Red Celica ST205 GT4

Cheers benji - it does drive ever so well, tonnes of power and traction. Such good value for money if you can get a good 'un. Have yet to pass another one in nearly 18 months on the road (aside from going to GT4 meets) so 'rarability' too!

Smashing lookin car. Rare colour your mods are in exceptional taste.

Only a small update but a good one, took out the old throttle cable (which is about x4 longer than the one I replaced it with and would wind its way around the engine bay, over the turbo across the heatshield etc.) and put in a cable from an ST202. It also took out a little bit of slack in the throttle, which means a tap on the throttle response is a bit more instant - have to learn to be a bit more subtle in traffic but even that extra bit of sharpness helps the car feel a bit more responsive on the gas.

Latest update, new front end, a bit more aggression and low slung look to it - loving it :-)

Just remembered I had a thread on here, for anyone who might be interested in these little beasts some updates.

Have been tinkering over the last few months, no big changes but attempting to look after the small things :-)

Engine needed a clean up so many brushes, gunk remover and metal polish later...





Some nicoman mats, totally rubber but very comfortable and super hard wearing...





A new insert for the HKS SSQV to give a lower pitch to the BoV...



Something a bit 90s added to the rear brake light...



And a turnout at Ace Cafe to plenty of plaudits...!

Nice! I had a ST185 GT4A back in the day! Pretty rare one that, flared arches, nice leather & premium sound system. Few Blitz/HKS parts fitted and had it mapped to around 270 then the engine popped a few months later gutted!!

Always liked the 205’s not many nice ones around now

Thanks Griffin, yes the engines can be a bit temperamental so keeping mine on standard boost still makes 280 though which is more than enough. Very excited as just booked ferry tickets for the Euro trip I am doing in it in July, me and a few mates in a Boxster, 911 X50, Vantage, BRZ a nice mix of cars.
