just part exed my 306 in for flat4's Celica GT4 and WOW!!!

...coming to a trackday near you SOON!

:D:D:D:D:D

Owain

:D

my brothers happy with the 306, so everyone's a winner :)

mate, i'm glad to hear that. did u read my post about the boot being wet? had that bung come out? might wanna glue it in or something. (right hand side of boot)

done the pads in on the GT4 tonight and used £25 of petrol in 2 hours... and still grinning... what pads are they d'ya know? cos i like the sparks that come off them.... :D:D:D:D:D

Got our freshly imported '94 GTFour yesterday. Was excited enough, but it looks like it's the WRC/Group4 version. Only problem is it's now sat on the drive while we get all the paperwork etc done... I just want to drive it!

no idea on the pads, probably toyota OEM :rolleyes: 306 hasn't been out of the garage yet so water isn't an isssue, i'll check for the bung tonite :)


kev :)

gonna try some ferodos in there see how they hold up... jees she puts some heat into them... never seen yellow brake disks before, red yes, yellow no... me and me mate lit fags off them about 5 minutes after stopping

(remembering to leave her running after a thrash...)

:)

If you're after any advice on the gt-Four's try the GT4OC on.... www.GT4OC.com
As for pads I've been told that Porterfield pads are brilliant which is what I'll be getting for my 4 next..

Owain - fancy giving it a squirt on a night event? I'll get on the maps :)

no 4wd turbos allowed as of 1/1/04 mate... gutted... i'll be using the fiesta though...

news so far on GTFour:
changed the sparkplugs, oil filter, oil tomorrow when i get a new sump plug as the thread is stripped, flushing the rad as i type, ready for new antifreeze tomorrow, relocated flow meter and binned sha9ged hose on inlet side of turbo, removed intercooler and discovered a big split in the hose onto the throttle body, new pads all round, cleaned up disks, painted all the calipers matt black to aid heat dissipation, rejigged exhaust hanger at the back, started installing cold air feed, discovered she has a distributor so should be able to retard slightly to eliminate pinking, got the stereo working, adjusted the headlamps, washed her twice and spent £140 on fuel....:D

...and i'm still not bored!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I thought they can run but not be eligible for a result?

Dunno mate, may have a look into that... she's made for it. Took her up the lanes the other day... yeehaa!

Rather use the fessie tho 2 b honest, she's very clean 2 rally.


o.:D

:D

amazing what a new owner can achieve that the previous owner could never get round to doing ;)

day 5 in the GTFour house...


fitted new super-duper headlamp bulbs, waited for sump plug and intercooler>throttle body pipe, rejigged my homemade i/c water spray, waited for parts, waited waited waited....:(

priced dizzy cap... £58 ouch...!

:D:D:D:D:D

Congratulations!

So you come round Easter in your own car?

hmm.... lots of white smoke started coming out the back, but i think i've tracked that down to the oil breather filter being really restrictive. howeevr, b4 i tracked that down, the pressure popped the cam cover seal, pi55ing oil all over the manifold and turbo.... very very nearly had a fire!:eek!:


guess my rings are not so good by the amount of crankcase pressure i've got... :(

then again i was playing with the bleed valve... but only took her up to 0.6 bar... wouldn't go any higher even if i wound it out more,.. could this just be down to the bleed valve being puny?

o.

my best buddy's just gone and bought a Sunny GtiR.... now i'm gonna have to try and keep up!!! :(

but i'll enjoy trying.... :D:D:D:D:D

Owain

tee hee.... me and my buddy just went for a thrash... me in the GTFour and him in his new Sunny GtiR... BANZAI!!!!

BMW M3 E46... fodder! just fodder! eaten alive! the girl in the back even spilled her bacardi breezer!!! :D:D:D:D:D

fun fun fun fun fun fun ;)

LOL, im considering the GT4, poss over a scooby, want something 4WD and quick, for £7000, bu think the GTI-R is ugly (no offence anyone).

You got any advise for buying one etc :D

get a 306 and do a swap!

nah, ain't had her long enough to comment really... best off lookin at www.gt4oc.com

(mine's in bits in the garage, but my fault!)

:o you've broke it already - saying that, brother's cracked the front bumper in two by hitting a kerb :D
