Daniel, you got some good shots! Thanks for taking one of the Rolla, with the lighting, it looks nice! Haha!

Solid shots, looks like there was a good turnout.
How is it that theres a legal Gt-four in the states, that is able to be driven on the streets?!
Are those XXR 530's 19's ?!

It is legal. It was already legally imported and insured when he bought it. He's made sure that it's 100% legal for the US. It's quite a machine.

That's awesome. Is it registered as a track car or something?
I don't know much about st205's in the states (Im in Canada) but I thought the only way was to Vin Swap (Illegal) or have it registered as a track car, not for street use.

I'm not sure how they did it originally. He wasn't the person to originally import it.

That should be everything needed to put projectors in your Corolla. I'd suggest buying a new set of housings and doing those just so you have the old set as spare in case something goes wrong or you sell the car and need to swap back. Those projectors are capable of 55W but that shortens bulb life a lot...but also more than doubles the brightness!

thanks for the pics!

you';re not as bad with a camera as you say you are smile.gif
The camera did most of the work. tongue.gif Are you on Facebook? I uploaded several more pictures of your BRZ there. If not, I can email you the full size files.

I think I fixed my overboost issue. I suspected the second wastegate was seized up but I followed other leads first. Just grabbed the actuator arm and it was a little stiff at first. Wiggled it a few times and it moves much smoother now. Put a little compressed air to it and it seemed to work just fine. A couple of highway pulls should let me know. Then, next time I'm up there in Mexico, you guys will get the full 450 whp 2JZ experience.

I was also privileged enough to sit in a Supra and be in the presence of a GT4, couldn't ask for more than that. Already looking forward to a spring meet!



This has to be one of my favorite photos of a celica ever
AGREED! that wheel gap on the gt four is SEXY af!
That's the GT4 lookalike, the GT4 didn't have the risers on the spoiler.

It needs to be the best turnout yet... The location is pretty good, it's very central to the Midwest. We just need to do more "advertising".

But then we might get a bunch of ****ing ricers and idiots.
