Differences btwn the Celica GT4 WRC, and the Celica GT4 Options

[3WayStunna]

Well its come time, where im about to buy my first celica, and im curious about some things. Firstly i know im about too purchase a GT4. But the thing is, it has an intercooler spray bar, and some other weird stuff, that, after visiting GT4oc.com, i noticed isnt usually on the gt4's...so my quick question is....does anybody know the differences btwn the WRC model GT4 and the "regular" GT4 models? Lol, to be honest, im kinda excited at being able to get this car, and i want to be sure at what im buying irregardless...so is there anybody that can help me out?

Btw, pics WILL be added as soon as i get my camera to work right ^_^

EDIT::: forgot, the dealership has a website......link to the car itself below..

ohh and wrc/group a are more rare too, but in general all GT-Fours are rare and all special.

having owned 2 other gtfours. as well as the 205 ive got now i think ill anwser this one.

find out when the clutch (edit it says the clutch is new) and fig 8/leading and trailing control arms were last replaced. The suspension wears out at around the 80-100 000km mark in the 205's (thats the price you pay for more precise control and better turn in). Ohh and when the timing belt was last changed.

clutch, well its a cock of a job as you need to remove the engine/gearbox from the car to get it out.

Other then that its just normal car stuff, blowing smoke, looking under the car for signs of overspray, any clunks, rattles that shouldnt be there, oil leaks (especially around the front and rear main seals and rocker cover gaskets. if it pulls one way or the other under heavy braking, see if the kms match the general condition of the interior, the seats and carpet look in reasonable condition so im assuming its a low enough ammount. Rust shouldnt be an issue on a car such as this, they are generally pretty rust free.

pick on all the small things you can to bring the costs down, make a point of any dents, faults, knocks, rattles etc etc.

check the colour/condition of coolant and oil, in general all toyotas should run their red long life coolant, oil should be well like oil really, a bit black is ok as turbo cars dump excess carbon into the oil just through normal combustion anyway.

hhmm thats about all i can think of, ill add more if i remember anything.
