Title: GT-Four RC from Downunder
Post by: Dookie on January 06, 2008, 01:32:38 am: Hey everyone,

My names Ryan, im 22 and this is my 1991 GT-Four RC. It is an import from Japan and has been in New Zealand since 2000. I have owned this car for almost two years now.

Modifications include:
* 3" Aussie HPC Dump Pipe
* SX Fuel Pressure Regulator
* Manual Boost Tap
* BOV
* Boost Gauge

In the near future i hope to find these wheels. They are TRD T3 Sports in Bronze or Silver - still cant decide ::).

Thanks for the nice welcome, 8)

@ChrisW: yeah dude its killing me to be away from it for so long lol, and im not going to see it until i leave the U.S in September :'( When i see it again it will be like the day i brought it haha.

@Redbeast: yeah gotta love the weather ;D I make use of the 4WD when i go to the mountains to snowboard in the winter :D

@Steve_666: There's about 4 or 5 other guys i know in NZ with RC's and there are some random GT-Four's around the place. Very rare to see a nice one though.
