How much or what would it take to get Toyota to..., Remanufacture a 6th Gen? Options

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

Basically,

What would it cost or take to get Toyota to REMANUFACTURE a GT or a GT-4? Just curious? I am very interested in getting one, and just storeing it, and not driving a mile on it. Make it like a relic! hahaha

Just a thought!

well... you could save up enough money and buy the company. then they would have to make whatever car you want.

[ghostdog]

I bet if we all chipped in we could buy toyota and make them import gt4's with 2jzgte engines to the US

I'm just playin djmc, you know we love you

[LewFX]

i just wish they didnt stop making them all together, screw scion, viva la celica!!!!!!!

[StreetRacing10PS...]

supra engine in a GT-4... that would be one sick ass car

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

Hahaha dude that would be sick 2jzgte engines maybe even bigger who knows. If every celica and supra owner in the world pitched in $10 which i am guessing its about 10 million people then that would be enough to buy Toyota, but seriously what would it cost? Oh and by the way we could roll Scion off the biggest cliff in Japan!!!

Love you G_Dog!

i already sent the e-mail guys....

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

Your best bet would be to get a regular gt, and put all new stuff on it. Or just completely restor it. I don't know if there's anyway to get Toyota to do that. I bet there's someone out there with a celica who's had it garage kept and never driven it. If you really want to do this, I'm sure you could find a way.

That would be one seriously unhandling car.

If you're pushing the boat out.

Stroke the GTE to 2200cc or so. Add a *huge* turbocharger for top end HP. Run a supercharger for low/mid range shove.

Strip the thing out and body it with carbon fibre.

600bhp and 450lb/ft should make a 1150 kg 4wd car seriously, seriously quick. It'll handle too.....

[Supersprynt]

I just bought Toyota on ebay.
Ok I cant hold it in, this is the stupid fukin question of the year.

I saw a guy, must of been in his 50's driving a perfect yellow hatch, this car was so clean it had to have been garage kept. no sign of wear or scratches anywhere on the car.

i just got a reply back. they said yes. only if u give them ur firstborn though.

Because questions like these deserve a slap. A) Toyota will NEVER do such a thing, and B) Why the hell would we have any clue, as to how much it would cost or what it would take?

I cant comprehend what kinda answer you were looking to get. The cars been outta production for 6 years.

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

Yeah but, it would be nice! Oh well...i guess every great thing must come to an end at some point!

[CelicaGoddess]

Thats exactly what i told the guys at the car show!!! I hate scion!

Dude, seriously, he's just asking it as something to talk about. It's interesting. It's not a stupid topic. If you had a mint condition 6gc, it would be worth a ton someday. Just the same as mint condition 70's models are now. Given that you won't get that much money for them, they are still worth something. This is a collector question. If he wants to do this, it isn't stupid. I admire the fact that he likes the car so much that he wants to do something like this. He may have been going about it the wrong way a little, but I think that was mostly just peoples responses.

On a side not, I had a collector come and look at my car once. So there are actual Celica collectors.

[SlowCelica94]

It'd be a whole lot easier to import a gt4. And if it's going to just sit in a garage (which is a waste of a car), who cares what the mileage is, or the fact u cant legally take it on public roads

[Ralph96gt]

i know there is a toyota museam somewhere out here in so cal. and they have a mint condition version of every car that they produced....my bro knows where its at i just dont remember where...

Dude, seriously...its a fugguin stupid question.

First off, as a collector, you dont want to collect a remake, a replica. You'd want an original, within the manufactured years, with original miles on it. Its a Toyota ST205, not a Ferrari thats hand-crafted.

Secondly, Toyota, the biggest selling car manufacturer on the planet, isnt going to give you the time of day unless you have a couple million to spend on wasting their time.

If you want an ST205, either import one into the US, or move to a country that has them. If you want to have an ST205 and not drive it, which personally I couldnt do. Then rebuild the entire engine, voila, no miles. But asking www.6gc.net what it would take and how much it would cost is just ludicrous, and I call it such.

[jgreening]

somebody lock this silly thread

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

Well...Maybe ill just buy a ferrari, and collect that...A?

[right][snapback]277706[/snapback][/right]

It would take far more than a couple million dollars. To remanufacture a 6gen they would have to completely retool the line and that would cost a whole lot of money.

And if you could buy toyota for $5 billion, that is a steal try at least 50 times that.

[Supersprynt]

Yeah I dont think they'd retool the entire line for one car, they'd probably do alot of it by hand, kinda like a concept car, but that costs more and takes longer than a machine, so the price would evne increase.

[Consynx]

there isn't a pre-set setting that is logged into their computers or something for the older models?

just curious...if not they need updated technology(even more updated)

my question is WHY a 6th gen if your a millionaire...billionaire

get something fabricated
i'd just get a Tommy Kaira.

[Pali_playa]

buy every replacement part for a 6gc, and put it together yourself

[latinomasfino]

yessssss YOOOOOO i seeen the same one holy crap sooooooo beautiful i was like holy crap and yo his tail lights were like soo bright i think they were the JDM but wow it was soo sexy

[boosted_K2]

you really need to tour an assembly faucility, there is no way in freaking hell any car company would ever "remanufacture" or "retool" for a car for any circumstance, this must be the most ignorant question ive ever read reguarding the manufacturing of an automobile.

[Supersprynt]

Thats what I said but I was called "mean."

[Sev408]

honestly why even bother replying to his question, seriously look who posted it, i could already tell it was a lame question just like the celica he posted as a project car.

[orvillescelica]

In order for toyota to rebuild a 6th gen, you would need to buy thier passneger car company: everything including factories, R&D centers, business centers, accounting departments, everything for a very conservative estimate of 100 billion dollars. Most likely more.

It would be much more cost effective to build your own small car plant, hire skilled mechanics, buy the plans to the 6th gen celica and the right to build it from toyota, get all needed raw material and then start hand building them.

But if you are going to start hand building cars, why make the 6th gen and then sell them for exotic car prices, which is what must happen if you are hand building each one. Might as well desing your own car and compete with Ferrari, lamborgini, saleen, etc..

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

WOW! You have blown my fragile little mind!

[operative]

Look guys, I think almost every OEM part is available from toyota dealer. Why dont you billionaires buy each and every part and put it together youselves. Its like a big lego project.
