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

hey,
i own the indiana GT4 .. i used to live up in northern indiana but now live in cincinnati area ..

i dont post a bunch .. car is still at shop in dubuque,ia getting fixed ..

i just turned 32 today and let me just say nothing would make me happier but to be driving my st205 tonight ..

i am super anal and consider the st205 a classic car and my body guy does not fix cars half ass so sourcing a undamaged st205 front end rad support has been a pain but i have one located in US .. i am repairing car to 100% the way it was before accident except swapping to any 98 spec parts like projectors , dash trim , etc...

car has been in US for year and a half..

i am sick of talking about legalizing topic but trust me it is so over hyped on net it is not funny .. getting car into US is much bigger issue ..
