  1. He's right! My GT4 took all my money without even as much as a blowjob! Mind you it was cheap on tax and not that bad on fuel around the 300bhp mark but you'll want more and more until one day you'll wake up skint and have to buy a diesel.....


  2. Oh and thought i'd add in that my mate had a GT4 the same time as me, was running almost identical mods but he had a front mount and i was still running the top mount charge cooler. We were both running the Motec system and his headline figure was around 15bhp more than mine so we had a play and he was nowhere near. Show's that there are muppets out there who claim they can map but you end up getting ripped off even when buying a £900 unit!

  3. Stand alones are expensive i totally agree but i'm a big believer in getting everything mapped in correctly. Changing pretty much anything on a turbo'd car such as the induction, exhaust, ignition or fueling without it being set up properly is asking for trouble. Not only are there power and torque gains but it's how all of the mods tie together and how it delivers the power and torque. You could be running a higher headline performance figure than someone whos using a stand alone but they would be making peak performance lower down the rev range making them much faster in the real world.

    I had a Motec M4 Pro on my GT4 and it completely transformed the car from a pretty unsafe 260ish with flat spots everywhere to a perfectly smooth driveable 300 with absolutly no changes to any mods. When i find a Glanza i want, the first thing ill be doing is going stand alone. Equally though something is only as good as the person mapping it so find someone decent is an obvious one.

  4. Ha ha I can't he won't sell it back to me and I just can't convince my lass as she is saving really hard for the house so abit unfair if I spunk a load of cash all over the celica. And I know I would, it'd be nut and bolt rebuilt from the ground up if I got my hands back on it, too dangerous as I've already spent 20k in my head on what I'd do ha ha.

  5. Thought i'd put the spec list up for the Celica....

  6. So here's the Auris. Might not be everyone's cup of tea but I've got to say that it is lovely on long trips which most of mine are. Just not quite quick enough for me but has embarrassed a few cars it maybe shouldn't have while pulling 38mpg on the highest tune setting.

  7. Thanks guys, the GT4 was and always will be the one that got away. I sold it from my home in Lincolnshire while based in York. Then moved camps to north Yorkshire and it's sat broken on the lads drive 4 miles up the road!! absolute torture! he hasn't been able to get it back on the road for two years because he became injured at work but tells me it'll be back soon! I want it back but just can't convince my other half or the owner to sell!


  8. I'm currently driving an Auris SR180 with a tunit box on running around the 200 mark with 360lbsft so it's fairly naughty but very comfy. Doesn't handle that great but it is a heavy car. Struggling to upload pics of this one at the mo so will do soon. It's currently sat on some BTCC edition team dynamic pro races with optional Toyota motorsport front lip. It will be up for sale soon as i'm on the hunt for a glanza and sr aswell as a five door for the usual reasons. Part of the deal of me selling the Auris is me being able to have a Starlet so that's why im on here :) Any spec lists or more pics and i'm happy to help!



    Thanks for looking


  9. Now it's time for the Scooby and know what you're thinking but i was after something a little different. I heard of a version called a GB270 in wagon form and only 100 were ever made so i found one near me and went to view it. It'd only done 19k and was absolutly spottless. And as i looked at the plaque i couldn't believe my eyes as it was number 1 so snapped it up.

  10. While the Celica was getting treated to my bank balance I stumbled across this Corolla TTE for a steal so used it as my daily driver and had the GT4 as a weekend car. It was a bit ropey when I found it but I managed to clean it up nicely and found the original TTE badge along with vent decals. Also handled very well but the ride on the TTE springs was awful.
