Ok, so now that I know what it is, I can confirm the boost gauge is working fine (I'm such an idiot)
Thanks for your help |

I love your mx5, it looks amazing. Your Celica seems quite supra-esque because of the large trd spoiler, which looks amazing by the way. I love how you have Quidam as your license plate . You have a great set-up. http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=70817 there's my setup, and yes, I can see the jealousy on your face . lol, I'm overcome with the green-eyed monster. ps. I'm a big fan of Cirque du Soleil, Quidam was the first show of theirs I ever saw. When I'm not obsessing over my cars I do a lot of Yoga: More PICS :-) licences plate.. coincidence?! i think not -------------------- A work in (extremely slow) progress

Nice!
I always wanted a GT4 but never had one. Bought an ST for the gf so halfway there Not kiddy friendly so I had to buy a family wagon.... But then again, I do like the comfort of the 5 Series -------------------- |

those plush teddy bear seats bring it down IMO -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

those plush teddy bear seats bring it down IMO Hey there -Those are pure wool seat covers I put in to protect the seats. The drivers side was starting to show some signs of wear. While they might not appeal to some peoples tastes, believe me they are very comfortable and make getting in/out a lot easier. eventually I plan to redo the interior in leather ps. the car did come with the orignal rear parcel tray, I've just taken it out and put it in storage (along with the original mags). It really isn't useful to me -I think the back storage space is more practical without it installed, and with the back seats down you get a lot of usable space!

Yeah I was going to say the same thing. Pure wool huh? If my memory serves me correctly, wool is the itchiest substance known to man correct? (lol) It is unique though, definitely. It has some style to it that, although it took some getting used to, definitely adds something personal. -------------------- Brand new 6gc owner! (sort of 2011)

Don't suppose you've taken the pleasure of reaching 6000+ rpm already?
Or dropping anchors at over 80kph and halting on the spot. That type of engine power and stopping power is only in a GT4, no other Celica has it. But notice how it can also be just as dosile as any regular car when you're not wearing heavy boots? -------------------- Mike W

But notice how it can also be just as dosile as any regular car when you're not wearing heavy boots? lol well there is a new on-ramp onto the motorway that is absolutely ideal for planting boot. Not sure if I've hit 6000+ rpm, I've been too to busy keeping my eyes on the road and thinking "holy crap" I'm still getting to know this car -but it is the ideal place to go hard And you are 100% spot on. GT4 = Dr Jeckal and Mr Hide, that's what I like so much about it, you get to choose, and it fits right in. |

I liked this thread right up until the GT-4 superiority talk. I'm so jealous.

Take that filter box off your ride and put a cold air intake in, and you'll have the perfect car!
Seriously though, if you ever find yourself hating your GT-Four for no apparent reason, just.. ya know.. ship it on over here. -------------------- |

OK, duly noted and added to my "to do" list In the very unlikely event I ever decide to sell this car, I'll give you first option! That is, assuming you don't mind a right-hand drive -would you even be allowed to have it in the U.S.?!? |
