yep, then just after that it was the end of the first road when you turned out onto the wrong side.
Me: "Ummm Martin other side"
Martin: "What"
Me: "You need to be on the other side of the road"
Martin: "Ahh yes..." *swerve* "this is going to take a bit of getting used to!"

You soon got the hang of it though mate, so I'm certain that you'll soon be comfortable with the LHD again.

It looks fantastic anyway Martin, you must be really pleased! I'm very jelous that you have such a good place to spray the car. It looks perfectly colour matched with the old parts. I really want a respray now!

I think Delusionz has it right. The fuel gauge and the warning light work off two different circuits although the sensors are in the same fuel sender unit.
Looking at the diagram, i would guess that by disconnecting the plug at the fuel sender and grounding the yellow wire with red stripe that the gauge should jump to show a full tank. If the fault is a break in the wire between the sender and the gauge then this would not happen however.

I met a guy at the Japanese North West meet last night who is driving over with his Czech girlfriend to see here parents in Prague. They're setting off tomorrow i think, in his newly imported white 205. So keep a look out for another UK plate gt4 in Prague for a few days

Hmmm, i've never really considered the coupe/hatchback thing, i just picked one of the options from the list. Over here I think they're generally considered a coupe, like manphibian says, hatchback is normally something with a steeper rear hatch, where coupe's are lower sportier cars with two doors. The GT4 only came in one body style, so everyone can call it whatever they like, all that matters is I hold on for dear life when the turbo kicks in

If it's done say 100k Km when it gets converted, we just work out the km in miles (in that case, 62k miles) from the import certificate and then add the rest on from there. Some people take the calculated value in miles and then have the clocks altered to match. Mine is a UK ST205, so I don't have to bother with the pesky conversion or speed limiter

Oh, and the fuel gauge on Martin's is a bit quirky as you can see the low fuel light still works, but the needle appears to have resigned.
I drove this car on Friday night and I can definately vouch for how smooth it drives. The gearbox is silky smooth compared to mine. In fact, i want a new gearbox now after that drive!

Was great to meet you at last Martin, and so pleased that you made it back from your adventure safely. I was a bit worried about how you'd manage with the steering wheel on the wrong side Looking forward to seeing this new project take shape.... this forum has no popcorn smiley

Hi there
These standard injectors are low impedance as the 3sgte uses a resistor pack. When high impedance injectors are used in our engines, the reistor pack has to be bypassed to allow them to work correctly.
I would be willing to sell separately for the right offer.

Chris

BUMP

Offers ???

Full fuel rail with fuel pressure regulator and 540cc injectors taken from a 1995 JDM ST205 that I am parting.
$200 delivered to US.
Will get some pics up tomorrow for anyone wanting.

Hi guys
Just thought I'd share my new vid with you from the last round of the toyota sprint series.
Plenty of gen 6 action, mostly of the modified GT4 variety.
Look out for the head to head section showing Fensport's corolla up against another racer.
Anyways, hope you like.

As said, the GT4 bumper was busted up.
I was going to take it to the rubbish tip but Martin asked if I would cut the middle out and send it over.

It sounded like a great celica project, so I couldn't refuse




Martin, the finished bumper looks stunning, you must be grinning constantly!
Excellent work and dare I say, I think it does look better than the GT4 bumper!... although I don't think I can take a saw to my black one lol.
Absolutely love the colour too, can't wait to see it with the new rims fitted too!

I think I might be one of the very honoured minority who have had a sneak preview, and I can safely say that it's a great project and looks to be an awesome bit of work!
You guys are gonna love it! And no I won't reveal anything before you ask!
Hey Martin, driving that aygo will only make the celica feel even better to drive when you finally get back in it
Hope you get it back soon

Think Vincent might have one pair left in this thread http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=53535

Last month was the first of the UK toyota sprint series events.
Organised in part by UK celica tuners Fensport.
Here's a little vid I put together of some footage from the event. Features mainly GT4's, with a bit of the fensport Corolla and the DoLuck Supra!
Hope you enjoy it

Sounds good to me Vincent
Paypal payment on it's way.
Thanks
Chris

Hi Vincent
How much for the JDM tails shipped to the UK? If it's the same price, I'll take em
Cheers
Chris

Hi Guys, Thanks for the verbal kick up the backside Bigwaaagh

Right, Vents have gone to Malpeso, and best offer on the strut brace is your's Bigwaaagh (pending confirming postage cost)

I'll need to check postage costs to Holland for that, but Malpeso has been monopolising my time the last few opportunities Spent over 2 hours packing the vents and various other parts for him last night!!

I have had to find another postoffice to go to aswell because my local one has deemed me a pest for continually asking prices!! Isn't that part of their job? It's no wonder the UK post office is making massive loses eh!!

I digress, I will check postage asap

Cheers
Chris

Ps, if i've forgotten to answer any pms for parts enquiries, give me a nudge

The C-one stuff is on my black gt4 which is not being broken for parts.. she's my baby
The silver GT4 was a standard JDM model.
Do you mean the two little plastic splitters under the front bumper??
If so, I don't have them on mine, but there's a guy in Japan that does them at a reasonable price.

P&P post and packaging. I'm waiting for a confirmed quote on how much to ship to USA. Best quote I got so far was about 10mins ago. £28... or $56 in your money

silver GT4 breaking for parts.
Couple of items I can see that are appealing on your side of the puddle and shouldn't cost a remortgage to ship are the rear strut brace and the bonnet vents. Feel free to enquire about other bits, but like i say, shipping will probably be a bitch on anything over a couple of kilos! Payment by paypal only. Edit to say, parts are from the silver standard jdm gt4, NOT my black modified one

Rear strut Brace
Is in great condition and comes with padded cover which is also in great shape. Also little plastic end caps for the trim. One has a small crack (shown in photo) but it's not easy to see when fitted. The other end cap has one little tab missing off the back, but you can't see this when fitted.





Looking for minimum $130 +p&p but best offer around this amount or higher by midnight (GMT) on Tuesday 30th Oct gets it. Shipping looks like being about $60-$70 from UK.

Bonnet Vents
Full set of vents for the bonnet including top grill, venturi vents and Cam gear snorkel in Silver.
Excellent condition, with only one tiny very very minor mark on one of the venturi vents (shown in photo)




Looking for minimum $90 +p&p but best offer around this amount or higher by midnight (GMT) on Tuesday 30th Oct gets Them. Shipping looks like being about $45-$55 from UK.

Silver ST205 import For Sale.
Standard (apart from wheels which are 16's and look standard anyway!)
£3650!!!!!!!
87k miles
MOT May 2008!!!!
Tax Oct 07

Cam belt Just changed.
Fig 8's done around 15k ago
Never had boost increased
4 fairly recent tyres with loads of tread
Recent brake discs and pads
Newly refurbished charge cooler pump
Full change of locks
Autowatch cat 1 imobiliser with certificate.

This car is mechanically excellent. It runs like a dream, very smooth drive and power delivery. No turbo smoke, no rattles from engine. Suspension is excellent with no knocks and bangs and corners beautifully. Boost is excellent for a standard car and it still has the Cat in place.

This would be a great car for someone needing something standard or to start modifying.








As with most cars of this age, it is not immaculate and has a few stone chips and a couple of small supermarket door dints/scratches. Additionally to this, it has a dink above the rear quarter window (looks worse in the pic than it actually is) where some theiving scum tried to lever the window out with a screwdriver See the pic below.



Please feel free to ask any questions, or come have a look at it.

Fitted.



It looks fantastic. I can't compliment Vincent enough, on both the product and the delivery.
Many Thanks Vincent

Chris

Many thanks Vince. I wish all sellers were as good as you, even a little scanned image of the tracking document!!! Awesome! Will post pics as soon as it arrives and is fitted.
Chris

sounds like basic boost cut then, i'm not familiar with a tvsv monitor, but I can't imagine it will show anything if it is blocked off. make the FCD that you were on about and fit that to the ecu wiring. You can then trim the boost cut up to what you want. bear in mind though that with the standard ecu map and the standard 440cc injectors, you can't boost over 16PSI as you will begin to under fuel because the fuel map does not go any further and your injector duty cycle will be getting close to max.

Not sure of your exact setup, but it sounds (and looks on your profile) like you have the 2nd gen setup. Do you have the 2nd gen ecu and cylinder head?
If so, you will not be running a map sensor, only an air flow meter (which i could see in one of your pics).
In terms of the boost cut, the tvsv is not linked to a map sensor, but a turbo pressure sensor, and is only active in 3rd, 4th & 5th gear. It's basically a open or closed valve which when open bleeds off about 3psi from the actuator. If you're running a boost controller, you should really block the vsv off as strictly speaking you have 2 controllers fighting each other for control. You might find that this results in boost spikes which are causing the over boost and fule cut. Try blocking the vsv off first by blocking both the pipe on the actuator and the pipe running to the vsv. This will also allow full boost in all gears.
Failing that, you can install a boost cut defencer which can be made quite easily which will mask the reading from the turbo pressure sensor so that you can run higher boost. Don't run more than 14PSI though unless you have a metal head gasket, otherwise it will fail fairly quickly.

Details on the vsv and how to block it off, and also how to make a Fuel cut defencer are on this website along with loads of other really useful info. www.gtfours.co.uk

Hope that helps

Any news??????? Really really want a blue stitch one.....
