Jim,s Do-luck RB 205 gt4, build project Options

[jim7564]

Hi there all Celica fans,came across this site a few years ago while looking at RB kits fitted to celicas.loved that blue one from the far east but then it was kinda spoilt the the stupid front bumper etc,but I love wide cars (back in the 80s when it was all about wide bodykits etc)
see a few familuar faces on here (Nial,Fuppy) so I thought its well worth joining and seems a popular site,
anyways to my celica bought it 6 years ago in a sorry state (£1750 + 250 for the gt4 high wing) supposedly immaculate LOL

So this is what it was like when it came off the transporter,covered in dirt inside and out,could no see out of windscreen,wipers not working washers not working,numberplate missing,flat battery,the list went on

a good clean up and a lot of polishing it starts to look kinda normal.plus the usual mods projectors/kouki rear lights
without going into too much detail,like Isaid I love wide cars so once it was running ok after all the oil leaks water leaks etc were sorted it was time for some wide arches to go on

euro front splitter and a undertray fitted as well as sideskirts,BC coilovers.leather T-sport seats from a gen 7.

however the car was so low it was rubbing the splitter on bumps etc so more modifications was needed.tried the C-one front bumper but that was a no no,just did not look or suit the car.
so I made my own
supra mk4 Do-luck front bumper

just shows what a big car the supra is
bottom half cut off the gt4 bumper and top cut away from the supra bumper

think it was 5 or 9 inches cut out the middle of the supra then fibreglassed over to bond it together



taking shape

head skimmed valves reground new seals etc,FMIC stainless exh manifold (hopefully an external wastegate welded into this) header tank upgraded with a better route for pipework.Hybrid CT26 turbo,Greddy oled boost controller 1.2bar,3 inch stainless system.Coolingmist water/meth injection,
plan us to forge the engine in the future (400/500hp) and run a Link G4 ECU but it all depends on funds as these are not cheap to do,next thing is a big brake kit for the front 356mm with 8 pot calipers either D2/Ksport or similar,



new hoses fitted at the same time,water pump timing belt etc
6 years of ownership and been on the road for 3 of them,be 2 years come xmas fixing/modifying and done 1/4 mile up the road and back
