right, been floating about this forum for a few years now, dont post much and when i do its because im being an idiot!! i picked up my 93 jdm gt4 around 4 years ago, completely stock apart from a hks filter and a set of horrible 18 inch rims
sorry for the quatity, there pretty much all fone pics :doh:
the first thing i did was make a photoshop up of how i wanted it to look lol
when i first had it i was VERY disapointed with the performance, couldnt pull on a 3sge fwd uk celica!! so i got a boost gauge and mbc.
the gauge read 3psi!!! so i turned the boost up with the mbc and could only get it to 4psi!
a bit of reading and silly questions on here and it was diagnosed as a blocked cat, so i ordered a xspower dp.
installing it was the biggest job i had ever done on a car and took me the best part of a day! on the test drive i hit fuel cut 8)
over the next year or so i got a motoria 3 inch exhaust, managed to swap the shitty wheels for some rough 16inch oz chronos, a ct20b and the top part of a CS chargecooler. i used a afco upgraded chargecooler rad for a mustang svt cobra for the heat exchanger and a blitz ss bov (well two, both broke haha)
a few months after running just under a bar of boost the HG gave up, typically i blamed everything else, the thermostat wasnt too healthy and the rad blew up pressure testing it!! havent got many pics from the HG job, typical stuff though, fitted it with a cometic 1.4mm gasket
the mess lol
some where around this time i got into a little crash, nice dent in front wing and very minor damage to the bumper, the perfect time to get a CS bumper!! sadly it was my first attempt at painting car parts so it went a bit wrong, the wing was and still is good, but the bumper started flacking a few months after
a few months later someone else decided to drive into the side of it!!
not looking to good :doh:
took this as a good time to redo the crappy paint on the bumper and give the chronos a mild referb
