    Re: My WRC CELICA REP

    Gorgeous mate. I'm seriously thinking about selling my Pulsar and getting one of these. In your honest opinion, which is the better car? - Pulsar or Celica? Bearing in mind my pulsar is standard and I'd be looking for a bog standard GT4 too. What are the weak points, and is there anything to look out for especially? A lot of the ones I've seen advertised are automatic, which puts me off...

    Cheers,
    Tom

    Re: My WRC CELICA REP

    Hi Fossie as standard the celica wins hands down, its faster,handles better, stops quicker 315mm vented all round,better build quality,gearbox is good for 500bhp the GTIR cant cope with much more than half of that,never seen an auto GT4 and the major thing with gt4 is when buying won is make sure the fig 8,s are done on the suspension as this can end up as a £1000 job if you not careful NO OTHER DOWN SIDES TO THEM cheers andy

    Re: My WRC CELICA REP

    never seen an auto GT4 either, fig 8 front suspension is the only real problem as said.

    will probably end up getting a GT4 for Elaine when I can afford one.

    the handling is awesome too - i had a SS2 celica which is the same double wishbone setup (super strut suspension) and was brilliant .... (only had the 180bhp NA engine though )
    the only reason these didn't dominate wrc was that they were banned for cheating

    Lovely, sure i saw you the other week up in essex around dagenham(ish) when i was going to get my laptop. Cant imagine there are many if any in the same castrol colours so must have been you! There was another white celica the same shape just behind yours in the traffic and must say yours looked the absolute nuts

    Cool story! Thanks for sharing.

    Very nice car Why is the color not as white as the wheels color though ? Isn't the color totally white ?
