Hello,
I have heard that for some reason you guys in the States are not allowed the GT-Four in it's standard form, is this correct? I heard that a lot of engines get shipped out for you to put into "normal" celica's. Does anyone know the reason you aren't allowed them? is it down to emissions? Thanks Nathan -------------------- 1994 JDM ST205 WRC with 17" OZ Chrono's wearing 215/45/17 Eagle F1's. HKS Induction Kit, Blitz DV, Decat and full SS System, Blitz SBC-iD and Power Meter running at 1.12Bar = 17mpg and a lot of fun

I think im finally getting out of the tuner scene, some guy the other day while I was driving was looking at my car and was like WOW, WHAT IS THAT. IS THAT A MUSTANG!! and i was just like oh god, where did i ever go wrong :-( -------------------- To live, is to suffer

I think the money you would spend in geting a GT-4 upgraded, and then actually legalizing it would be enough to just buy a 3sgte and do some kinda AWD swap... I think dan had something going there, about switching all the tags and VINs and what not. Ive heard of people doing that for skylines, only it was a little different.
