FS: FULL ST205 COVERSION!!!, 94 with 97 JDM drivetrain-Black-Colorado Options

[4g-gt-four]

I am posting for a friend who is not on this forum. But I figured there would be a lot of interest here so here we go. It is a 94 celica gt that has been converted to have an st205 drivetrain. Its best time at bandimere speedway here in Colorado(well above 5,000 feet in elevation ) was a 13.3.
Eveything is up to stock st205 spec, but above and beyond that...
mods:
Drivetrain
-Mines ECU
-Apexi AFC tuned to 11.5 a/f across the board
-3in downpipe
-JDM sheep dog "Prof" Blow off valve
-HKS intake
-custom 3in exhaust
-Spec stage 2+ clutch( approx 5k miles on it)
-Fidanza 9lb flywheel with removable friction surface
suspension
-Gab sport struts(front has been converted to st205 superstrut with new parts)
-TRD coil springs
-Gram light wheels
Brakes
Stock st205, but you would NEVER need better brakes bigger than these on a 3000lb car(w/ driver). And yes we weighed it. It made me and my 3450lb car(also w/ driver) want to cry. Same brakes as a TT Supra
The body is all stock st205, but im sure you are all wondering if it has these items(it does)
-Gt-four front bumper
-Gt-four hood(wrc)
-Gt-four spoiler risers
Things it is missing:
-The rocker panel molding, but the ones off of a 25th ani would be perfect.
-Also missing the projector headlights but technically, 94's did not have that .
-And last, it needs jdm tail lights

The rear gas tank could not be used with the st205 rear subframe so it was eliminated and replaced by a 10gallon fuel cell. Right now, it needs paint. But he will be having it painted before sale to recoop some of the massive amount of money he is losing in this car. It will be repainted by a guy who does work on all kinds of vintage and exotic cars. I have been told that a ferrari was once shipped to him from California for his quality of work

I only have one picture of the car at this time, and its not a good one. Once he gets the car up to me I will take more pictures(old friend from high school. He goes to school in Denver, I go to school in Fort Collins)

The reason for selling is that the car has put him into very unstable debt and he is having financial trouble trying to balance College and car payments
Asking price is $14,000 with new paint. He will accept offers without paint if your speedy about it
Thanks guys!

Thats this car isn't it?

[4g-gt-four]

yes it is. but as lot has bben replaced and it is getting a very expensive paint job the new owner will be getting:
a new jdm engine w/ about 40,000km's on it
spec stage 2+ clutch w/ fidanza flywheel(the act grenaded )
New paint
possibly apexi gauges, but Kevin has not decided if he is selling them with the car yet
All coming out to roughly $3500 on top of the 11k he payed for the car
EDIT: I guess there is no reason to post more pics of the car with the link provided by walker... LOL
The front bumper was spray painted at the time, and a lot of it has flaked off since the pics were taken the last time the car is up for sale. But that wont matter once we paint it.

Also, we put the trunk panels back in.

Its not up for trade. He needs to dig himself out of the debt this car cornered him into in the first place

Wow, I cant believe this car is still for sale. I saw this thread a long time ago when i was selling leftover parts from my clip. I guess noone here is really interested in having an awd celica
There are many things you are not considering...
1) its one of two, which funny enough are both up for sale
2) He is asking 14k with BRAND new paint, and 14k does not mean thats the only offer he will consider
3)His is modified, 265 horsepower at all 4 wheels to be exact
4)Celiman05 is not asking enough for his. Considering that only two are in the country, he needs to reconsider his price. But im sure Kevin would most likely take $13.5 cash if it was waved in his face..

Also, if you could remove the pictures of celiman05's car so people dont think it is Kevins and just leave the link to his FS thread, that would be great

Considering that only two are in the country..

Keep in mind that there are a few REAL st205's in the states as well. GL with the sale.

more up-to-date pics please?

yea, but who will be selling one of those!! lol

Honestly, the car is in the exact same condition visually as when it was first bought from Kostas(in the thread linked by walker) minus the fact that the paint on the front bumper is mostly flaked off. But I will be getting updated pictures as soon as Kevin can get the car up to me. Which would be this weekend at the earliest.

Keep in mind that Kevin would likely accept an offer of about 12k without paint.

I jus wanted to point out that car modifications do not raise value of car. Meaning that a 1994 celica thats worth 2200 as per kelly blue book is still 2200 even if you put 45000 wheels on it. Car modifications raise emotional value of car and buyer pays for that. Thats called premium. If you were interested in say a barnfind restoration of 1917 Duzenberg you would pay 80,000 for it because its one of a kind, a collectors car, none like it, will resell for higher value and or is a perfect addition to a museum.

Think about it this way.

ANY old thing does not cost as much as new thing.
2ng gen engine only costs 4500 to swap
add 2200 for car
add 2000 for other things and you still have vehicle priced under 10 grand.

You sir, have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, or what this car is.. It is All wheel drive. And believe me, it costs way more to swap in an st205 driveline than 4500 not even including labor. I know this first hand, and I would like to point out, that my car was already an all wheel drive platform. Its called supply and demand. There is much demand for the car, and the supply is a total of two. I beg of you, please stay out of this thread and clutter it no further. This is not a debate, its a for sale thread

Nate,
I know your car is in very good condition, but the honest truth is that Kevin needs the money, or else there would be no reason to sell it. He really loves this car. But it has dug him into a hole that he cant climb out of with His GT-FOUR. He needs around 10k to take care of the debt it has caused. Since he has got the car we have had to
1)replace the clutch($432) and flywheel($330)
2)we are currently in the process of relacing the engine. The old one had bad compression on cyl 2(cost of new engine is $2300 shipped, but you can discount about $900 in parts that he will be selling to me and others)
I will be around when you are ready to do your swap. Or if you could somehow get Kev's car, I would always be around to help. But he needs the money. Sorry man, He cant trade..

He only expects to get back what he has put into the car plus paint if thats what it takes to sell it. Mechanically, its in as good as or better condition than any. Its definitely in better condition then when he bought it.

He cant trade for that little of an amount of money because he needs over 6k just to get the title from the bank. And 4k to pay off the high interest personal loan tanken out cover the rest
And he is looking for something in the 1-2000 range that will keep chugging till he is out of school. If you think your car could sell for 7k, do it, then buy his car. He shouldnt have to worry about selling two cars

This Car has been around for sale for a while.
I was tempted, and got a chance to test drive it Long ago.
I still am tempted, but it is an Expensive project.
The person buying it has to have ready cash and a an ability to spend it !
I don't know if I am That guy.

Debt is a Bad place to be. :-(

> 1) its one of two, which funny enough are both up for sale

Funny BOTH need work and are Projects, despite being Rare.
There are Other rumored swaps around, done by people that are
Not on this or other boards.

> 2) He is asking 14k with BRAND new paint, and 14k does not mean thats the only offer he will consider

How much without paint ? Unfortunately "look" plays a Bigger priority in resale than performance. IMHO.

> 3)His is modified, 265 horsepower at all 4 wheels to be exact

Kostas dyno'd it. It Is a Fast car.

> 4)Celiman05 is not asking enough for his.

Celiman05, the CT owner; will get market value and what a buyer is willing to pay.
If he holds out he May get exaclty what he asks for. It is a waiting game....

Farely from Hollywood, Fl. let the car his sit for over a year; thru 2 Ebay auctions;
before Kostas bought it. I wish you better luck.

If they were in Really High demand, they would sell Immediately.
The actual Red ST205, out of NH; sold Quick when the price was Right. :-)
(to Colorado ???)

> But im sure Kevin would most likely take $13.5 cash if it was waved in his face..

I hope Kevin can take deal if it is offered, he may not be able to recoup All of his loss.

Cluthces seem to go pretty fast on these conversion. :-(

Replacing an engine is "maintenance". You can not 'Really' recoup a loss on that one.
You could sell it as a non-running project ?

Best of luck on the sale. I'll keep an eye on the thread.
