Your best bet would be to get a regular gt, and put all new stuff on it. Or just completely restor it. I don't know if there's anyway to get Toyota to do that. I bet there's someone out there with a celica who's had it garage kept and never driven it. If you really want to do this, I'm sure you could find a way.

If you're pushing the boat out. Stroke the GTE to 2200cc or so. Add a *huge* turbocharger for top end HP. Run a supercharger for low/mid range shove. Strip the thing out and body it with carbon fibre. 600bhp and 450lb/ft should make a 1150 kg 4wd car seriously, seriously quick. It'll handle too..... -------------------- JDM ST205

A) Toyota will NEVER do such a thing, and B) Why the hell would we have any clue, as to how much it would cost or what it would take? I cant comprehend what kinda answer you were looking to get. The cars been outta production for 6 years. -------------------- |

If you had a mint condition 6gc, it would be worth a ton someday. Just the same as mint condition 70's models are now. Given that you won't get that much money for them, they are still worth something. This is a collector question. If he wants to do this, it isn't stupid. I admire the fact that he likes the car so much that he wants to do something like this. He may have been going about it the wrong way a little, but I think that was mostly just peoples responses. On a side not, I had a collector come and look at my car once. So there are actual Celica collectors. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy

It'd be a whole lot easier to import a gt4. And if it's going to just sit in a garage (which is a waste of a car), who cares what the mileage is, or the fact u cant legally take it on public roads
