More PICS :-)

Ok, so now that I know what it is, I can confirm the boost gauge is working fine (I'm such an idiot)

Thanks for your help

haha thats good to hear, nice cleaning btw.

licences plate..

coincidence?!

i think not

welcome but why cant there be more gt4 owners from down christchurch region im sure im the only 1 in this forum from chch

Hey look at it this way, you are Unique!

Nice Quidam
I repaint my bonnet but needs again
Your car looks very clean in the last photos Well done!

And what's sad is that I actually enjoy keeping my new baby clean and shiny -but not sure how long that will last

You are lucky that your color is not BLACK!!!!

Nice!

I always wanted a GT4 but never had one. Bought an ST for the gf so halfway there

Not kiddy friendly so I had to buy a family wagon....

But then again, I do like the comfort of the 5 Series

those plush teddy bear seats bring it down IMO

Hey there -Those are pure wool seat covers I put in to protect the seats. The drivers side was starting to show some signs of wear.
While they might not appeal to some peoples tastes, believe me they are very comfortable and make getting in/out a lot easier.

eventually I plan to redo the interior in leather

ps. the car did come with the orignal rear parcel tray, I've just taken it out and put it in storage (along with the original mags). It really isn't useful to me -I think the back storage space is more practical without it installed, and with the back seats down you get a lot of usable space!

Yeah I was going to say the same thing. Pure wool huh? If my memory serves me correctly, wool is the itchiest substance known to man correct? (lol)

It is unique though, definitely. It has some style to it that, although it took some getting used to, definitely adds something personal.

Don't suppose you've taken the pleasure of reaching 6000+ rpm already?

Or dropping anchors at over 80kph and halting on the spot.

That type of engine power and stopping power is only in a GT4, no other Celica has it.

But notice how it can also be just as dosile as any regular car when you're not wearing heavy boots?

lol well there is a new on-ramp onto the motorway that is absolutely ideal for planting boot. Not sure if I've hit 6000+ rpm, I've been too to busy keeping my eyes on the road and thinking "holy crap" I'm still getting to know this car -but it is the ideal place to go hard

And you are 100% spot on. GT4 = Dr Jeckal and Mr Hide, that's what I like so much about it, you get to choose, and it fits right in.

I liked this thread right up until the GT-4 superiority talk. I'm so jealous.

Wish you many happy miles with her man.

Take that filter box off your ride and put a cold air intake in, and you'll have the perfect car!

Seriously though, if you ever find yourself hating your GT-Four for no apparent reason, just.. ya know.. ship it on over here.

OK, duly noted and added to my "to do" list

In the very unlikely event I ever decide to sell this car, I'll give you first option! That is, assuming you don't mind a right-hand drive -would you even be allowed to have it in the U.S.?!?

Sheesh -now I feel bad. If it's any consolation, I think your ride looks pretty sweet..

I'm in the Christchurch region, you're right though, not many other st205s down here eh.


Nice GT-Four Quidam, looks good. I think I remember seeing this GT-Four on trademe and thinking it looked like a good buy, glad you found your way to this site. So you had a bit of a mission finding wheels to fit aswell? Me too lol.
