New to the forums. The name's Dylan. Just picked up my SX-R Celica a few weeks ago and loving every minute of it. Original plans were for a Supra SZ-R but decided to save the money for the future and pick up a TT one day.
Just FYI, I live in Melbourne, Australia, so if there's anyone else on here around the area, give me a shout!  Got a few future plans for this baby. It's in need for the tyres to be replaced, so I'm outfitting 17" X 8" rims in the front and slightly wider in the back (even though there's not much need for it). The car currently has 185,000k's on it so my family friend who converts new age Mustang's to right hand drive has sourced me a GT4 engine + suspension + brakes + transmission so that will be undertaken at some point next year. Also planning on throwing on a beautiful TRD rear wing Anyway, just wanted to say hi to the community and introduce myself! This post has been edited by szr500: Dec 20, 2009 - 8:55 PM |

once i work out how to post pics....GT-4 parts cost me nothing. I'm just paying for labor. The GT-4 engine has about 66,000k's on it. |

Really, your not paying a cent for Gt4 engine, brakes, transmission & suspension!!!
How?!??! To post pics you gotta use a photobucket account or something similar, then use the img code, just copy and paste it. |

I'd of course say go for a genuine ST205...but since you're getting everything for free and I assume have a means to do the conversion, I say go for it and be unique.
As far as picture hosting goes, you can host without an account at imageshack.com, or sign up at photobucket. I recommend the latter. Welcome man!

thanks guys! yeah i feel pretty damn lucky with all the GT4 stuff. But we've paid him enough in the past as he converted out GT500 SuperSnake to right hand drive a year ago haha. Hopefully the car becomes a beast by the end of it. Not to sure if I really want the suspension and brakes though.. thinking I might upgrade to something aftermarket.
The only disappointment I have with this car is the fact that it's FWD. Would have much prefered RWD or AWD but considering I only paid $7500 AUS for it, I think I got a bargain. So glad I finally found a forum dedicated for the st204r celica

yeah thats a pretty good price, i pain $9200 a year ago and the window tint was bad and it had some sun damage, so i would say you got a great deal
Very clean car, looks nice. Oh and your not limited to FWD, with the GT-4 Transmission you can change it to AWD, but you need the rear cradle and other stuff |
