Keep ur front Crash Bar!, Pops ran ova a deer, Crash Bar saved radiator. Options

[soulshadow]

OK so it wasn't on the Celi, but my Pops ran ova a deer the other day in the Sienna Van. Luckly the crash bar in the front saved the radiator and engine from total damage. The hood and headlight on the other hand wasn't too lucky.

For most of you guys that ditched ur bar for the looks of tat body kit. Hopefully you wont suffer too much damage or none in the near future.

I was offered £130 delivered from a breakers, but the deal I'm now doing is with a celica-club member for £80, + petrol money to meet up and collect. How much are you paying for these parts in the US?

There's this guy in England who imports GT4s, drives them round for a few weeks then breaks them up for parts. Perhaps there is a market for this over there?

My god that's a travesty. Why would he part out perfectly good working GT4's when there are so many people world wide that want one so bad?
There is always a market for GT4 parts here. I would say that you should check with Toyota World here in Houston and see if your guy can undercut the prices on popular parts by enough that even with shipping to NA it would still be cheaper and you could still make a profit. Might have yourself a good little business right here if you tried.

You have to remember though that for our beloved GT4`s are all getting old now.......occasionally another "not so good" GT4 has to give its life to enable our GT4`s to live on.....a worthy sacrifice IMO.

makes sense but I just wish they'd rob ST parts whenever poss. Do any of you get upset by all the GT4 parts we buy up over here? I've always wondered that.

Yes and No..."No" cause I feel bad for you guys not getting the GT4`s and can fully understand you wanting to get as much of a GT4 as possible, and "yes" because your using up GT4 parts on cars that will never be GT4`s whch is a bit of a waste really.
Concider this though...just imagine all the GT4`s we rob from Japan...not just parts but whole cars........thousands upon thousands of them. i guess Toyota made enough to go round.

Some of us have the engines and turbos too
Personally I like having the same power but considerably lighter. All in all I think the homemade GT2 is a great car in and of itself - you GT4 guys might be surprised at how well they perform.
IMO if you don't have the engine you should not have the badges - but any body work you do that uses OEM parts instead of aftermarket ugliness makes you tasteful in my book. Sorry - I just can't stand 90% of the non OEM body parts out there. Especially that rediculous frowny face rear bumper - w/e you call it.

Unfortunately I have never had the pleasure of seeing a GT2 perform...there are virtually non in the UK, but I expect with equall BHP the GT2 would be faster, but from a standing start a GT4 would have a considerable advantage until about 30mph when that advantage would be offset by the extra weight. But show both cars a set of twisty countryside roads then I think the GT2 wouldnt be able to keep up. I`d like to have a go in one to compare the difference, but unless one of you are kind enough to let me have a go in one of youe GT2`s next time I am in the States, then I probably will never experience one.
