Yeah the chrarcteristic vent in the bonnet itself... I think it might be insulation of some sort, but it keeps the water out and at the same time lets hot air escape. Confused

I've been looking at domain names for the list/registry. A couple of available ones are

www.gt4grpa.com
www.grparallye.com
www.grpa.com
www.gtfourgrpa.com

What do you guys think? Any other ideas? I can also add hyphens. It's got to be something easy to find and remember.


gtfour.com gt-four.com st185.com gt4.com are all taken.

Just a suggestion...... www.1of150.com

I also like www.grpa.com cause its short and easy to remember.I know of 3 aussie delivered Group A's that have been written off. One in Sydney, another in Orange and another based in Melbourne which clapped it it out in Targa Tasmainia about 4 years back now. I have no idea what numbers they were Sad

We are a dying breed people. Please donate any money to the Group A fund and save us from extinction Laughing

White stuff? nothing but metal on mine... but it had the underbonnet insulation removed before I bought it...Do you mean the main vent?





I just ripped mine of my group A, its like aircondition insulation, like those insulation you put in your room, except with a black cover over them to hold it all together.


I will be glad to help desiging a GT4 Site if you need Hawk. I started one when i was in Grade 11, work in progress Very Happy

Oh and about that evilweapon GT4 - im quite positive that is a Jap Import GT4 - weather it be a personal import or a conversion, that is not a originial Australian Delievered Beast.

I noticed mine the other day when I saw heat haze rising from it... I'd like to get some sort of matting under there, but I'm not sure if it's the same type of matting that's commonly used as sound-proofing though. Confused

heh - at the time i couldnt afford a group A - they were 9K more than the one i got Smile

Justens uz185 - no idea - but its got ALOT of power to the rear trwads - even at low boost

As for mine - Its fast enough - i still havent raised the boost any further, but should have it running 17-18PSI by the end of the year with an updated dyno/quarter mile figure

Sorry to drag up an old thread but I used to work for Toyota WA when the ST185R GT4 Group A was first released in October 1991, and I have managed to find some old paperwork on this model.

I have a list of the 15 first delivered in WA and the other 135 delivered in the rest of Australia.

For the 15 in WA I have this info:

No. Colour Chassis (all JT764STJ5) Engine

85 040 00016142 3S9155914
90 040 00016174 3S9156127
88 202 00016168 3S9155911
87 3E5 00016159 3S9153621
89 3E5 00016170 3S9156128
92 3E5 00016202 3S9155815
50 182 00015841 3S9155235
128 040 00016827 3S9157115
131 040 00016876 3S9157236
129 202 00016852 3S9157484
84 3E5 00016127 3S9155912
134 3E5 00016945 3S9157483
136 3E5 00016998 3S9158244
137 3E5 00017018 3S9158232
138 3E5 00017045 3S9158261

I have the original rego details and selling dealer but I prefer not to publish this info.

As for the other 135 cars I have only the chassis number and the port they were sent too, on thermal fax paper that is badly faded. I might try and post this info at a later date.

Cheers,
Mitch.

The bloke at my local servo owns the one mentioned above from tassie. I know that it was in Targa so it is most likely the one. I'll let him know about this registry list thing next time i'm there.

Trolling through the posts above I came up with this:

Hawk No. 69 Chassis No. 00016002 Delivery Port Darwin (I think?)

Toobs No. 135 Chassis 00016983 Adelaide

Beej No. 93 00016210 Adelaide

Puffy No. 13 00015554 Sydney

GRPA74 No. 74 00016041 Sydney

Sikx5 No. 16 00015581 Sydney

Tooch No. 53 00015863 Melbourne

And for the other mentioned numbers:

No. 1 00014860 Sydney

No. 39 00015768 Sydney

No. 104 00016362 Sydney

Can owners please check that I have their car right or wrong so that I can prove it if I have the correct list or not ? Thanks.
If anyone wants to check a specific St185R Grp A chassis number, let me know.

You have my number correct. That is the type of information I would love to get my little toyota loving hands on for my site. I wouldn't publish most of the information of course but it would be good to be able to cross reference to make sure everything adds up.

Darwin huh. Interesting...

www.grparallye.com is still in the design stage. Sorry it's taking so long but I work 6 nights a week and have little experience in making web sites. Confused I think I'll be taking people up on their offers of assistance.

Right on the money!
Don't know about the original delivery port but she lives in sydney now.
Hey could you post up the original engine number, colour etc?

If you could fax or scan a copy of this document I would f'cking love a copy.
I have been trying to collect this sort of stuff
I have original faxes of the sticker placement and locally delivered modifications, an original copy of the group a brochure and a bunch of other little bits and pieces... this list would be an awesome addition to the collection!

Toobs,
I can't help you mate, sorry. Like I said in my original post, the only info I have on the 150 is the list of chassis numbers, plague numbers and first port of delivery/stock number. All this stuff also had a single line ruled through it making it had to read some numbers. I was not supposed to even get a hold of this list, but I had one friend in Toyota who got hold of this document when perhaps he should not have.......
I will send the stuff to Gary and he can host it on his web-site for the whole world to see and enjoy.
Cheers,
Mitch.

Mate,

to be honest #9 isn't much better now!!!

it's a hybrid between aus spec grp A and jap spec gt4... it'll be a very nice car when the engine rebiuld is completed. After blowing the engine at least twice my mate has finally decided to rebuild with strengthened internals and the like.

At some stage i think we (sydeny boys) should all try and get together... maybe WSID or just a street cruise... potential Smile


cheers

Hi guys

The Group A in Berry with no number is no longer for sale it is now living with me in Canberra. Very Happy
Its number is 38 I found this out after ringing Toyota Australia and then having to write a letter of request and provide a copy of rego to show that I was the owner and the car was a Group A and then they sent me the spare plaque Smile

The current condition of the car is really good, a couple of stone chips hear and there and a couple of small holes in the interior
(All to be fixed soon after Christmas)

Current mods are BOV, lowered, Mags and starting's of a stereo system (CD player, stacker, splits and 6x9)

Hey Guys,

Just a quick post to let those that don't know - www.grparallye.com is online. Not much there yet but I'm working on it. I'm working on the pictures section next so anyone with some pics of their cars they would like to show can send them to me through the site. I have some pics of a really great alpine install recently done in a ST185 boot, can't say whose or even what country (security purposes understandably).

Anyone that wants to fill out the form on grparallye.com for their car is welcome otherwise i'll just use the info from this thread. Anyone wanting to continue posting their details to this thread is also welcome.

I'm going for a drive along old cleveland rd this morning to see if i can find that grp A.

Happy holidays to all!!

I didn't get to go and check out the gorgeous white beast Sad I had to go in the complete opposite direction. If i'm not too tired I'll head out that way in about 2 hours. IF.

That #32 might be bogus. The VIN doesn't even come close to matching any of the 150, and the 1990 is wrong of course. Can't say for sure on the engine number but it does seem way too early compared to mine.

What is it with the rest of the world? Don't they get celicas? To me they are the best looking car on the road. If someone put my GT4 next to a brand new manaro and said you can swap if you like i might be tempted but only because I could sell the manaro and buy 2 or even 3 GT4's!!!!! I'm converting those around me slowly. Had a die hard ford escort driver have a sit in mine this morning and he said "Hey, this is nice" Sow the seeds of Toyota my brother's!

Find out the details of it if you can, ie number. Even better get him to go to my site and fill out the ST205 form. www.grparallye.com Pics would be great too!!

If any of you Toymoders out there know a of a Grp A find out the details if you can (send them to the site is even better) don't be shy approach the owner and tell them you love their car - always an icebreaker. Or if the owner isn't around at least get the last 4 or 5 digits of the VIN off the rego sticker and PM me. Oh and take note of the colour of the car.... Rolling Eyes

I've added some pics of my car to my site. I've got to find a nice scenic place to take some new ones, those are almost a year old Shocked

Well that's not very handy. I thought rego stickers were all pretty much the same, VIN to help out the cops to track down cars with no plates and to make sure the plates aren't phonies.

That white one is #56, got the VIN off the Vic Rego. It's not in the best condition Sad and it doesn't have the heat shielding under the center vent like most apparently. Poor thing. Crying or Very Sad Someone rock up there with a big wad of cash and rescue it!! And then spend even more money restoring it.

Looks like he got some rego for it and jacked up the price a bit.
It was 19k when I looked at it the other day!

Hey sikx5 i tried to buy that GT4 from Hobart as well but you outbid me.... wish I had have looked on these forums back then coz I already had got a rear cut for that car ( i was preety confident of winning the auction at the time oh well) but I had no room for the rear cut so I gave it away. I can check and see if the guy has used it yet if interested??

Also I have seen a ST185 that has a badge on the rear "GT-Four RC" anyone know what that is?? is it a JDM group A??

Can't be too many good genuine Group A's out there, a lot were made into race cars and in the last six months I've seen 3 absolute wrecks at Auctions.

hahahaha thats interesting. I wish you outbid me a little more Razz

I would be intersted in that rear cut, but the problem is transporting that up to queendland. It costed $1600 to bring up the car from hobart, so i can imagine it would be alot for a half cut? unless you can source out a place mate for transport?, i would be very interested in that half cut. Thanks alot.

Yeah they are also Group A's, they are apart of the 5,000 made. They are jap imports, Still a group A with a limited edition number and all, signed by carlos sainz, but not apart of the 150 that came to aus.

I don't know if this has been mentioned already but a white ST-185 Group A came fifth outright in the East Coast Targa. Not a bad effort against all of the GT3 Prosches, Ferrari's and Evo's etc.

There was a show on Channel 10 about it on Sunday but they only ever showed the Celica in passing never any decent info or anything.

Hey how much have all you guys got your Group A insured for?
Its insurance time again this year and I've got the sh!ts with the insured value they want to put on it!

Apparently my insurer decided to "adjust" my agreed value this renewal and dropped the value from 16k to 10.5k I had to argue with the guy that the car was worth more than even the 16k value we agreed to disagree on last year.
Now the agreed value on my new (unpaid) policy is 15.5k

I phoned Shannon's and once I had convinced them that my car was unique and that even though I was under 25 my driving record is pristine their policy was twice the price!

I phoned Vigil and they agreed to 16.5k agreed value and are only about $100 more expensive on the premium... I just don't like the ambiguity of their policy wordings.

HA ! who'd race a Gt4 - they are just heavy and slow and understeer terribly! Rolling Eyes


15 YO technology stillc apable of dishing it out to evo's and WRX's - Always good to see

10 grand oldtech AWD owning 70K modern AWD in targa = Priceless!

Go the GT4 - may your " sleeper status " remain a talking point
