Matt T Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 ST185 or ST205? My ex had a ST185, not a bad car, dont think it was running right though as it should have been quicker imo. ST185 is around 200 bhp iirc, the ST205 is 240 bhp. I would think they are harder to tune than a 2JZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu_Fraser Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I had an ST205, easy enough to get to 300bhp, with decat/downpipe, exhaust, induction and boost to 1.2 bar. Make sure your fuelling is spot on coz pistons can be a bit on the weak side. I blew my piston ringlands at 1.2bar. Also make sure you buy one that has had the suspension sorted at about 60k miles coz the lower arms and figure of 8 joints are a weak point. Apart from that, there a fantastic car and canny quick with bpu mods, mine felt quiker than my sup before i went BPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I've currently got a ST185 and it is a good car. Toyota build quality and reliability with a strong engine. I've tweaked mine upto 220bhp area with a simple relief valve and de-cat. Good thing with these older ST185's is that you don't need a CAT in place for an MOT. With camber adjusted at the front to give more -ve, the handling is transformed into a really direct and eaily 'chuckable' car. Mine is currently for sale funnily enough..... asking price is only £2800, as I'm looking to buy a ST205 to go stage rallying in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was you parked down Oxford Street in the Millfield\New England area of Peterborough. I popped to the KFC however you had gone by my return. If you fancy a blast in the GT-Four, give us a shout. I have no idea what BHP i have however its a good bit more than stock. I have a K&N Panel, Decat, Blitz Nur Spec R, GReddy Boost Controller and a few other enhancements in Water Injection, HKS BOV, Uprated wastegate actuator. I currently run approx 16 - 17psi. IMO they are great cars and very handy in the corners and in the wet. Mine is a daily driver and does me well. Regards Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
