My New GT4, Photo heavey Options

[Wintersun]

Hi all, I've not been on here in a long time. Spend most of my time over on CCUK. Having Sold my Black GT4 to buy a Supra Aerotop only to sell it 6 months later to buy another Celica GT4! Can't keep away from Celica's

Thought I would pop up some shots of it.

1996 facelift JDM ST205 GT4.

After getting the GT4 riser blocks fitted and painted
















A couple interior shots





Engine bay





Even had the original green Toyota accessory floor mats and origianl JDM satnav & TV stereo

beautiful

[SwissFerdi]

That's an awesome satnav unit, quite surprised it's OE. I did not know it was available for Celicas. Very nice GT-4. Pics if the Supra?

love the color... maybe i would choose that over a supra as well

[Wintersun]

oh go on then, here it is

1994 JDM 3.0 N/A auto Aerotop













I would have another Supra, but it would have to be either a twin turbo Aerotop or a late spec 1998 VVTi

very tidy GT4, no issues regarding fitting the GT-Four spoiler on a previous 3 post spoiler.

[delusionz]

Didn't you have an SS-III aswell?

I've never seen green mats like that before

Really tidy car, nice find.

hey the gt4 logo is too far back on the spoiler lol

[Wintersun]

I got a second hand GT4 spoiler with the tailgate from a breakers yard and got it sprayed up. Going from a 3 post spoiler to a 2 post isn't really possible without doing some modding and filling. Was easier to get a whole rear tail gate and re paint it.

I got the GT4 decals made up from a member on CCUK. It's not easy trying to line up the letters without marker points. Still, looks ok to me!

Yeah I had a white 1998 SSIII before the Supra.

i just drilled the hell out of my spoiler to get the 2 post on... need to fill that up till now all i got are white decals over the holes...

Great looking Four mate; but just 1 question...???

What makes it a "facelift"? I thought that only applied to non-GTFour models...???

[Rusty]

The rims (changed to the 6 spoke, rather than the 3spoke)
The rear lights (same time as the ST202 updated)
The rear spoiler (but I have a feeling they went back to the 2post, again in 97/98)
The projector headlights
& the colour (delusionz had the same on his old 96 SS-III, and that was only available +96?)


there might be other little things aswell

Why did I never think of that? Instead of drilling the boot, drill the spoiler. *facepalm*

Actually come to think of it, it may rip the whole hatch off since the front parts over time will lift up over time when pulling 2G corners like I do

That is correct. The 3post spoiler was part of the 1996 facelift in place of the 2 post low spoiler as part of the base model. The WRC raised 2 post spoiler came back in 1997/1998 as an upgrade option for the SS-III and GT-4.

You noticed my old colour 6M1, I actually didn't notice as I couldn't see the purple tinge to it, perhaps it needs to be a certain light and a high quality camera for the Pearl to come through.

Also the interior changed several times 94-95, 96-97 and 1998 interiors are different cloth patterns, colours, plastic/vinyl changed to black stitched leather, to later red stitch in 1998

And yes ofcourse the bumper didn't change, consider it 1994 Celica needed a nose job with the facelift, 1994 GT4 needed a facelift but already had a nose job from a more skilled surgeon (aka TTE).

Sweet - thanks for the 411 guys; learning something new every day!

Great purchase! & sexay Supra...

[SwissFerdi]

I guess the "facelift" part is misleading as that automatically makes me think bumper update, which I know there was none of...cool stuff Rusty. Wintersun, do you still have the SS-III? That thing was ungodly clean, I'd be forced to kick a puppy if you sold it.

[delusionz]

Haha yeah something makes me think he completely departed the Celica scene. I don't know about there in the UK, but here in NZ Aerotops are hard to come by, that Supra must be worth two Celica GT-Fours even though its NA and Automatic.

[Wintersun]

No kickin of puppes please!! I sold my white SSIII to a fellow CCUK member, who is taking good care of it. It funded my Supra purchase.

There a plenty of Supras to be had in the UK. JDM imports are alot cheaper than a UK Supra though.

A top condition UK spec can set you back around £15,000 ($24,000) still. click here

But to find a aerotop can be tricky. I loved my aerotop, turned heads every where I went. Even tho it was an N/A auto, the straight 6 block still sounded good on kick down

But the drive of the turbo 4wd Celica was calling me back

Slight update on the Hypno Toad....... Front and rear spats fitted plus calipers painted up.

[KAOS]

Hey whats the color code on your chassis? I have a few body panels from a GT-Four front end that are that shade of green and I'm just wondering... thanks!

[Wintersun]

Its 6M1 Dark green pearl metalic

[malpaso]

This is simply amazing piece... That sense for detail is absolutely stunning. It is first JDM model I see with speedo and rear foglight button from UK version! Also no stupid extra lamp attached under the rear bumper... Someone really spend a lot of time with work make it Looking with big L...

[enderswift]

I aspire to make my car like yours. Its funny that in other parts of the world its only a matter of going out to a used car lot

[Wintersun]

Cheers guys

I gave it a fairly large service the other week.

New:

disc's
pads
Shims
Pins
Fresh oil change
Oil filter
Spark plugs
Dizzy cap
Tires
Gear linkage bearings

Tightened up all the air pipes as the main turbo air inlet jubilee clip was a tad loose, now feels so much better and turbo spools up better, quicker and sounds better too

[UndaGrwnD]

very nice looking car! nice color also!

[FORGMANN]

I just got in a set of green mats like you have..um um interesting color...
Think i like you color almost more than Johnnys Storm Grey ST205

[Ted95]

car looks amazing. its just so cleann.
