So anything is possible, right?

I was back home in Raleigh, NC last week for a couple of days and...

Someone MIGHT have a GT4 (at least the entire body kit) and lives in my dad's neighborhood. I knocked on his door to say hi, with my celica right behind his, and he turned out to be very nice. There were no badges on the car at all (not even on the riser blocks) so I asked him what trim it was - GT4...right? He got a bit nervous and said he didn't know what kind of car it was, just that he recently bought it from a friend of his. I wanted to take pictures but didn't want to freak him out. He didn't want to pop the hood because it was raining. I've seen one other car that had the GT4 front end, but that was here in Charlotte. I'm betting the one in Raleigh IS a GT4...

Think he managed to get one in (maybe the ol' VIN swap) or bought the body off of one?

Next time I'm there I'll bring him a case of beer which will give me rights to open the hood or to crawl underneath that SOB!!! Because of work in Charlotte, I had to leave THAT DAY and couldn't stick around Raleigh any longer - a reason why I missed the Raleigh meet

Has anyone also spotted one in the states?

was it RHD?

What color was it Carlos?

And it would be nice to see a legit GT4 but I'm doubtful it is. However, I would love to be proven wrong!

If we had a picture of the rear end, it would y be hard to tell. The fuel tank peeking out from underneath the rear bumper where a spare tire normally hides is a dead giveaway.

It's red and LHD. Didn't notice the rear end . I'll try to get someone to snag a pic!

Would be pretty awesome if it was a GT4. Gonna try to make him my best friend if it is lol

Oh, my...I have a hunch that is (was?) Bobby's car.



Was it this car?

It would be sad if Bobby sold his car but I'd understand. Oh, and there's one more GT4 front-end car in NC and that's Ben in Raleigh.

yeah that was probably bobby's car. what part of charlotte are you from?

I don't think it was that car. Wasn't that clean and didn't have any tint. No sticker on the glass either. Oh and no projector headlights.

I'm by University!

Is Ben's red? I forgot the guys name but it sounds familiar

>

And the plot thickens! This is getting really interesting.

Ben's is teal.

It's Robert Andrew's old car, and no the guy doesn't know anything about the car. Don't believe it has a 3s though. A couple of people have run into this guy. It's Rob's old roommate, and yes it is red. The guy just needs to hurry up and sell it to me so that someone who actually appreciates that car owns it.

Ahh! That solves it; I don't know why I didn't assume it was Rob's old car.

And don't you have enough Celicas Ben?

nevvvaaaaaaaar. time for another 3s swap. that 7a has zero balls.

hahahahaha! Nailed it

>

Screaming redline + rarer than the 3S-GTE = Go BEAMS.

I was thinking i'd swap a bone stock 3sgte into it. Once I finish building the e153 for my car I can save the s54 and axles for the new car.

is it creepy everyone figured it out that fast ?

Gotta know the competition in the area!

>

haha kinda is. With a vague description too haha! TO THE INTERNET!

>
I have a 7AFE . I believe it has half a testicle

The secret to the 7A is to dump it at 3,000 and redline it.

>

So true! 3k is the sweet spot lol

The clutch in my ST is slipping like crazy. Won't be doing any 3k dumps till that ish is replaced.

No way in hell I would ever sell my car! Even if the engine blew! New transmission is in and is running like a beast. I am down for a day or two getting my axles squared away tho! Just clearing things up

Glad to hear it, Bobby!
