FS/FT: 1999 Celica "GT4" Price Drop, 3rd gen 3SGTE, AWD Converted Options

[Malek]

Started out as 1999 Toyota Celica GT. I imported a full front clip and rear end of a JDM Celica ST205 and did the conversion. Entire drivetrain was swapped with the ST205 donor. About 180k miles on the chassis, not even 3k miles after the swap.

A lot of work has been put into this car. Feel free to read through my build thread. Link in my Sig.

-1999 Toyota Celica GT w/ 3rd gen 3SGTE, E154F transmission and AWD
-GT4 Brakes and SS lines
-Clutchmasters FX300 Clutch
-3rd gen Berk PC'd Downpipe
-GT4 Front bumper, hood, and fenders
-Projectors
-Stainless Steel HKS Hi-Power Silent exhaust
-17x8 OZ Chrono HT wheels w/brand new tires
-15gal FuelSafe fuel cell
-7th gen Seats w/OEM switched seat heaters
-Triple A-pillar gauges (Innovate Wideband, Autometer Oil Pressure, Autometer Boost Gauge)
-2 post hatch

I reached out to Hanksville Hotrods who made and welded in the rear subframe connectors and also made the custom exhaust. They do some seriously great work with cages, exhaust, and other absurd porsche/bmw/classics/racecar projects. Check them out. (was not cheap)

The exterior is probably the worst part about this car. Quite a few dings on the passenger side. Paint is pretty rough but cleans up decent. Windshield needs replaced but always put it off since I was planning to take it out for new paint.

Clean and clear title. Won't pass CO emissions which is why I have it registered at my dads house in Indiana.

I had no intention of ever selling it but it has come time. I won't be able to take it with me to my next duty station. Would love to keep it in the 6gc family.

Feel free to call/text/pm 720-416-1098 Mostly looking for an older Tacoma as trade but am open to others
8300 obo.

I don't need 2 kidneys, right?

[cheela]

you need 3.

[Box]

That's only if you live in Chernobyl.

[Malek]

lol

A 3 time Pikes Peak open class champion sent me an email over the weekend about the Celi. I didn't think I'd attract that attention haha

[Malek]

Help me out here...

Just got offered a trade for a 2005 Dodge grand caravan...

[njccmd2002]

really a caravan?

[Malek]

Yeah, it's got a 178k miles on it. Owned by his aunt and uncle for 10 years...if you're interested haha

So just park it in storage somewhere until you get back? You can fit that in a $30 a month storage unit if you fold the mirrors and climb out the back hatch.

[block]

Have you tracked this car?

I just might have to if I keep getting those kinds of trade offers.

Never tracked.

mcpherson or super strut?

warranty on the frame. will it resist abuse?

[Malek]

mcpherson front, superstrut rear. I wanted to use mcpherson in the rear as well but the rear gt4 knuckle mounts are thicker than the gt's.

No warranty on frame. However, these guys follow the NHRA rulebook for their roll cages and can also build to NASA, SCCA or SCTA-BNI if you want. They do a lot of Porsche and BMW racecars but have also built other ridiculous tube bodies and double engine setups. Yes it will resist abuse. (I'd say better than a true GT4 whose mounts were spot welded in that I drilled out of the donor)

If I didn't have two cars in my two car garage I'd offer to store it for you.

Actually no, not at all. Its his car.

[Malek]

I got your PM Bitter, I appreciate the storage offer but my family has more than enough space to store it if I wanted to. That's the thing, though. I don't want to store it haha

It will be in the back of my mind for the entire time I'm gone..

[EL_Jive_Turkey]

Hey malek very nice job I really like. When you put the 3s in did you have timing done and all new belts put on? I live in cali and know it won't pass smog here lol but I really want this thing.
