Yes it Is. The former owner tried for a year to sell it.
I'd let it go Quicker if the price was right.

> He needs cash to fix his 185.

We'll see. I do want to get the ST185 up and running,
I got some mods planned for it. Tough to do two projects simultaneously.

@ lagos
@'98 GT Hatchback
@ Oh so its that same silver one.

yup.

@ Didn't he like JUST buy it from the kid that built it with his dad?

Last year.

@ There has to be something wrong with that car to get passed around like that.

With any project there will be issues. I solved as many as I could and will
probably fix other issues as time and budget allow...
Overall it is in Great shape.

@ Anyone who would sell their st205 to fix their st185 is nuts.

It is all a preference. The ST185 was there before Rallying, won a lot of races.
Plus it was not banned from Rallying for a cheater restrictor.

@ How much is he asking for it?

I offered a fire sale that day. No one took me up on the offer.
If anyone Seriously wanted to make me an offer PM me and we'll chat.

# '95 GT Hatchback
# yea one of his struts are blown ..

That is true. Probably from before I bought it.
Former owner said it was "bouncy" I always assumed it
was the 18x8.5"" and 215/35 tires. Bigger sidewalled tires help a lot.
Anyone want to buy 18" rims and tires ?

# and it starts to shake around 120mph ..

Who ever said THAT ? Did you get a ride in it at 120 ?
I drove it down with my snow rims and tires. 205/50's
Needed spacers in the front to get them to fit the brake calipers.
There is some shimmy in the steering wheel, but that is the bent rims.
Did that on my Camry too.

The Rumor of a shake at 100+ was started by Neverstop
Years ago when he had to remove the rear set up due to his " shake" ?
Swaps if done right do not shake. I wonder if he needed to have his rims straightened ?

I offered several people a ride. Every one was too busy playing Foot ball...

$ 808celica
$'95 GT Hatchback
$ why would you even go 120mph???

It would be stupid to see "what it could do".

$ why not just chill and drive easy and let the heads turn

That is what driving it to meets is for.

$ nice turn out very nice.

It Was.
Worth flying over for the next meet ?

$ unfortunately only 4 6gcs are known to show up at the hawaii meets.

It could use another 6gc then ?

Many thanks to Manny for planning and working to get the meet together !
Great to see the women of 6GC too. Keeps it from being an all guy thing.

Regards;

Thats because he never had an AWD conversion. Anyone who knows whats involved in making these cars awd knows that its not possible to just remove the rear end and put the old one back on. Once your did it, there is pretty much no going back.

unfortunately, i still dont have the $ to mod me car. it's definitely an expensive hobby =D.
