1st pics of Celica GT4 ST205

[jamie86]

Rather tasty looks better in those pics...

Much better than the one with the chavvy spoiler

Hows the interior looking?

Now just to get J222 EVO Numberplate and let a proper driver have a go in it (No not John )

looks like that front bit is about to fall off is it supposed to be like that?

The lower bib is after-market C-sport, so small gap as it sits on top on standard bumper, very un-Toyota like panel gap, in fact I'd say its probably Fiat like now lol (need to be careful what i say as Emma still has Seicento she may read this & of course it is a Fiat Forum)

Interior is standard GT4 affair, you sit very low in the remarkable supportive but uninspiring to look at seats, may get some red Recaro Speeds (same as integrale, integra Type R etc) as these were offered as an optional extra and there's something about white cars and red seats.

That number plate not available, but J222 WRC is :chin:

It's your blooming fault I travelled half way across country and spent 10hours away from home getting it, if only you had never mentioned them to me I would have never considered one :devil:

No, its a black rubber seal that runs along the trailing edge of bumper leading edge of bonnet, probably on any other colour but white its not as noticeable.

ah i see, so supposed to be like that then

it looks mint, in the best colour, with perfect wheels, i love it.

i know we shouldnt tar the st205 with the same 'soft grand tourer' brush as the rest of the celica range, but i will anyway, and i wonder what you plan to do to turn it into a sports coupe?

 

[arc]

ST205 just refers to the shape, but being a GT4 it's already 4wd, and a 2.0 turbo.. which is nice and sets it apart from the rest of the range.

 

[jug]

i know, but the st205 brigade alway say it was the best celica and the least grand touring of them all, personally i think the st185 was closer to a sports coupe, but who am i to argue with the celica massive. at least we all agree the celica died with the zzt230.

i prefer the st205 over the others purely for how it looks!
