So I received a phone call this morning from WALKER, and it went a little something like this:

KAOS: "Hello...?"
WALKER: "Whats up? You at home right now?"
KAOS: "Yup just working on the Vee-Dub all day today..."
WALKER: "Cool; we'll be there shortly..."

About a half hour later, "WALKER" and "ZenAutoworks" (Dave & Sean) pull up to my house...
... I was ready with my camera... lol.


(Sorry for the Blair Witch effect, but if you listen carefully, you can hear me giggling like a little school girl... ok, you don't have to listen all that hard. biggrin.gif)

This car is a dream come true for me; I can only imagine how the new owner feels. smile.gif

Somebody correct me if Im wrong, but I believe this is the first WRC GT-FOUR in Canada and its owner, WALKER:


And David was nice enough to let me have my way with his car... smile.gif


No emblems were hurt in the having of my own way:

And now who of you out there can tell me what this is a picture of: biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif


The interior is mint; such a great find!




I didn't really have much time to take any more pictures; but I did get to go for a quick ride in it... and wow - is it ever weird riding in the passenger seat of a right hand drive vehicle... redface.gif



The battery died on me right away, but you can see the auto-climate control and the huge bulge of a hood that the GT-Four is... lol.

Enjoy!

... I'm totally set on buying one now... smile.gif

Thanks Dave & Sean; you totally made my day!!

For those of you that don't know, I ran into this when I had my first JDM and I was going crazy looking for a dial to turn up the brightness of the dash.

JDM Celicas (I've had 3 of them including my GT-Four) do not have anything installed in that place, it's a blank circle, they don't come with dash dimmers. The backlight on the dash only has 2 modes, on or off. Cuts_the_pilot's GT-Four WRC is an export model (Australian version) and has the same dash dimmer that comes in USDM Celicas, also notice his manual aircon in his other pics.

A common thing to be installed in that place is a switch to short the hand brake circuit on the DVD head unit when an LCD is installed as it only displays when the handbrake is up as a safety standard.

But since it is a turbo car, it's most likely to be something to do with boost.
