Celica Autocrossing *56K Beware*, Fort Mill, SC 2007 Options

[Jaws4God]

Went to an Autocross today and saw 2 celicas I talked to one guy and he said he was planning to join 6gc

That 4gc could be GT-S, but it's not a GT-4. It could have the motor and a front mount, but they came stock with the hood scoop, and I see no scoop. Good job on the autoX. I think the Celica makes a great autoX car.

BTW: What happend to all the stuff you had wieghing the car down, Jaws? It's looking good.

You haven't heard of an ST165 GT4, have you?

I could have sworn that the 4th gen GT4s (st165) had a a2a top mount intercooler. I had to look it up. Toyota was really ahead of it's time back in the 80's.

No - you are all right. They started out without the hood scoop until they started popping motors under warranty due to heat. A friend of mine had one and Toyota gave him a new hood after some years and he wasn't even the original owner. He never had problems with the motor unlike me who popped [3] 3's in two years on my swapped 4th gen GTS. I on the other hand received no hood because my car started out its life as GTS. Mine was flat black, his was red both hatches. Should have seen us at the meets in like '97-'98. Everybody was like WTF are those?
BTW - I used to own him straight line but man on the corners? The Altrac was mean [even ST-165]. Damn I miss those cars.
