New Ride! (It had a defect notice from the PO for overly bald tyres. We have new ones put on now and it goes for inspection next weekend. Fixing it with my dad who has been a mechanic for 25 years.) 1989 JDM Celica GT-Four.   Also my car for the past year and the one that gave me the car bug, a 90 Corolla Seca SX. (Not my photo but it looks almost like this)

 Cheap and quick paint job on the GT4's wheels over the weekend, no more flaky silver paint job from the PO. Maybe doing another coat or two next weekend. Next step is body paint : either a do-over on the white or taking it back to the original red. Really can't decide.

Thanks all!  Another photo from the slightly less good side, where the PO must have reverse swiped a building pillar on the left side. Will be getting this and some little dents elsewhere fixed when it gets a paint job. Other than that it's a stock '89 JDM model (ceramic turbo and interior luxuries!), is at 149000 kms and is fan-loving-tastic.  I also installed a hood-scoop ornament.

I still haven't properly seen the paint in direct sunlight, but it has a pretty good amount of pearl in the paint.

track day bro! posted:That body with the ST205 drivetrain would be my ideal rally rep. I can't even remember the last time I saw a 205 on the road let alone a 185, looks sooo good 😍😍😍👍💯 I've seen a fair few 185s here over the past few years but still no 205s, even at car shows / fan events. I think only 77 ST205s were sold in Australia, out of 2500 worldwide, although Japanese imports like mine might help the numbers a little bit. Thanks!

From Australian UV-faded Toyota Super Red to  white Pearl white at least! I sometimes feel a tinge of regret at not going for a dark green or metallic blue or candy red but I like how it looks in white.

SlimManFat posted:Hey ST185 friend! Beautiful car! White looks great on these cars. What year is yours? Hey thanks! Going by the VIN plate this was one of the first 1000, produced in ~November 1989. I just got the car back last night, from having preventative maintenance done on the timing belt, water pump, cam/other seals, and coolant. It had a very slow oil leak from somewhere which is finally fixed. The seals apparently disintegrated and split as soon as the mechanic took it apart, I guess they were almost 30 year old at this point. Next up is getting the gearbox synchros replaced! Still drives nicely but i've gotta baby it into second gear. What's yours? I like the black but couldn't stop thinking of all the duuuuuuust Dude Sweet fucked around with this message at 11:52 on Sep 6, 2018 |
