Celica GT4 owner, saying hi

[Tartan]

Hi guys .... hopefully my first round of build-up will be done soon so I can come hang.

Here's what I've been working on:
www.speedtoys.com/~tartan/gt4

At this point, the turbo (even though it's upgraded) will be holding me back. Maybe in 2004 I'll slap on something larger and go for 450hp.

For now, I'm just cruising around in the boosted Tacoma.

Anyway, later....

damn...those are rare!!!


welcome to the board!

>damn...those are rare!!!

And I have an 88 also. :)

>welcome to the board!

Thanks. Soon I'll be sponsoring, too, since I have some nice suspension goodies I sell.

Oh, and btw, I've got pretty fun plans for the Tacoma, too. It's already blown via the TRD sc kit, but not very safely (accountant decisions, obviously, at TRD). So into I'm putting:
Supra MkIII T injectors (same as 1st gen Celica GT4)
Supra MkIV TT MAF
Supra MkIV TT pump
SX fpr
Custom fuel lines
ELP 12psi pulley
Aquamist water injection
Guage set (GReddy and maybe some Defi)
Controlling it all with the E-manage, if I can make it work (otherwise, S-AFC and S-ITC)

Looks nice. You gonna run at the Club Clash? I'm curious to see how it does at Bandi.

When is the Club Clash? Hopefully not too soon, because I have to break-in the engine, then tune it -- I mean, completely tune it, cuz it's got a standalone ems.

I'm still undecided if I want to torture the car with drag racing, but chances are I'll be down there. I just really hate clutch jobs -- it means pulling the engine.

Not till May so you have some time.

Nice ride, Those are very rare, have you dyno'd it yet?

Once I get the car back together and the engine broken-in and tuned, I'll take it to Autowerks, or whatever they're called. But StreetDyno works just as well, and is a WHOLE lot cheaper. :)

I never bothered dyno'ing it when it was stock. 205bhp isn't that exciting.

NICE! I looked around for one of those for a long time before I settled on my CRX. That model Celica was extremely rare and quite expensive when I was looking. Looks great!

Thanks, man. Ya, I got lucky. Found it in Ft Collins in July 2000.

There are about 15 for sale right now, between Autotrader and alltrac.net. 1st and 2nd gens, that is.

I remember the all trac turbo's going for around $10k about 3 years ago...what are they priced at now?

1st gens: $2k to $8k
2nd gens: $3.5k to $12k

Last year, there were at least two, really clean 1993 models in the Denver area, that reportedly went for around $11 to $12k. But the 93's are special: it was the last year All-Trac sold in North America, and only 81 (or was it 83) of them were purchased.

Wow,they are more rare then I thought.
