just had it proffesionally mopped and valeted so thought id share some pics.

I admit I don't really know anything about these cars, but looks wise I am not too keen mate.

 

Carlos Sainz one for me if was to have one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

They're slow.

 

its each to their own

scoobs arent exactly the prettiest car on the planet either.

micky, yes they are slow.

its a cracking car though.

 

very slow, very very slow, dont drive bad tho,

 

Needs to be white with the castrol colours lol. The best shape GT4 IMO

 

looks like a nice tidy one you got there mate.

 

Looks 1000 times better than the new celica shape.
Gotta love retro

 

just pray to god that nothing ever goes wrong with it... that car is a mechanics worst nightmare!

 

in what way is it a nightmare mate?? there not to bad, he will be able to change his spark plugs quicker! lol!
and standard there not the quickest things in the world but the transmition is very strong! the engines are pretty useless unless the paper head gasket is changed, when it is changed you can run more boost!
i have one of these BUT,
i have fitted a later celica (st205) engine in to mine, the 205 engine has a better cylinder head, steel headgasket and the ecu is mapped to take higher boost! so with my engine running 1.2 bar my car will be around the 300 bhp mark. my car is very very stripped out too and although not as light as a classic its not far off! my cars for the track so you may see it next year! mine has fibreglass carlos sainz bonnet too
so unless micky you got 300 bhp i wouldnt be so sure
and another thing, the gt four uses a 50/50 power split to the front and back so makes for excelent play time in the wet or on the beach!
i had an st205 before my scooby and loved it!
any questions just ask mate! if i dont know the answer il know someone who will!

 

well my friends a good mechanic and just said they were a nightmare to work on.. my mate had one and blew his engine and it took ages to sort out.. plus his running costs were higher than my STIs!

 

Used to love these. I'd ditch the horrible wheels and exhaust and put it back to standard.

 

ive just bought a set of wheels and im looking for a more standard looking exhaust.

running costs are way less than the type ra!!! getting average 25mpg. I do drive it very steady though.

Very nice mate

I had an almost identical one but a 91 'H' plate., red, uk car, widebody.
I loved mine until things started to go wrong with it

 

I like it, looks like a very clean example

Heres one of my friends old Carlos Sainz edition

Carlos Sainz Rolling on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

365bhp a few years ago now. Had Anti Lag and launch control, was bloody quick!

 

hi m8 i had a celica next shape on loved it to bits and i think looked awesome but got offered a straight swap 4 my scoob i snapped his hand off havent looked back since but miss the looks of the celica heres a pic what do you think ? think it lives in boston skeggy now ?[IMG][/IMG]

 

i had a black h plate gt4! i loved it! it was a more fun car to drive and had a better gearbox than the scoob! i didnt think it was much slower than my uk turbo scoob! the girlies loved it, apart from the bucket seats in the back when you needed some action! had to buy the scoob as a more sensible option for baby on way!

 

i had gt-four a good few years ago, black one with momo 17s was really mint but was really slow for a 4 wheel 2l turbo, but it was standard i only kept it for about 5 months, nice in side tho for a 1990 car

 

That was the older shape wasn't it

Nice looking car Shaggy, well played.

TX.

 

Nice one, James.

 

Would look great on a white set of compomotive MO's. I think if these car's are styled with their rally heritage in mind they can look awesome. Please stay way from lowering a putting one of those bloody rediculous veilside body kit's on it!!

 

Nice motor, I have a signed poster in a frame from hugh ar kankinon in the celica.
Cheers
Colin
