Topcat Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Sad to see the zed go, but picked this up yesterday. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1995-TOYOTA-CELICA-GT-FOUR-GT4-ST205-TUNED-CAR-IDEAL-FOR-TRACK-DAYS-/271208355967?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&nma=true&si=dazcAarcHaCkYrsZop34YcEHeUk%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Pretty rough cosmetically and certainly not as good looking as the zed but the performance is incredible Although i'm already missing my low down torque. Anyone knowledgeable on these, get in touch, bought on a bit of an impulse and i'm not too familiar with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Husky who used to be on here has one. I know they are rapid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topcat Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Still not sold on the looks but it just flys round corners. Will hopefully get it on the track in the summer after i've had it remapped and checked over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 They have the same Turbo as The MR2 Turbo. I know that because ours blew up and had to be replaced. You'll probably think I'm exaggerating but I kid you not the blow up looked like this, although we did manage to get the car home.

Topcat Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Lol. Well hoperully the uprated turbo technics one will see me good. Was tempted with the MR2 but have heard they're a bit lairy, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was tempted with the MR2 but have heard they're a bit lairy, Yes, the garage that fixed it for me couldn't get hold of a Turbo Technics either new or reconditioned so after a month we had to bite the bullet and go to Toyota. The garage kept it for a further two weeks just running it up and down the road 2 or 3 times a day just to get the smoke level down to reasonable levels .

rtbiscuit Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Husky has done a lot to his. Forged engine, hybrid turbo. Its very quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Nice... I like the styling except for the white wheels and the enormous rear spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick-r1 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Have one myself. The wrc edition. Cracking cars. Fantastic on track and very underrated too. Cant really compare it to a zed as the only thing they have in common is they both have 2 doors.... Wolfie-irl knows them inside out. Deffo the one to pick the brain of.

Dblock Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I always wanted a white one with gold alloys like in sega rally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chubby Ninja Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 great looking car. I think it really suits the white wheels. ive always wanted one especially as you don't really see any going about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topcat Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Nice... I like the styling except for the white wheels and the enormous rear spoiler I'm definately changing the wheels, i think a multispoke in antracite or matt black. The spoiler is a bit loud! It's running at 330bhp at the minute which i'm happy with, but the previous owner thinks with the current setup it should be safe up to 380ish, but i think i'd want uprated conrods in there if i was to push it that high. goiung to talk to a specialist next week and see my options.

Would definitely suit less loud wheels and a more subtle spolier for my tastes but each to their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Husky took the spoiler spacers out and he felt it looked better on his. I like the big wing and white wheels. But that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topcat Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hmm, i'll look in to taking the spacers out, think it's a nice shape just a little to high lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brillomaster Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Question is, does it make all the correct whistles and chirrups for a tuned turbocharged car? If so, the spoiler and wheels are entirely justified With the exhaust thats on it people are going to turn round and have a look, might as well give them something lairy to look at! Also, white wheels are cool, end of story! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave1221 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 i had one of these for 5 years and still my favourite car out of all i've owned: Very reliable, but watch that superstrut suspension and the figure of 8 links - it all gets very expensive to replace!

What wheels are they, they are something like i'm prob after Apparently quite a few fitting problems over the calipers on the st205 model. Currently on 18's but think i may put it on to 17's to give me a bit more arch clearance. Figure of 8's done in the last year, so should be good for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topcat Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 What kind of BHP is his running? Pretty high if he's gone fully forged i guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
