Back In The Car Scene... Soon....

[Slowpoke]

hey everyone,

I've taken almost a year off from performance cars and since im financially more secure now, i've decided to get back into it but sorry, i didnt buy a skyline somehow if i wanna buy a skyline again it has to be a GTR.. nothing else.. so thats over my budget

Anyways.. the new ride's a 1990 ST185 Celica GT4 (needs a few grand to get it ready) but most of the major mods have been done.. so.. ill keep you guys informed

Cheers

Bernard

nice buy man, should be a good car !

umm.. the t3 turbo thats on the engine now is almost gone.. so im either gonna get back another new t3 or gonna get a gt30. Then ill go and get the motec tuned and also probably rebuild the gearbox.

Then ill be ready for cruises

hehe possibly.. but its not gonna be easy when the car is ready

Hoping to get at least mid 12's once the car is fully completed.

Mate I was dealing chop to supposedly "modified" GT4's when I still had my RB20 If we're talking about when things are "ready".. wait till I get my GT35R on!

haha.. well.. no matter what.. its still a gt4.. so im not gonna spend THAT much money on it to fix it up.. rather get a gtr and put in just a few grand and FLYYYYYYY

what are the plans to the car ay

[Slowpoke]

what are the plans to the car ay

Umm.. currently its got forged internals, motec, t3 turbo(requires to be changed as wearing out) and all the standard mods such as turbo back zorst and pods etc.

Currently trying to save up some cash first to:

1. Change to a new t3 turbo or get a gt30 turbo

2. Tune the MOTEC

3. Rebuild the gearbox

Im hoping to get at least 250++awhp and try to make it to mid 12's in the 1/4 mile

Nice pick up, the GT4's are a good package and can deliver good time. The gearboxs are tough as nails so you shouldn't need to rebuild it unless it has a fair few kms and its got worn syncos. Theres plenty of boys overseas pumping well over 400awhp on the stock box with no dramas.

A gt30 would be a tad laggy on the 3SGTE, i would be more inclined to go a disco potatoe, which will quite easily get you you 280awho and will be nice and responsive. Even a stock ct20b from a ST205 celica go well and should get you close to 250awhp (i use to have a st162 celica with the conversion and i had the ct20b at one stage and it net me 271hp atw, plus it had full boost at 2500rpm)

Anyway goodluck with it

p.s. i have a low km st185 gearbox (from my halfcut) that i will let go cheap if you want it instead of rebuilding yours which tends to be big $$$. I live in perth aswell
