FS: ST184 Celica with GRP A GT4 engine conversion *cheap*
Fri, 29 October 2004 09:27
I was going to get this car engineered before I sell it but I still haven't got around to doing so due to other commitments. I willing to sell it for 2-3k less than I was going to with engineers. Engineering will cost $600 since it's had all the needed upgrades to make it pass.
The car was fitted with a Group A GT4 3SGTE motor about 2 years ago and has had an MR2 turbo gearbox conversion. Just these mods alone would cost around 6-8k to get done by a workshop. This car suits a buyer looking for something unique with the performance to match. I have not yet run any times with this car but with a good launch, it should be a high 13 or low 14 sec car. I have beaten modified Skylines, WRXs, GT4s, 180s, SS commos etc. with the current setup. The fact that the car is relatively light (<1200kg), has good power (estimated 200kw) and is FWD makes it hard for many cars to catch up after 100km/hr.
Insurance is relatively cheap compared to imports as well.
I have spent easily over 10k on mods during the last few years to get it how it is.
Only problem is that it has a craked rear tail light which I have been quoted $200 for a new one.
Here are the specs.
