Car Dilemma

[TIMELESS]

GT-Four went on a trip to the Dastek dyno at a tuning company nearby. I'm now deaf :)

 

220bhp @ 6,386rpm / 171awhp @ 6,303rpm

190lbft @ 5,152rpm

 

Lower than I expected, but I didn't take into account the age (16 years old) and mileage (just under 170,000). Still a decent figure and a good base to start tuning! And it still pulls like a train! 0-60 in 6 seconds (max) :D

 

Some serious cars there.. 5 Evos, a Skyline GTR, 2 Civic Type Rs, a Starlet Glanza V (turbo) and us in the GT-Four WRC :lol:

Yay! The super rare OZ Racing wheels that came as standard on the super rare WRC model that we have...... are going to be fixed up and painted next week!

 

Next up, tuning! And maybe someday a proper rebuild for 300-400hp.. :)

I swear to god this thread as called "Cow Dilemma."

Rebuilding a car is fun, but it is much more expensive than you think in the first place.

almost anyone I know who started a rebuild project, found out that he spent x3 than he planed.

+ it takes a lot of time, if that is your daily drive, do not rebuild, buy another car and in your spare time, rebuild the Celica.

That's probably true. But I imagine it would be worth it since she's upto 174,000 miles now :)

 

We're actually looking at a Lexus now. So if we were to get that the GT-Four could be rebuilt sometime while it's still off the road and we wouldn't have to worry. Whether either will happen or not, I don't know, but we would like to go see this Lexus :D
