Thanks for all your help with the spoiler.Picking it up next week to have it sprayed and fitted.I will take some pics of my GT4 and try to get them on this webb site.
My next task is to get some of those better looking front head lights for the car.
Again does any body have the contact details for the firm that makes them.
Fietsbel used them on that good looking car. Is anyone up to speed on TEIN suspension that you can do on a GT4. It is listed in the book ,but would love to hear from someone who has tried it.My car is a 1997 GT4 ST 205 uk spec, black, cream leather,induction kit ,short shift, stainless blue flame exhaust ,5 point racing harness, apex racing pads,group A spoiler,ect. I use it for work and track days.
I am going to do the car up but , need a lot of help.I would like to improve the calipers,suspension,HP,roll cage and rims.If any one in this forum has some information ,i await to hear from you. Howard

Sounds like a good one.

Tein do make springs, as do HKS. They're a big drop though (35mm+).

I went TRD with a 25mm drop and I'm happy.

Calipers? You want *more* than 315mm vented discs mated to 4 pot brakes?
I've driven hard on the track, and had no real issues with the brakes.

Suspension? Fig-8s and suspension arms might want replacing. For track use, fit a whiteline rear ARB and change all the bushes.

HP? Engine is good for 300bhp stock. Any more and you'll want a rebuild with forged pistons. Don't fit a FCD.

Rollcage - expensive

Rims - 18's slot on no problems. Beware that many designs will *not* clear the huge front calipers.

JDM ST205

Blitz Spec NUR Exhaust, somewhere over $1000
Needing another one 18000 miles later, bloody annoying.
