My "new" toy. Here is the story. Since high school I have been wanting this car. First was the USDM spec however as time went on and I started getting more into these Japanese made vehicles... I got more into the JDM spec of things.

Anyways I wanted to import this vehicle so badly however at that time the GT4 was not yet 15 years of age, so I couldn't import it. While waiting there was a fight going on between importers and Transport Canada going on for the worse. The ruling that one cannot bring a vehicle over unless the vehicle was at least 25 years of age. Since I heard this, I felt that I should give up on my want to bring the GT4 over to Canada... So I bought my first 6th gen, a 1997 Celica GT 5SFE:




Had this vehicle for a while, then found out that the ruling for the 25 year importing fell out. So I imported this baby:




I was now the second owner of this GT4.. and I now obtained my dream car!!!

This is where my story begins...

Is that a hair dryer? xD Didn't know a simple hair dryer was strong enough to remove the plastic lens haha

It definitely was... And it kept the mastic warm and pliable!

Man i wish we could get these in the usa i want one soo bad
Glad you were finally able to get your dream car. Now if the rest of us could get one we'd all be happy like you are lol

If you have 12k-15k you can bring it to US i know a japanese guy who works bringing cars.from japan. He brings containers with full of jdm cars he will take care of the tittle and registration. He already brought couple skylines and s15 silvias to some people here in florida. he always arrives in different jdm cars to a car meet that i go. You need to pay hik cash. You pay him half of the money before he go and the other half when the car arrives. He can bring and register ANY jdm car. Very good contact. Pm me and ill give you his info if you got the $$$$$


How i wish i had that kind of money but i dont
If i ever find myself in a spot where i can do that i will definitely be getting ahold of you


guess its time to start saving up.

coming along very nicely only critique is the shift knob looks kinda too small for the shifter. maybe its just the shifter boot. idk but looking real good.


Yea Spy00005, I agree 100% and it is very small.. I thought it was going to be bigger however I was wrong... Darned E-bay. I already ordered a Momo King Chrome shift knob to replace it... Just feels weird... I went back to the stock for the time being.
