Well the day finally came and I have officially joined team Toyota!!!!

 

went down to Folkestone to pick up mu nice shiney Celica gt4 and I must say "ITS FVCKING FANTASTIC" ive been constantly grinning for approx 9 hours now.. its ace!!!

 

Big Big Big thank you to Adam R for running me down there, if u read this before i see you tomorrow ive got you a pressie. Very much appreciated.

 

I'll post some pics up tomorrow after ive given it a proper clean, it wasshiney when i got it but after a 300 mile trip back its a bit dusty.

 

Now then, who wants to buy a 300zx as i could now REALLY REALLY REALLY do with the driveway space. Make me an offer.

R u selling the boost controller or is it going in the toymota?

(Ref for sale thread)

Nice one scoops. will you be taking it down the pod!!!!! Mwhahahahahaahhahaaha :):):):):D

deffo, see you there, well im my rear view mirror !!!! well atleast for the first 60 foot LOL

R u selling the boost controller or is it going in the toymota?

The boost controller will be going with the 300 if a guy who came to view it last Sat rings me tomorrow about buying it, if not then it will be going in the ace toyota type thing

Good news Scoops, hopefully see it down at Mascrat Manor a week on Monday?

 

 

Barry.

deffo!!! i might have to stay outside as i wont be able to get my grin through the pub doors

Well pleased for you m8, I should be there, but not in the 300 though.

 

 

Barry.

you split too? or has phil still got yours? was it yours and rossy's i saw up ther last weekend?

by the way... im still grinning :)

Mate I'm never EVER letting you navigate EVER again!!!!!!!

Some shortcut that turned out to be!!!!!!!! :tongue:

 

still grinning? :p

yep!!! ffs did i know there would be a jam on the 51????

We did know there was a jam on the m6, i cant be held resposible for not knowing where all the jams are.

ive got 2 balls but unfortunately neither of them are crystal!!!!

 

 

Nice car there Scoops, a mate of mine has one and there certainly no slouch :D

looks really nice bud, have you ever driven 1 of the older celicas?????if you have what do you think of the difference between older and newer models??? i used to have a (h) 2.0l gt many moons ago and that was 1 of my all time favourites.the road handling was class,especially as i traded it in against a 2.0l bmw(which was crap)

 

Ive always fancied a celica turbo but i was told the newer models dont touch the older, so i never bothered.

 

how do you rate it compared to the zed?

 

jay

ive never been in the older models..... but ... the woman next door to my where my folks live used to have a few older versions.. i promised her a ride ;) so i'll let u know what she thinks.

 

i on the other hand think its brilliant.

whats the cornering like on ya new car? its not hard to guess its better than a zed(down to the weight) but is it something thats surprised you?

 

is there much difference on the power ratio....pound for pound what is the better car.

 

 

hehe, i just thought about it, ive just started making some contacts for parts for the celica(my misus brother is looking at 1)

 

give me a shout when ya start looking for bitz. :dance:

not too sure i can compare stock for stock, as the celica has a boost controller on it which ive currently got set at 1 bar. off the mark it goes like a bullet, although 5th gear is pretty gutless. I suppose seeing as it has a top end of 150 ish 5th must be a pretty long gear and hence the lack of pull. BUT this thing handles so well its unbelieveable, you point it.. it goes... and im not being a twat here and slagging the 300 but in my opinion the build quality is far far far better. butyeah of the mark its fantastic, not had it much over 100 yet, but theres time.

 

pund for pound which is the better car???? im putting on my flame proof suit now..... i am gonna go out on a limb here and say this is the car i should have bought 3 years ago instead of a zed.

 

dont get me wrong i always wanted a zed and it is a fantastic machine but in my opinion the gt4 is better than the zed in every department. :shock:

 

sorry guys, just my opinion.

 

Cant wait to get it down the pod and see how it compares to my zed no doubt shrimpy and co will be down there to whip my ass and tell me what u huge mistake ive made lol

 

As for bits... what can you get!!!! and if you cant get anything yet chop chop ;)

Nice car Scoops, looked at the older model before i got the Z. Had an s13

then, didn't rate it against the s13! A guy i know has one like yours, in

silver.....it's got 350bhp! :eek:

Nice car in its own right scoops, a mate at work is just about to buy one...

 

Tis hard hearing u say u think its better than a Zed but each to their own I guess....U already know what the rest of us think though...:)

 

Happy Motoring......;)

and its a toyota :eek: ;) its not as attractive as the z either but each to there own but im sure its more reliable besides is it rwd

 

greg

Nice car Scoops, there getting common though, stopped at the Shell Petrol station on the East Lancs, whats parked at the next pump, a black GT4 filling up lol.

 

 

Barry.

I will have to second the 'common' comment, do see LOADS of silly cars on the roads, quite a few GT4's trying to have a pop, bless them....:D To 60 their close, after that u have to give the royal wave!! PMSL!!

lol common my arse, how many at mascrat? err 1 if you are lucky? besides i read on the gt4 forum that they always let a 300 win

Perhaps its down to area, but int he east midlands, loads of GT4's about, I bet I see on nearly every day, and on the other days, always see normal Celicas......I am still to pass another Zed in over 2000+miles of motoring in mine! :)

 

But its just figures.....:)
