaded a 10 minute version of the car on the dyno when it was being run in - there are a few clips of it going through the gears there.

Its completely stock

Appreciate it

Correct, it stays on the North Coast now in a nice garage. I've bought all the (genuine) parts to facelift it to a 99 spec now as well. It'll be gone for a while when that's done.

Round two soon, going for more boost

AE.

Agreed, what a gem to have, especially in stock condition.

Unfortunately been sold now, don't know what the new owner is doing with it.

@@GarethBargate ok thanks

Rev limiter.

Probably t56
