bought this at the weekend,

Genuine 1994 WRC model, didnt know that when i bought it or the guy selling didnt know it:d They came with deactivated antilag setup and water spray intercooler.

Nice original car, std exhaust, radio etc. Good body work and paint and spotless interior. Needs tested but runs and drives like a dream and needs very little for the test.

Might drive it for a while or sell it on if i get a turn on it

Lovely looking car.

 

The front grill was a massive improvement over the standard front, I always thought the Supra would benefit from something similar.

 

Cheers, the front of the gt4 was so much better looking than the st models.

 

Lovely example you've got there :thumbs:

 

Worth having a look at the suspension bushes before you decide what to do with it, they're very expensive to replace.

 

Thanks. She needs the rear diff mount fixed, a very common fault but found a couple of gt4 wed sites showing how to repair and uprate them with polyurethane resin as for any other bushes i know where there are a few in breaker yards and have a mate who is a gt4 finatic and can help me get bits at the right price.

 

these go well, had a go at one in my old TT, was very suprised, they go very well, the wrc version it was to. more bhp than standard gt4 are they not

 

As far as i can tell what i have read up on them the wrc was the same bhp as the normal one, it had the extra bits for homologation of the rally cars but they do have a different turbo and are a bit lighter, mine doesn't even have abs.

The diff mount is easy enough to do, I destroyed my mounts and in the process murdered my rear diff, we opened it up and it was full os smooth cogs and lots of metal lol

 

Anyways it's a great car get her cleaned up

 

lol cheers darragh

well fixed the diff mount today with a very good and cost effective way i found on the gt4 forums.

i'll give you a quick run through

Remove the mount and mark on some paper the outline and where holes in the middle should be, then cut away the old torn rubber bit and give it a good cleaning, then using the drawing that you done line up where the middle metal piece should be in the middle of the outer frame, then tape up one side like so.

then mix some polyurethane resin, pour it in and when it sets you left with this
