After some long hard thinking. While i've been on suspension. I've realised that my car is no longer Viable for what i want it for without spending alot more cash. And i just can't justify it anymore. With me moving out of home, i no longer need a car to get around. And as much as the Celica has been alot of fun, and a great learning experience, it is time to move on.

So, without further wait. My Car, the 'Red Baron'

The entire build up can be followed at here ===> [Project] 1990 Toyota Celica GT-Four

Engine: The engine i hand picked and built by myself. The bottom end after much research is good for 500hp. And will do it every day all day, as long as you keep the revs down. The engine has just less then 4000km since rebuild.

It is no slouch as proven by my Quarter Mile time. And is an excellent base to work on. With Fueling mods, ECU and new turbo, you can have a 400awhp daily driver.

What you get when you buy the car.

All my spares as found here.

Another set of stock ST185 rims with dunlop tires. And anything i havn't mention.

Price: $14,990.

I realise that this is steep. But for the car, the engine, and all the spares I think it is resonable. I am losing money on this car, with over $10k spend thus far in just upgrading and repairing it. BUT i am open to Reasonable offers. If you have the money, you can buy the car. The car will be sold with RWC unless otherwise organised. I am in no hurry or rush to sell the car. If you are in brisbane, i will help you with upgrading the car if you are serious.

Contact: You can PM me here, or ring me on 0417 761 995. I will not tolerate tire kickers, test drivers or eBay bids. I'm a serious Celica enthusiast, and would much like to see the car sold to someone who will continue my original dream of 400awhp daily driver.

Regards, Richard

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
