Hi all, this is my first official post to 6gc.net. I've read here and there for research from this forum but it's great to get the opportunity to become part of it. I'm a 5th gen gt owner with a 3sgte swap, E153 tranny, and some other goodies. But I'm actually here because another frequenter of celicatech mentioned that I might want to mention what's going on in my town to you guys. I'm sure we're all fans of the ST205 which never made it here and I've been following the progress of a local company that is converting a 6th gen GT to a RHD, AWD (of course) GT4. The following is the link to the first thread I made about the subject on celicatech:

Yup, they're selling it. You'd better believe that I'm looking for financing  . Though I don't know what the final price tag will be, this guy wants the car to go to somebody that can appreciate it for what it is, not just another import car. If anything, I might be contending with the guy I'm talking with for ownership of it because he's thinking of selling his T-70 2jz lexus to buy this car. I just want to see it go to a Celica whore.

You know, I haven't talked to him in a few weeks so I'll hit him up and see if there's been any progress. I'll be sure to snap pics if so. As far as the color code, I don't know exactly what it is but it's taken from the new stock Lexus IS350...probably smoky granite mica...maybe obsidian. Might want to contact your local Toyota/Lexus dealer but I'll ask him if I remember. I'll keep you guys posted-
