Way ahead of you, well by about 2 hours and well just seems everything I thought I knew about the car, the club is telling me otherwise, seems a good club though, so will take their word for it.

Good place for info. Plenty of people to help on there.

Thought only the ST182 GTR had 4ws?

Well I am trying to find out, I was told by the seller it had four wheel steer, now I am not so sure.

My current dodgy looking track day car:



It has a 2.0 EVO lump under the bonnet:





The bodywork looks a bit naff close up, so its all being reshelled into this Proton GTI




With the 4wd running gear from this EVO.




Hopefully a good substitute for the Impreza I sold.

that looks a pretty cool project, would love to hear how it gets on. You in the readers cars section?

In that case I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Only the previous generation came with 4WS. You have a normal SS2 with fig 8's.

Correct me if I'm wrong though

Stupid question, how would I check if it has or not?

[OlberJ]

Reach around (ooer) the front of the wheel to where the ball joints and macpherson strut normally are and you'll feel an arched part if it's superstrut.



It's the extra "strut" that comes down to the right of the hub there.

I think she was talking about the 4WS. I think.

If you were, Kit, then turn your steering wheel in one direction and the wheel should move the other way. Although the last car I know that actually had it was the last generation Prelude.

Yes I was, sorry usual bad English. Although both are up for questioning at the moment, and been told by the Celica club that if it is 4WS then there will be an ST203 in the chasis code. Will do this also. What a farce.

Well, I've just purchased another R33 GTR. Certainly one of the cleanest cars I've ever seen. Ever. A real credit to the former owner.

Will post pics after I take osme this weekend...

No at the moment, but I will do.

Id like to say that im the first to think of it, but there are lots of Colt4wdEvo's worldwide and at least two Proton4wdEvo's already in the Uk

I know that they are getting on for ten years old, but with 300+bhp and 4wd in a sub 1000kg shell it makes a nice cheaper & fun alternative to another Seven, Elise or Scoob/Evo.

Wagons? Wagons?

Ok then...

[JFReturns]

That is cool^

[texasjohn]

Thank you, it certainly gets a lot of 'double takes'

Just need to get it remapped, 330/350 is achieveable with just an exhaust. Stock is 265/290

I like.

I have a CA Gti that has been track prepared, an Evo conversion is something that I have considered for a few more bhp.

Id put up pictures of our two Foresters, but the only STI thing on them is the suspension. And thats only cos the two owners in question upgraded their shocks.

I have to agree though, very practical cars and highly under rated.
