Default Kyosho Spider TF aka Optima Mid Touring Car
Back in 1995 I was reading RC car action magazine doing a shootout between the hot touring cars of the time. And what really caught my interest was the kyosho spider EP, which was basically an Optima Mid with short arms, short shocks and short shock towers.
The following year, I saw a NIB kit being sold in my LHS. Being only 18 at the time, I couldn't afford to buy it. It had a 1994 round lights celica body painted silver on the box, and a small naked pic of the chassis, which was obviously an Optima Mid SWB.

Does anyone have this car and the original Box? I would love to see it again.
