Mike's ST205 GT4 build thread, update: tuned to 200kw Options

[Rusty]

got gt4 back yet?

[delusionz]

F/R superstrut lower arm and both front top strut mounts replaced. Handles better but still knocking sound...

[Rusty]

check the buts, they might need tightning up maybe the cv's or wheel bearings are gone?

[delusionz]

Been a while since I've posted pictures with the Tom's lip, so here's an update.

[Rusty]

getting there . toms lip looks tidy, rear lip or splitters next to complete the look? any chance when you take it in to get the spoiler painted, reckon they could smooth/hide the gap in the front.

hope you got all the suspension all sorted out btw





ps ive got a spare trd gear knob now, we ended up getting a quickshift set for my brothers ep82

[delusionz]

Hmm I'm liking the Momo knob I got on at the moment, but whats a quick shifter set you back?


I see what you were talking about ages ago when you were putting your bodykit on about front heavy lol, SS-III splitters would be mint, I'd even try it out if I had fronts too, Tom's really only suits facelift st202, But somehow better than nothing on the gt4 front, hate the eurou.

[Rusty]

depending on who you go through, $380+ theres a trdshop on tm, maybe check if he has any?

haha yeah. I think the toms lip would flow better than the s3 spiltters, but would be worth a try to see the look

[malpaso]

That is looking soooo good. TOM'S lip and GT-four bumper together are two amazing things in one . And with small bumper modification it may look superb!

Looks very nice. Toms lip and gt4 bumper are a good combo.

Finally started on my Audio system with some speakers for the rear



The car has been under my ownership for over 25,000kms now so I decided it was time to do the plugs.

I got BKR6EP-8 NGK Laser Platinum, out came some PK20R8 Denso Platinum plugs, Discoloured Greyish/White and black around the ring. These are factory spec plugs, and wouldn't surprise me if this was the 1st plug change ever for this car.

[Rusty]

wow you've done 25,000kms already? yeah wouldn't be surprised if they where the orginal ones (pretty sure mine where aswell) idle a bit better?



Have you got ahold of the gt-four stickers for your spoiler yet, any idea when its going to be painted?

[delusionz]

Yeah, Similar Denso PK20's came out of the SS-III aswell. Denso Platinum is the factory plug for 3S-GE & 3S-GTE.

Still haven't gotten around to the spoiler,

My mechanic wants me to shut my car up (Too noisy) before I take it back to him to to inspect my suspension and wheel bearings and stuff again.

I've put my factory air box & recirc BOV back in, and I will take the spoiler off when I take it to the mechanic as it rattles due to the lack of rubber gasket.

At this stage I'm contemplating getting it painted.

I'm wondering why I haven't seen a single White 94-95 pre-face Celica in the country? It would be easier getting the hatch and spoiler off that..

[delusionz]

Oh yeah, When I put the factory airbox back in a whole lot of turbo lag went away. Then when I changed the spark plugs my boost comes on snappier. Engine starts a couple turns sooner aswell.


All the fun sounds are gone though (No spool sound, No blow off sound) Sounds like a quiet NA... Sounds like a stupid Prius actually.

[delusionz]

So it was time for new front brake pads...

The front rotor discs had to be machined, the problem is, there was no disc left to machine!!!!!!!!!

So with the purchase of Toyota genuine brake pads comes another purchase!!!

Slotted rotors!! Woohoo!!!







Also notice how the hubs have changed too, no longer rusted crap!!!
