Blackdawgg posted:That is a sharp looking Celica. Did they come from the factory looking like that over there? In 2005 they released a Celica GT in the UK, which is essentially the same as mine but has 18" alloys instead of 17", and a much higher rear spoiler, and side skirts.

Traded my car in at the weekend and now drive this: Toyota Celica GT-Four ST205 (1995/96). JDM import, 81,500 miles. Virtually stock. With the turbocharger it pulls so much harder than the Celica GT-S I had before it, a joy to drive. I just imagine my fuel bills are going to skyrocket

Most UK models have the indicator/light controls on the left-hand side of the steering wheel, with wiper controls on the right. Japanese cars tend to reverse this from my experience.

DuckBOT posted:It's the 1ZZ GT. I heard about the problems with it guzzling oil and people throwing (cams?) out or something while driving. So far I haven't had any problems with it guzzling a quart or so a week like other people have said, maybe I got a fixed one (or got lucky!)? To stop it occurring, keep an eye on the oil level. Depending on how much you drive it, once a week should be fine. If it starts to get low, top it up and then check it more frequently for a while. Basically, if you leave it on low oil the cams start to gently caress up and then it starts guzzling oil like nobody's business. My old 1ZZ Celica would get through max-to-min on the dipstick in 400 miles when I got shut of it.

Have you joined the GT4OC yet? If not, get on it - https://www.gt4oc.net //edit: Here's mine, cross-posted from the "What did you do to your ride today" thread?  Got some OZ Superturismos in 17" to go on yet, when I can find a jack low enough to get under the thing. Here's a pic of it when I first got it back in January 2009

 Bought this E38 a couple of weeks ago for a bargain price. Drives beautifully, as you'd expect, and nothing wrong with it apart from a few pixels missing on the on-board computer. Only problem is, I've already misjudged the length of the car and turned too early into a tight driveway, and scraped the nearside-rear arch on a brick wall  Not too cut up about it given the price I paid, but it's annoying me.

My pride and joy, probably posted in this thread before: My "new" run-around. Makes the GT-Four feel like a Nissan Micra by comparison:

So, a while ago I had a Castrol rally kit fitted to my Celica GT-Four: The last bit of the puzzle as far as cosmetic changes to the car was to sort out the frankly awful interior, full of tired fabric and various things that had seen better days. That was done this weekend:

Seat Safety Switch posted:It looks gorgeous, finally has an interior to match the exterior. What kind of reaction do you get from people on the street? It tends to get most reaction from kids, weirdly. I don't think they realise the significance of the Castrol livery, or know anything about the WRC or the Celica's heritage though, I suspect they just see "race car" and like it. Quite a few thumbs up from the older guys though, 30+ say. I've had a few people ask me about it, and a couple who've asked for advice on fixing their car issues, as "you look like you know about cars" (when ironically I know almost jack) A lot of people probably think I'm a barry-boy (or ricer, in US lingo I believe) but I don't care about that - the car finally looks how I want it to inside and out, so I'm happy now And no, won't be putting a cage in it - I used to track it every so often but it's not really any fun, the AWD just doesn't let go. I've got my M5 for that stuff nowadays!

 E61 M5 Touring, 2007. 53,000 miles. Just had an Eisenmann race exhaust put on it. I loving love it. Had an E60 M5 about a year ago that was similarly good fun, but that kept going wrong. Touch wood, no problems at all so far on this one.

Thought I'd do a video of the Eisenmann exhaust on my car. Oddly, it doesn't sound as loud in the video as it does in person - guess the GoPro must have been mounted at a bad angle for the microphone or something.

AF posted:I didn't know the M5 came in wagon form. Man, that and the ST205 in rally livery...I like the cut of your jib. A lot. They didn't make many of the E61 M5s, especially in right hand drive - there were only ever 222 RHD tourings made, so I imagine they're even fewer now as they get written off etc.
