Hey fella - told you it wasn't that bad a job - looks like you did it well

Mine (or should I say my old car - now sold) with the same treatment taken at JAE

I knew you had done something with the liners but couldn't remember what

Given what a pain it is to get to the heater matrix I would be very surprised if they had checked it.

That accident damage certainly could have cracked the radiator.

He does indeed drive it, over bumps as well - hundreds of miles sometimes to shows bumps and all.

It doesn't handle that well but then 17s/18s don't handle as well as 15s and most people fit them.

Looks like the standard body to me with minimal alteration apart from the bumpers, skirts and bonnet - I think he took the wheel arch liners out of the front though.

Oh and VISDEBOY - your right - his speedo is a mile out so he uses the GPS one on his satnav

And before anyone asks - that car is on coilovers not on bags

My SS-II at work this morning

Sounds like your heater matrix is leaking if it's the passengers footwell. Not too bad a price on the part but it's a right faff to change

Personally I would go for the non WRC car - unless your going to wire up the extras then you may as well just got a normal GT4


Performance and handling is the same - it's not like the Gen 5 where you could run the CS/RC at higher boost more reliably.


Nothing wrong at all with the gearbox - known very few of them to go unless seriously abused. The only thing that does tend to happen is some shifter bushes split making your car have anywhere between 1 and 3 gears but they are easy enough to change

Oh, and I forgot the main difference - they come with the WRC raiser blocks as well - but they are cheap enough to buy

The WRC gets a bonnet spoiler, disconnected anti-lag and disconnected intercooler water spray - there may be more differences but that's the main ones I think

The grey which you are referring to Dan came in after 97 on JDM Celicas - it's also when they added the dark metallic green

Dark Grey Metallic 183
Dark Emerald Green 6M1

An Indicated 69,xxx but the first 56,xxx were in kilometers so that's really 47,xxx

It's VSIDEBOY's birthday today so he's not about but I do happen to know he is flat out getting his car finished in time for the Italy meet - I'm sure he would help after that though

Actually a cat can cause you to loose up to 10% of the power of a car. On some cars it is actually more environmentally sound not to have a cat and hence burn less fuel - unless you still press the loud pedal the same amount and just go faster of course

My cat actually spit it's guts out and the car still passes UK emissions.

As for what VinceNoir said about UK rules - 92 if the car is listed in the EG database. If it is a JDM import it has different emissions equipment to the UK car and although the majority of MOT stations will MOT it as a UK GT you are perfectly within your rights to ask them to MOT it as a JDM SS-II up to August 95 - the SS-II won't be listed and so they only have to do a pre cat test which any celica not passing is in serious trouble given that my 1969 beetle passes it

Mine and AndyRoo82's at Modified Mania last weekend

Posted elsewhere on the site but here's my RS*R






And a video of the idle

It is indeed - came form Japan second hand but looking unused

Got a video of it at idle now.

Not much - just a little filing of the mounting holes

It's just a JDM pre-facelift standard bumper with SS-III splitters

A couple from JAE last weekend

The UK 7Gc seats I have are much heavier than my JDM 6gc seats - must be all those airbags

He He, you forgot the special "weight saving broken splitters" mate

That avon rise is a killer

Not a terribly good one and it was mid install so no accelerator pedal fitted - the drivers footrest is a Razo one as the original pedals were.

Moody engine bay shot

He he, i get a new zorst fitted and the same day there are 2 threads asking for pics

This is my new (to me anyway) RS*R - a pleasant burble at idle and unobtrusive till ACIS kicks in. The on the 3SGE it sounds like a Formula 1 car

Here's a couple of pics of the RS*R
