Pikey009 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Looks good but on absolute drugs with the price! Also not sure how it can have a Carlos plaque when it's an import RC. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Celica-GT4-RC-Carlos-Sainz-No-1631-of-5000-/142293216801?hash=item2121562e21%3Ag%3AM0wAAOSwhlZYsx8S&_trkparms=pageci%253A7969a388-fd17-11e6-86f0-74dbd1809780%257Cparentrq%253A80c0a9a815a0a624b7f0ee95ffe7fe42%257Ciid%253A8 Quote

glanzanut22 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 The world has officially went mad Quote
Pikey009 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 There's another for 5k in black ha ha. I'm all up for old toyotas making a bit more money especially when you see the prices of other jap cars of the same year but it's taking the mick a bit. Quote
morgey Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Thats rediculous, if they were actually a limited build of sub 1k but 5k isnt realy a limited run is it. Hell they only made 750 SR's they must be worth 30k by now surely? Quote
Pikey009 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 I used to own number 1 of 100 Impreza gb270 wagons and only got 12k for that- was immaculate with 28k on the clock. Mind you just look at the old fords and how much they're fetching Quote
morgey Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 That would have been worth hanging onto. The TME evos are going for crazy money these days. A mate got his for sub 8k and now youd be lucky to get one for less than double that. And dont get me started on the 22b impreza!! Quote
daniel_g Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Homologation cars are mad priced. Just need to look at the old spec B cars, RS200, Delta S4, Quattro etc. Quote
Pikey009 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Yeh they are aren't they. Gt4 st205 wrc's are still dirt cheap and one of the most capable road cars of the lot. Ooo I do love a good TME (saw one for 40k the other day) and the 22b's are gorgeous but like you said mate crazy money. The gb Impreza wagons don't seem to go for loads but the rb320's are holding well. A good celica gt4 is a decent investment at the right price and will start going up soon I think, a lot of badly modified ones out there though. Edited February 28, 2017 by Pikey009 Quote

Some stupid priced ones too being shifted between dealers too. Seems folk are now asking anything from 1500 up for projects. I've just started to strip the head of mine to see why it's lost a cylinder. Quote
glanzanut22 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 If I had kept every Vauxhall nova I had ever owned, I could retire tomorrow Quote
DanSR Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) Mental price, 80s/90s car prices have rocketed in the last couple of years but some people do take the piss. Just 5 years ago my mate sold his Fiesta XR2i for £250 had he kept it until now he'd get quite possibly 10x that. Also agree with the post about Novas, a good one these days will cost you a pretty penny. Edited March 1, 2017 by DanSR Quote
Calum122 Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 I love those RC's. How many other cars come factory with a water to air intercooler. It's just mad. Quote

Calum122 Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 Every st205 gt4 but I know what you're saying, way advanced for their time The key word here was OTHER. Genuinely would like to know what other cars came with water to air intercoolers. I think it's common on outboard motors. Quote
5e colin Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 shit for that money you have a fat escort cosworth Quote

I think it's common on outboard motors.Ha ha I don't think there are many actually, especially from that era. I mentioned the st205 because it's a different car. The normal spec 185s didn't so it's not a given that every celica gt4/ 3sgte car has the same set up. I don't think any of the caldinas old or new had them either.

SKINY Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Yea C/S and R/C have the Charge-cooler system same as all the ST205,s. ST215 Caldina is air to air like my GT4We update for those who like them, head off and oil poured in no 4, 2 hours later it's gone so piston will be out this week sometime Quote
Pikey009 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Posted March 5, 2017 Have you got a build thread for it mate I can't remember? Quote
