Toyota doesnt seem to do this with their cars as they all seem to have the same names over in Japan, just pronounced differently.



Err.

Toyota Altezza = Lexus IS200
Yaris = Vitz

but if someone completed a full swap- AWD and everything (including badging)


does that include the superstrut suspension, +fig 8 links then? lol

if that was done then course it would be a gt4 as thats wat they did with the cars in the first place anyway (btw it would have to have rev 3 engine)

gt2s are cool anyway. Why do you need awd in the us when all the roads are pretty much straight and 30 feet wide smile.gif

I say keep it a sleeper so noone knows. why do people advertise their stuff? it's just another quick way to get their car stolen. I especially like the people who put "rockford fosgate" stickers, etc... on their cars... when they aren't even sponsored to do so... that's just saying "rob me, puhleeeeze!"

No show, no tell. Let 'em figure it out smile.gif.

I agree - nothing like having some ricer come up on you only to get they're arse handed to them by something they didnt see coming.

even with it all done and completed perfect

it would still be BOOTLEG just how you burn a cd...say specs but its not the real thing...

as for the badging i thinking it would be ok to sport the gt4 just cuz most people dont know what they are and people already sport it by putting on the gt4 raisers...

Well granted it does say GtFour on the risers but making your car look cooler by using cooler looking parts thats ok its just styling - badging it is something different thast like proclaiming its osmething thats its not.

IMO Japanese names are the original names of cars and anything else they are called is just a distortion of the truth. Meaning RSX is Integra, TSX is Accord, Mirage was Lancer etc. Toyota doesnt seem to do this with their cars as they all seem to have the same names over in Japan, just pronounced differently.

If the car isnt a factory GT4 it'll never become one.
