Basically,

What would it cost or take to get Toyota to REMANUFACTURE a GT or a GT-4? Just curious? I am very interested in getting one, and just storeing it, and not driving a mile on it. Make it like a relic! hahaha

Just a thought! biggrin.gif

Hahaha dude that would be sick 2jzgte engines maybe even bigger who knows. If every celica and supra owner in the world pitched in $10 which i am guessing its about 10 million people then that would be enough to buy Toyota, but seriously what would it cost? Oh and by the way we could roll Scion off the biggest cliff in Japan!!!

Love you G_Dog!

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.

That would be one seriously unhandling car.

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.....

I saw a guy, must of been in his 50's driving a perfect yellow hatch, this car was so clean it had to have been garage kept. no sign of wear or scratches anywhere on the car.

Because questions like these deserve a slap. 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.

Dude, seriously, he's just asking it as something to talk about. It's interesting. It's not a stupid topic. 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.

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
