1991 JDM st185 GT4
« on: September 12, 2007, 09:36:47 pm »
Well the time has come and now my St185 celica gt4 has to be sold, it would make someone a bit of a performance run around....from the factory it came with permanent 4wd, 204bhp and 225lbs torque and with years of wear my addition of a air filter and a s/s exhaust will probably scrape back what was lost?  ???

JDM St185 GT4,

'H'reg 1991, imported 1998, 108,000miles (supposedly some of this is km's?)
tax    31/1/08
test   20/8/08

was a faded grey metallic but now MATT black (not everyones cup of tea, maybe a gud base for gloss black or grafix)
grooved front discs and recent pads
new rear pads
15" white OZ rally-style alloys (with good tyres all round)
17" gunmetal ROTA tarmac2 alloy (need re-furb with good tyres)
clear front indicators
red sparco mudflaps
s/s exhaust with 5" backbox ( nice burble but not that loud)
s/s airfilter
forge dumpvalve fitted to a silicon t-piece
standard boost (8psi?)
standard interior with a bit of a worn drivers seat (probs from my fat arse) a dark alloy gearknob and a boost guage on dash
rear orange indicators now tinted red (de-tango'd)

the car has been very reliable since i've had it (aug 06) but i have changed the front driveshafts and front passenger wheel bearing..... its been good fun but puttin my sensible head on makes me realise that while i'm still on the sick from work its just too expensive for the insurance and cost of running (v-max drinkin problem  :D   )

so       £1200ovno

original with rota's on

front end with new plate and clear lites

engine pic

white wheels and rally flaps on b4 paint

As i don't seem to be able to edit my post i'd also like to say it would come with at least half a tank of V-max  ;) but the main thing is it is fitted with a sony cd/mp3 player as well

Just took her for a run-out to Carlisle and thankfully she never missed a beat along the '69.

Was fun round the twisty bits and as i came back along the military road, brakes felt good, she pulled well and economy wasnt bad when sitting at constant 50-60mph,

Noticed a bit of a whirring noise from the back-end so have got a wheel bearing on order from fensports, if i dont even get a reasonale offer by monday i think ill put her on flea-bay  ???
