1996 GT4 - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #79611 76 posts Started by johnyboy1976
Here are some pics and the specs of my 1996 celica GT4.
I bought her in july 09 and she was in immaculate condition inside and out and the last owner used only the best lubes / oils and components to service her and was OCD when it came to keeping her clean

When i got her she had a Blitz Nur spec R exhaust , Aussie DP , Blitz SUS induction kit and a Blitz DSBC spec S EBC - she had been dyno tested at 301BHP.
Inside she had the optional recaro interior and a Mook white dial kit
Sadly the exterior modifications left something to be desired - she had a genuine Veilside bodykit on and it was not to my tastes
The last owner had all the reciepts to show that the kit had cost £4500 to buy , paint and fit!!!
Luckily for me the car came with oem spoiler , skirts and bumpers too so easy enough to remove the kit and revert to standard

When i got her






Since then ive changed her quite a lot - here is what she looks like now

My wife also has a GT4
Its a 1995 JDM model in yellow.
it came with a Blitz Nur spec R exhaust on it and aussie dp and a Apexi induction kit but other than that engine was standard
inside standard other than a OZ steering wheel and some HKS chrono gauges in a pillar mount it also had white 17" OZ chrono alloys and mudflaps on it

When she got it







One of 1st mods was replacing the raiser blocks with Cf ones and adding infills

Then adding late spec rear lights

Then some colour to the interior

Then a cf bonnet , cf lip and OZ supertourismo alloys in 18"


swapped rear number plate surround for a black one

Projector headlights

18" Pro race 1.2 alloys on


The alloys are being swapped for same model but in black , have a cf rear number plate surround on the way , getting rear spoiler in cf along with mirror covers
Also got a recaro interior coming too smile.gif

Also got TRD skirts and rear spats to go on

Wow both of these cars are absolutely sick!
Wish the grey one was mine haha.
You probably should relocate the harness mounting points though.
Where you have teh harnesses mounted, if you get in an accident they can cause serious back problems. they should be mounted higher up(I'm not sure the optimal height but I think its somewhere on here) to prevent serious back injury.

And I gotta say, that diffuser on the first one looks perfect, and I like the tow hooks too biggrin.gif

Had real issues with my Tarox 10 pots.
when i got them i test fitted on my old 205 and they seemed to fit fine but i didnt put them on properly.
However i ended up getting rid of that to buy my current 205.
Anyhow in sept 09 i had my oem 4 pots removed so these could be fitted - brakes taken off and sold to a ST185 owner.
Came to fit the new ones next day and though they fitted there was lots of play - got in touch with Tarox who told me the kit i had been supplied was for a Celica ZZT230
As the company i had bought the kit from had gone bankrupt i was left with no choice but to buy the bits i needed off Tarox.
They told me all i would need was new calliper mounting brackets and would be £50 and take a couple of weeks at most
No problem with the money only issue was that i was deploying to Afghanistan and i wouldnt be back on leave till Febuary
However nothing i could do so paid the money
Came back in feb and no calliper brackets so rang Tarox who knew nothing about it despite taking my money - after a bit of colourful language and promises of what id do if they were not here by end of week they still didnt arrive before i went back out to Afghan frown.gif
Anyhow on return from my 6 months away they were here
Mechanic mate came along to fit and still wouldnt fit - rang Tarox who then told me i would need new bells too but discs would be fine - another £200 !!!
So ordered ST205 specific bells that took another 3 months to arrive
They got here and guess what i needed new discs as they wouldnt marry up to the bells - rang Tarox and another £450!!!
So bit the bullet and ordered and took about 3 weeks
Got em here came to fit and still wouldnt fit - at this stage my mechanic decided that he would take the calliper brackets away and have them proffesionaly modified to fit
And now they fit but only after costing me £3000 in total!!!!!
And then another £1000 for the rears - but they fitted on spot on 1st time

Well they better be worth it then, not that there's anything wrong with GT4 4pots...

There is when you want 400bhp at the wheels and going to be doing a fair bit of track
Wanted brakes i knew could take a bit of hammering

Women are snakes with tits
Well done man, both cars are very nice.

The blue/grey one is exceptional, and removing the tacky bodykit was definitely a good move. I love the track oriented modifications.

Lovely. smile.gif

I apparently said "DAMN, those are some big sucking calipers" so loudly that my cat looked at me like I'm insane (not entirely out of the question, mind you wink.gif).

To quote Timmeh, the word lovely does indeed sum up this build.
