fs feeler...97 ST with GT-4 body parts, 19inch wheels and more - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #33728 18 posts Started by GT-4
Basically, I have a take home car and kids. So, the celica is basically sitting home and its uncomfortable for the family if I use it on weekends. So, I gonna get a 4dr vehicle thats an automatic so my wife can drive it also.

But here are the details on the car:

97 Celica 25 anniversary ST 5 spd red
pwr windows, doors, cruise, sunroof, toyota factory alarm with keyless entry
full genuine toyota GT-4 body parts (all painted by Toyota)
GT-4 hood spoiler
GT-4 rear spoiler
GT-4 fogs
EuropeanToyota "chin" spoiler imported from Toyota Netherlands
Rear bumper lip add ons
Toyota side skirts

(all items painted to match the car by Toyota)

19" inch Fondmetal wheels with staggered offsets
19x8 in front 19x9 (approx 5 lip)in rear

lowered approx 1.5 inches with springs (i forgot the name...ill look it up)

Carbon fiber interior kit
white faced guages

also installed is HP headers (chrome, but getting faded do to the GT-4 hood opening)
and a cold air intake (chrome)
Car has just turned 120,000 miles and runs great
exterior is in excellent shape. I believe it only has one door ding and no scratches.
interior is also in excellents shape.

I know im forgeting other items, but ill update as I remember.

Clutch is fine, but when pushed in, makes kind of a whirring noise...believe its the throwout bearing.
Besides, that clutch is fine and shifting is perfect.
I have no problem in changing the clutch if the sound is a bother to someone or negotiate on price

Also, front tires only have about 30% thread left rears have about 80%.

Besides those items, car is great...and i hate to see it go...but its time.

looking for offers around $6000obo but im somewhat flexible but firm. The wheels and body panels are over $4000.00 alone


pics of car and progress when all items were being installed can be seen at website. Click on daily driver and then to "finally exterior done" (or something like that). But you can also see the progress from start to finish by clicking on other links. The other stuff is my 588whp GT-4...feel free to look!!!

Do you work for Toyota? I think I saw your car when I was picking mine up in Florida.

It seemed not so long ago that you posted about just getting your lovely Italian 19" rims... Shame to see it go, hope the new buyer will take good care of it! Good luck with the sale.
*kinda off topic* but how come you never came 2 any of our small meets we had down here?

Damnit. Your car is so hot. Oh, btw, it was a Limited Edition. 96's were the 25th Anniv. Ed. 97's are the Limited Edition. Man, at least get some more pictures of your car for us to drool over. Just wondering, but, how many miles were on the car?

kindasad.gif frown.gif *cries* lol. man. i really wanted that car. and its so close to home too, wish i was the lucky guy who bought it.
good job. how much did you sell it for? you should tell the new owner to get on here.

I saw your car while I was down there and it was right then that I needed the GT4 front end conversion. Pictures of the GT4 simply do not do it justice.

yep...it was really clean...interior and exterior. I would have to say the cleanest 6th gen i have come across. Buyer picked it up today. I hated to see it go. I almost shed a tear frown.gif I loved that car . But time to move on...I picked up a 99 Lexus GS300 on Sat. It was really clean also. So, now im looking for some 19x10 rear rims and some 19x8 rears. Got to make the grocery getter a little sporty. Ill still check in on this board from time to time.
