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!

yarik83 - RHD alone would cause further investigation. a gt4 registered as a gt would trigger a cop to investigate illegal modifications, check for a mod cert, etc.

for example.. what the hell is that big black box under the boot? why does a 2.2L NA require such big brakes? Whats under the bonnet that requires such vents?

as for screwing insurance... the best that could happen is you'd get paid out for a car which is what? half or 1/3rd the value?

thats ridiculous.


and yeah, ignore what i said about the fuel octane, i thought Canada used RON like Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand... basically your 91 is equiv to what we call 95. Your 89 is equiv to what we call 91 and your 94 is equiv to what we call 98. And probably if you had something called 95 or 96 it would be equiv to what we call 100 octane or race fuel or sometimes mislabeled AVGAS.
