6G Celicas Forums

Just my 2cents...but here it goes.

The ST205 is a great car, a high-water mark for Toyota of the mid-90's.......BUT the WRC cheating scandal caused Toyota to 'lose face', and thus sullied the reputation of the corporation and the model.
Toyota seemed much more proud of the ST185 as a result, nevermind the fact that it was not the pinnacle of GT4 Celicas.

That said, ST205's are hitting new highs on the desirability scale as they have passed the 25 year mark and are importable to the USA.
Prices for non-WRC models have passed 20K at auction in Japan, and WRC-spec '94's are passing 40K!
Add in import costs, plating, title, taxes, etc and a true WRC '94 in good nick can push 50K retail. So how bad do you want that Supra vs. a GT4?

Thanks for the replies! When I first posted this it seemed to disappear, so I didn't know if I'd posted to a closed thread or what.
I'll get looking at the bushings and cube first. I don't think it's a major thing like the clutch itself - seems to work fine - but the motor mount makes me go hmmm.
Much appreciated!

So...first post, total noob Q, but I just bought the car, so please cut me some slack.

I have just purchased an imported '95 JDM GT4, about 175Kkm on the clock, and shifting between gears feels really vague.
It may be that I just haven't driven it enough yet to get smooth and comfortable with the action, but do the bushings or bearings in the stick-base wear out?
Is it something that requires a lot of digging?

I'm a good and competent mech on motorcycles, but don't have much car-work experience outside normal upkeep.
Any info would be appreciated.
