bigstring Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Was this not a club celica or just look like one on here? The engine was rebuilt by Willenhall Engines, it is built with forge parts and can handle upto 400bhp, i dont know what pistons or conrods were used or what cams it has in it, i have changed most of the water hoses with samco hoses fitted a new intercooler and pipes, a twin fan setup on the rad with adjustable thermosat, it has an alluminium rad, the ac system has been removed to save weight and engine bay space, it has a full stainless steel japspeed exhaust which sounds very nice, toad alarm, there are a few problems with the car the main one being that the turbo needs rebuilding as the bearing has gone and it is smoking and burning oil through the exhaust, i dont think this is the standard turbo because it shoulg have ct26 on the turbo but instead it jus has toyota so all i can think is the compressor is off another toyota turbo car. the left rear wheel abs sensor has broken i dont no how or why it just did it one day and what ever is inside the which i think is aload of fine cooper wire, is chaffing inbetween the driveshaft and hub so makes a slight grinding noise and no its not the bearing iv chcked that. the other problem is when you come off the gas, the engine feels like its starved of air and when you change gearthe same thing happens and the car judders but doesnt do it if your smooth only when your rough and giving it stick, the only thing i can think it is, is the dump valve being too big and letting out too much air or there is too much vaccum either way its not major and shuold be a quick and easy fix but i just dont have the time and need the money. the paint is inn ok condition there are a few stone chips that have been touched up with the wrong shade of white and there is a dent on the sill from a jack, the alloys are peeling very bad too. i have a fuel cut defencer aswell for it and the milage is unknow as when i got it the previous owner had changed the speedo because it wasnt working and i changed it again because it still wasnt working but its all fine now. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/celica-gt4-st185-/120804117241?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1c207c8af9 Edited November 2, 2011 by bigstring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
