Hi all - a non-Honda owner! Celica GT-Four

[tangcla]

hey all,
My name is Clarence, I'm 22 and I joined Alcoholics Anonymous because....

oh wait... wrong forum.


I'm 22, and I joined OzHonda a while ago - but I don't recall actually doing an introduction... so here it is!

It's a Celica GT-Four, #77 - the last one in Australia.

I like walks along the beach, sunsets, romance novels, and hanging around James (Darkwatch) and Nick (EuroAccord13).

Hey Clarence. We met last night.... on the beach...hand in hand... hehe jks.

p.s. i'm the guy who drove the slow black accord sedan.

[destrukshn]

[tangcla]

oh, was your car Aus delievered? I thught they were all imports?
Mine was Aus delivered. Last one in Australia... rarer ;) and we get leather! w00t!

[SiReal]

is it rude to ask how much the RRP of these were when they were brand new? I'm very curious to know what toyota priced them vs nissan and their 32 GT-R, fairlady back in those days ;)

no, not at all - they were $90K when they were new. Back in 1994.

[SiReal]

wow! thats heaps! but i guess they're somewhat of a supercar/rally road car and wouldve probably been used in amatuer and lower grade rallies. interesting...

[Mr_will]

st205...very nice indeed.
by far the best looking gt4's imo.

gonna tell us how much you paid for it? :p

[tangcla]

Paid $23K for it - spent easily over $15K on mods since I bought it.

Was looking at selling it for $30K - had a buyer lined up - but turned it down and kept it instead. :D

[Q_ball]

Oh gawd...another guy that likes walks on the beach....ISSIT!!! lol

Welcome la :)

[WPN.22R]

My friend owns #2

With leather and in silver, the st205's are sooo much better than the previous, in every possible way.

I needed my turbo to keep up to this one.:p

[Encor3]

[Sensei]

Hi Clarence, thats a yummy gt4.
Walks along the beach are overrated but I'll watch the sunset with ya!:zip:

[[SDCTVE]]

nice ride man, i was a celica fan at one stage... wish my car was still on the road....would've been a good run :(

[tangcla]

This is the so-called TRD kit (JDM toyota facelift bodykit).

TRD made a kit for the non-GT-Fours, not for the GT-Four.

so how many of these babies still are still around?

welcome!
5000 worldwide, 77 in Australia/New Zealand (5 in NZ, so that makes 72).
