so nomore 225 on the wheels? what happen to your intercooler?

I'd be careful if you think your wheel bearing is playing up, might be doing damage to your brakes (happened to my brothers EP82)

when you finally get round to do your radiator use toyota longlife coolant I highly recommend that stuff.

[delusionz]

There are no 225 Potenzas in the country at the moment so I got the 215's, to be honest they dont look as good but they seem to hold the road better in the corners.

As for the wheel bearing play, I've had it checked, it's very minimal, but it was enough for to fail a warrant.

The 2000 Twin Entry Turbo sticker was worn out and theres heaps of chips in the paint on the intercooler so I'm half way thru changing it to a brushed aluminum look. I'm going to give it a very light coat of aluminum colour spray paint and put on a TTE sticker or something.

I always use the toyota red stuff in the radiator and charge cooler, castrol brake fluid & castrol magnatec oil, just got a genuine toyota oil filter, I don't use supercheap for the gt4

[delusionz]

a light coat of rattle can aluminum. look like 1998?

I like that aluminum look. Wish there was a faux-aluminum set for 6GC's.

[Rusty]

hmm came out pretty good. just as long as it doesn't chip right? You know now your going to have to do the rest of it

yea the IC would look pretty tidy all polished up.

L/Rear wheel bearing done! No more play. My odometer went up 40kms while in the shop... someone must have enjoyed my GT4

yeah thats ridiculous, reminds me my dads friend sent his lancia delta integrale to get some welding done and when he got it back he noticed the car was overheating cause some person took it out and didn't put the extra fans on and the brakes were smoking! and just obvious that they took it out and thrashed it.

[SwissFerdi]

Dude, I remember ripping Tahiti up with that car in Gran Turismo 3...that car is a beast.

[delusionz]

[Rusty]

40km's thats along distance to check a wheel bearing, I wonder if they brought it down my ways since I saw this white GT4 locally though needed lots of TLC outside, sounded nice though.

those came out tidy, whats next?

[whatthe]

Pics of the console trim back on?
