So after selling my 98 GT-S sometime in July...I decided to seek out my dream car! Here's a little story of my adventure to see a GT-Four, up front and in person, for the very first time...

Dragged two buddies along for the journey. We planned for the 12:30pm sailing at the horseshoe bay terminal in BC, to get to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. Turns out the sailing was full and we waited 3 hours for the next sailing. After 1.5 hrs on the ferry we hauled a** 150km north of Nanaimo to Campbell River (keep in mind the last sailing home is 9pm). Finally arriving at the place we took a look at the car, took it for a spin and worked out the payment details.
The pro: engine is still running strong even with meerly 103,000kms
The cons: various surface rust here and there
The solution: leave the car there, get all the surface rust sanded out and get a full paintjob (at my cost)... then ship it to me

Now, I'm just waiting for it to arrive!....time for some teaser pics!

For the love of god - sell me that Recaro.



Haha its ripped in two places..i'm thinking of getting it reupholstered...but then there would be no "recaro" stitch

Recaro sells fabric wink.gif



hmm...interesting...i will look into that

Recaro confetti interior = great amounts of win. Pull the center cushion out and have it reupholstered with Recaro fabric, but do not have the confetti covered.



not too fond of the confetti pattern....but red seats like the recaro raptor on the other hand....that;s full of win in my books haha

C-ONE lip on rpmgarage for ONLY $250 shipped!!! Its cut in half but you can fiberglass it together.



ya i looked at that one....tempting....must...save...up...money hahaha


QUOTE (delusionz @ Sep 28, 2009 - 3:46 PM) *
DO NOT run 91 octane in a JDM 3S-GTE _EVER_.

For best results use something as close to Jap spec 100 octane as possible, in my country that would be BP Ultimate 98.

You can get away with running 91 as a last resort, but your knock sensor will trigger major ignition retardation, you may even damage your engine. Once I ran out of gas parked on a hill and I had to walk home and use the 91 out of my fuel container for the lawn mower, I was able to start the engine and limp the car to the next gas station.



well I guess I won't be running 91 octane haha...don't want to damage my engine....if saving in the short term means spending on engine repairs in the long term then 94 octane it is haha..thanks




oh and one more thing....
does anyone know which of these part numbers is for the right side clear JDM high beam headlamp?

As found in the stickies:
Clear High Beams - These high beams are available in some Celicas overseas from 1996-on and they have a crystal clear lense. The part numbers are below.
81130-20050
81170-20050 <-- I think it's this one...

Just to clearify...it's the driver side highbeam for JDM celicas...and the passenger side highbeam for USDM celicas...

Much appreciated!
