Hi! I recently replaced my '85 Celica GT with a '94 GT-Four. My oh my, what an upgrade. I've gotta say, I get a few strange looks... I guess most guys just don't expect to see a girl driving a RHD car?
Enough about me, here's the car!     And, for giggles, a family photo. This is my boyfriend's '84 mkii Supra - I've got one too, but it sure isn't as nice and shiny as this one! Mine's sitting in a garage, surrounded by parts, with the motor beside it. Eventually it'll look a lot like his. In the meantime, he's registering his car envy by constantly reminding me that his car is much, much faster than mine. It's far from stock, as you would guess. My car was dirty because it was gross out here.

If you saw a blue GT-Four in Canada, then it was probably me. I don't think that many were even made in this colour, forget that only one was likely imported.

The paint on the bumper is very slightly faded, but the hood is a perfect match. It will be getting a re-spray in a few years. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-Four, sea spray pearl - Summer DD and cruiser.

Wow, thanks! However, I'm surprised that no one has asked what would make an old mkii Supra so much faster than an already quick GT-Four. lol
I wasn't partial to the colour when I first saw it - these cars look great in red or black - but it's certainly growing on me. It'll stay that way when I re-paint it in a few years. And yes. Stock. I'm lucky to have found an unmolested car! -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-Four, sea spray pearl - Summer DD and cruiser.

Nope, this one was imported a year ago from Japan.
... that is not an '85 GT. That is a mkii Supra. Which has been fully restored with a 7mgte swapped in. The car has ALL the goodies... R154 transmission, trutrac rear end, big sticky tires... really big turbo... My mkii is going to be different, but still awesome.

Your boyfriend is just envious. His car is old and ugly, lol. Only good looking Supras are MKIII and MKIV.
 I love your car. It's amazing that it's bone stock. Nice catch.

Yeah... really nice kid, unfortunate taste in deoderant. I got a wicked deal on the car.
A word of advice for you guys regarding Axe: just don't. It's okay in tiny doses, preferably in stick form... but those commercials are not an accurate representation of reality. A great deal of automotive deoderizer, half a bottle of heavy duty Febreeze, and some of that Febreeze "Fresh spring" scented deoderizer has mostly neutralized the stench - however, it lingers yet. That stuff is tough to get rid of! -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-Four, sea spray pearl - Summer DD and cruiser.
