tdwindustries Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Well Adam almost sold his car so I have garaged mine until he sells his. Consequently I have now upgraded (?) to my brothers old Celica GT4, which is a bit of an animal!Its got 238bhp, goes bonkers when the turbo kicks in and goes round bends like its meant to. Bit of a culture shock from the Lupo. Its amazing how different cars car feel, even at 14 years old the GT4 still feels rock solid and expensive style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> It also drinks petrol, but then it does fly if you push it. So, at the moment, I havent missed the Lupo - but saying goodbye even for a few days was a bit odd, I probably wont drive it again..... hmmmmmmmm style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />ah well, time to move on!Morning everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 My friends dad had an imported GT4 and it was ridiculously fast out of the corners, I remeber getting a lift in it once and he was totally showing off.He came off a tight sliproad doing a 4 wheel drift and tanked past everything on the dual carrigeway as if it was standing still. I'm not sure what power his was running but I think it was a bit more than 240BHP.p.s. Tim, isn't that an Airfix model or RC celica in your sig?

tdwindustries Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 (shhhhh... yes it is)Yes they seem to range from 205 BHP through to 420 BHP depending on tuning level. 240 seems enough for me now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
