I'm getting it serviced tomorrow at my local toyota dealer (logbooks you know) but I got the impression that they may not have worked on this type of car before.


Theres the first thing you "Should not" do...
Reason:

Toyota: Your CV Joints are stuffed... $800 ea to fix
Problem: CV Boots busted... $15ea worth of rubber

Toyota: Your power steering rack is stuffed... $2500 for a reco
Problem: Boots are busted... Again $15ea worth of rubber

Toyota: Your batteries stuffed... $100 for a battery.
Problem: Toyota dealer swapped it for a reco (That same day)... MUTHER F*CKERS

All true problems had by myself for going to one dealer thinking that I'd be better off... How wrong I was

You really need to get to know your car... listen to her.. hear her cry for good quality Penrite oil... Mobil 8000 go go juice and top up your W/A intercooler every once in a while (swap the coolant... only takes 2 litres worth)

Watch out for smokey turbo's... it is standard for a light coloured GT-Four to have a black patch near the exhaust ( :

The clutch is fairly touchy thats normal... the car will not get a good start if your draggin' unless you rip it to 3krpm

No your steering wheel isn't weird... its just got cool retraction action for all the big fella's over there in Japan ( :


You should very much enjoy having one of these rare beasts so long as you have the $$ to keep it maintained.
