Pikey009 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I'm 'a bit' Toyota mad so I thought i'd show a few of my old cars including one special Scooby (sorry!). So here's where it all began with a lovely white starlet sr! (kind of ironic as i'm trying to come full circle now). Then followed the mr2 GTI-16. Lovely to drive but just a bit of a dodgy colour I guess and back then 'stancing' didn't really exist ha ha. Next up was the love affair outlasting 4 girlfriends and eating an Afganistan tour pay packet . After having a ride in a mates FQ320 I decided turbo power had to be the way. There were far too many Scoobies and Evos knocking around and being a Toyota fan there was only one option... All I can say is that this is still the most brutal best handling car I've ever ever driven with over 400whp on tap what more can I say I just loved it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pikey009 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 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. http://s816.photobucket.com/user/plod09/media/00211.jpg.html'> http://s816.photobucket.com/user/plod09/media/003.jpg.html'> http://s816.photobucket.com/user/plod09/media/005.jpg.html'> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 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. http://s816.photobucket.com/user/plod09/media/002.jpg.html'> http://s816.photobucket.com/user/plod09/media/024.jpg.html'> http://s816.photobucket.com/user/plod09/media/IMG_8089.jpg.html'> Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Banbury Glanza Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Rare as rocking horse shit !!!!! Lovely celica mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 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. http://s816.photobucket.com/user/plod09/media/image.jpg.html'> http://s816.photobucket.com/user/plod09/media/image-1.jpg.html'> http://s816.photobucket.com/user/plod09/media/image-2.jpg.html'> http://s816.photobucket.com/user/plod09/media/image-3.jpg.html'> Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pikey009 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 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.
