Toyota Celica GT4 Testing the Interest
Hi All
Some of your know the car.
I am considering selling this car with serious mixed emotions.
1990 Toyota Celica GT4 (All wheel Drive)
One of the few or only Legal ST185 GT4's in the country, with ITAC certificate.
Just Turn your head LOL PhotoBucket doesnt want to leave it turned.
Car Was resprayed by Greenstone Autobody.
Carbon Fiber Carlos Saintz Bonnet (Painted red)
Custom Front Bumper
3SGTE Gen 4 (St215) engine built by KAR (CP Pistons, Pauter Rods, ACL Race Bearing, ARP Bolts.
Garret GT3071R Bearing Turbo with Anti-Surge Housing etc etc supplied by Rezlo
ACT 6 Puck Clutch and Heavy Duty Pressure Plate fitted a month ago by Norbrake
Tial Water Cooler Wastegate (Yes the latest Water Cooled Wastegate)
Tial BOV
750cc Injectors
MSD Ignition (Brand New)
Vari 6 Pot Calipers on the front
Vari 4 Pot Calipers on the rear.
Tein Full Coilovers
Tein Motor Control Unit to adjust the damper while driving (Hard/Soft) can store 3 presets with front and rear settings.
Cusco Front and Rear Strut Brace and Lower H Frame Support.
Devils Own Progressive Water/Meth Injection which has never really been used as it was just fitted with the large fancy racetype tank.
GReddy Boost Controller (The latest one)
Dicktator 60-2 ECU
Innovate AFR Gauge
AEM Methanol Flow Gauge
Greddy Multi Gauge (Boost/Water Temp/Oil Temp/Oil Pressure/Fuel Pressure/EGT but sensor needs to be installed)
Cobra Reclinable Front Seats (Need recovering I think but not terrible yet)
Custom JBL sound installation. (Unfortunately Amp was stolen at RDG)
Large Battery relocated to the boot which I need to replace due to no longer holding charge.
Has only been on the Dyno with Hylton once with the old 540cc injectors and had fuelling issues at just over 6200 rpm, made 226kw on the 4 wheels at 0.8 Bar Boost with 359nm on pump fuel.
Never seen more than 1.1 bar boost.
15,000 km on the clock since the car was built, engine probably has about 9,000 km on the clock. And yes it has been driven, its not for display purposes.
There are several things that I am willing to remove from the car to bring the price down. (Water Meth, Greddy Items, AEM Gauge, Tein Controller, Remaining Sound, Vari Brakes)
Comes with Original Steel Bonnet with the scoop and if you are worried about sparesit also comes with a Spare GT4 that is 99% complete with 3Sgte, Gearbox, 4wd System etc but Swazi regsitered so can not be used on the roads.
SH1T there is a lot of stuff and probably still havnt covered everything.

Re: Toyota Celica GT4 Testing the Interest
very nice mod list!
Re: Toyota Celica GT4 Testing the Interest
Really nice car. I'm just curious why you modified the front bumper?
That Carlos Sainz edition bonnet is a nice piece.

Two reasons really,Enzio wrote:Really nice car. I'm just curious why you modified the front bumper?

1. Was to get additional airflow for cooling, this bumper houses an oil cooler in each corner (Gearbox & Engine)
2. The bumper broke so while looking at the repair we decided to customise it a bit and make it a bit more agressive.

OK, thanks.

Re: Toyota Celica GT4 Testing the Interest
John I hope this is to make way for a bigger better project..... non of this getting old b.......
In all seriousness this is hottest Celica that Ive seen, built with all the right parts and runs really strong.
The new owner will not be disappointed, it takes a hell of a long time and patience to build a car up too this spec.

Re: Toyota Celica GT4 Testing the Interest
Hi Vince
Yip the plan is to get something a little bigger , the Celica is a bit of a problem for me when I need to include a helmet in the mix.
I am in two minds still with selling it or having 2 toys but one will normally land up collecting dust which is something the Celica doesnt deserve. But to have two classic Toys does make for a nice looking garage.
If someone is interested then I will probably let her go at the right price but if not then I will just keep both of them.
