I usually pickup a copy of Redline magazine and Fast Car every month because i like how europeans tune their cars. Any ways, i went to the local book store where i get the issues, but Fast Car wasnt in yet, so i picked up Redline. Check out the cover....


This guys got apparently the fastest street legal GT4 in the UK. Its completely gutted and kinda custom too. I would scan the article, but my scanners broken, so i took some pics instead.






he put in a set of Imprezza altezza style tails in instead of maybe going with a set of afterburners or JDM tails.

hes got a front exit exhaust too, but i donno what the point of the big section of the fender missing is.

he also made the spoiler wider too.

my fav mod of the car though, the carbon fiber mirrors. They actually look good too.

If i can get my scanner working, ill try and get the entire article put up.

Beastly.

Awesome.

I love how he's resisted the urge to make cosmetic changes to the body kit. Two extra blisters on the hood and those side scoops, and that's about it. Sweet.

the tails loook excellente amigos!!! damn!!! i want mines to be like that!!!

24 years old... ah to be young and full of money

november?? damn i musta totally skipped this one cuz i read every car mag they have on borders' shelves :\ im a sad panda

imma go look for it today now that im suspended from work

maybe tufy should duel this guy..is he on 6gc?

Impreza euro taillights? Eww. Other than that and the lime green, I like.

>
i doubt it..he might b on celica-club.co.uk though.

Personaly i think when tufy gets his squential tranny in, its gonna b better then this guys. He has a custom made 5spd tranny in it with stronger gears, but they arent straightcut. Plus i think tufys is a bit nicer mainly because he actually has an interior with his.

>

yea..he spent $30K british pounds on the car...so pretty much...about $65K canadian on it. But thats with like 3 motors and 2 trannies too.

>

or £30 British to the rest of us 30 GBP if you wish.

Could def. do w/o those tails.

I thought Tufy had the toughest GT-4? Or is Tufy not from UK? I forget...

wow 205 on the cover. nice too.

anybody wanna send me a copy? or can i get one here in VA

that side exhaust is f-ckin sick lookin....wonder what it does in the quarter??

would be nice if someone could scan this, i'd really like to read about it. besides the impreza tails, rear bumper, and green engine hoses, that car is really nicely done up!
i wonder what type of suspension he's using..

im guessing tein since he has a tein decal!

i want a copy!!! lol
he should def be a member on here if he isn't already.

i want his exhaust lol. bad ass.

why is it that on the front cover, he has no right high beam, yet all the other pictures, only the left is missing?

Hmmm i wonder what Tufy has to say???? LOLz

>
Tufy is from Cyprus not from the UK.

>
im working on it. Ill re-write out all of his mods in a bit.

I really like what he's done to the car (with the exception of the bare interior, but hey, you gotta lose the weight somewhere I guess). All that custom stuff, truly one of a kind.

Yes, to be that young with that kind of money...sigh...

i have to say that this is a very nice moded gt four. i liked it... mostly fuel pumps and custom intake manifold.

but i am a bit confused ...
it says car is road legal.. wtf road legal with an exhoust coming out from front fender!!!
it writes '' with 588 bhp. matt has hit low 12's at santapod'' exact number!!!! then where is dyno page and low 12's hımmm... there is many cars here at 6gc.net faster than that..

about my car. its all about what you want and like.
i like a weekend race car more than a drag car, i like to go for a ride with my wife. i like to listen music when driving. i like how 18'' rims looks.
its early to compare performance. still dont have results.
but i can say that dog box and seq shifter is fantastic
