6G Celicas Forums

So after selling my 98 GT-S sometime in July...I decided to seek out my dream car! Here's a little story of my adventure to see a GT-Four, up front and in person, for the very first time...

Dragged two buddies along for the journey. We planned for the 12:30pm sailing at the horseshoe bay terminal in BC, to get to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. Turns out the sailing was full and we waited 3 hours for the next sailing. After 1.5 hrs on the ferry we hauled a** 150km north of Nanaimo to Campbell River (keep in mind the last sailing home is 9pm). Finally arriving at the place we took a look at the car, took it for a spin and worked out the payment details.
The pro: engine is still running strong even with meerly 103,000kms
The cons: various surface rust here and there
The solution: leave the car there, get all the surface rust sanded out and get a full paintjob (at my cost)... then ship it to me

Now, I'm just waiting for it to arrive!....time for some teaser pics!

Lol, your exactly how I felt when I got my 6g. I had already purchased it but due to some difficulty's I had to leave it where I purchased it 2hrs away lol I couldn't even sleep thinking about it.


I could just image how you feel anyway, its not just a 6g, you got yourself the top of the line rare model . Congrats man can't wait to see the whole car.

You do know that thats a WRC version dont you?
Or have I just made your day?

^^ he speaks the truth ^^

congrats on getting the real thing...just wait for the turbo awd rush.

Congrats on buying WRC.

What's the differing detail in the bay that lets you guys know?

Congrats man, enjoy it...another 6GC'ers dream fulfilled.

Heat shield gives it away pretty easy.

The heatshield behind the dipstick.

sweet! i hope to see it on the street someday!

Ya I can't sleep...keep calling the guy asking for updates on the paint job and when it's gonna be shipped out...it was shipped today so hopefully I will get a call sooon... can't wait... dying inside haha





Haha I do know...I do know... =D! and you reminding me just made my day



Thanks man...it's going to be legen.....wait for it.....dary...... (if you watch "How i met your mother" you'd get it haha)



thanksssss...gas is going to be rape...94 octance...but it's gonna be worth every penny haha





Ya for sure, we should organize a meet...had a small 3 car meet few years back but I think we can get together at least 5-6 cars now so it should be goood

You don't need to run 94 octane in your gt four. I've been running shell 91 since I've owned my ST205. As well I also own A 91 Celica Gt-four(st185) that I have owned for the past 4 years(80,000km that ive put on) and it has never seen anything higher than 91 and it has been to a few racing events. As well my 3s powered MR2(sw20) only gets 91 and I've never had any issues with it.

I know that the japanese ron rating translates to about 94 octane but these cars seem to run just fine on 91 (at stock boost although my 91gt four is running 14psi) unlike some of the other japanese turbo vehicles *cough wrx cough*

94 is not offered anywhere near me is the only reason I'm forced to use 91 but have had 0 issues and never heard of anyone having a issue.

Oh well that's good to hear...I was always under the impression that I had to run 94...and only one gas station company offers that in BC i think....(chevron)
I'm glad I now have an option to save some money on gas haha

Some gas stations have 91 octane but up to 10% ethanol blend....what's your opinion on that?....would it harm the engine?

just a few more pics...

Eurou rear lip is sexy

I see the hood spoiler, WRC!!!!

anyone have some suggestions for good front lip that would flow well with the sides and rear?...i was thinking c-one lip...but it costs a pretty penny...any less expensive options out there?

Bite the bullet and pony up for the C-One, you know it makes sense

i vote for getting the eurou front lip to complete the kit.

i'm glad someone from the board bought the car.

Dude...THAT IS SEX! OMG. The white rims just work perfectly. Are those Enkei/Volk?

damn you KL, I'm jealous.

Car looks amazing. PROPS FOR COMING BACK TO THE FAMILY LOL.

omga that does look so sexy...haven't done too much research on getting those yet...how much do they run for?...





ya i looked into that too...seems like i can only get it on their website...gotta look up prices again...





it is so sexy...they are...speedline?...never heard of them...but i suppose as long as they don't crack if i hit a pot hole then they should be ok lol...17's though...they could also use a fresh coat of paint haha





haha thanks jason...how can i ever leave the family...once ur in..ur in..hahaha we should have another meet...call up terry..does he still have his car?..."Prometheus" is down for a meet too..and i think there's a girl in richmond that wanted one as well..."anNa"
