Time we had pictures of everyones Japanese wagons

[LordGrover]

I thought the GT4 only came in yeller?

[texasjohn]

I thought they came in yellow or black.

But I'm not sure.

It was a dangerous foray onto Autotrader as I ended up looking at the 370Z too!

[DannyScene]

I thought it was that ultra yellow only, colour code E33

I remember reading it in fastcar absolutely years ago and liking the colour so much I memorised the colour code for my dream supra (still a dream)

[MGZRod]

Haven't posted in a while, and looking at pictures of when the car is vaguely clean, thought I may as well post a couple

Spotted by 'CC8S' off here:


At the top of a very icy and snowy Lecht last year:


At the top of Cairn O' Mount earlier this year (I think!)


And lastly how it spends most of it's time. With part of it jacked up and myself and friends fixing things:


Since I bought it it's had:
Welding (standard)
New exhaust, had a catback on before. Tubular manifold, new gaskets, braided lines, and 3" from the turbo back, including new elbow, downpipe and a nicer catback section.
New brakes, skyline calipers and some drilled & grooved discs (2nd hand, need replacing soon)
Rebuilt rear calipers with new seal kit
Various different bumpers, side skirts etc etc.
Full brand new HSD coilovers all round.
Various things like upgrading lights etc
a couple dump/recirc valves, settled for removing entirely and running it 'pigeoned'
And many, many tyres.

Should be sitting at around 290-300bhp/310lb-ft. Got 286bhp/300lb-ft before I had any exhaust work done.

Good fun but possibly fancy a change next year.

The GT4 came in yellow and black.

100 were black and 76 yellow IIRC

So many lovely looking motors in here

I need to get a better photo of mine but for now:

I had to sell on my Celica GT4 as it was costing too much to run; so I opted for a 2009 Suzuki Swift Sport. Cheap to run and fun, just what I need!

I always felt the Celica was too powerful for around my area, so this with a usable 125bhp is perfect.

This is a great thread to just browse through - been looking for something with four seats and Jap to replace my MR2 turbo.

[Polishingpedlar]

Just joined so thought I would say hello and Here's my GT 86. Had it since October and love it.

Quad exhausts? TRD or summink else?

[Butter Face]

Just a few of my lovely Type-R. 115k on the clock and still going strong.

The retrimmed alcantara wheel is a new (and much loved) addition.

I wanted one before I got the Celica but as a first car I couldn't make the insurance add up, I only paid £800 fully comp for my Celica with 0 NCB which I thought was good

Already got a huge list of mods for the EP3

Someone told me there is about 1500 changes between the preface and the facelift models so some research is needed before I buy

Yep, it's a TRD. It's Toyotas ex press car. Picked it up for a very good price and it's had a map done to release a few more hp as well as a K&N.
