Hi guys and girls!
Maybe somebody remembers me and my blue ex-ST185 (unfortunately many pics are lost on imageshack - don't want pay them! :shoots: )


















After almost 10 years and owning different cars, mostly turbo-Subaru's, I'm back into GT-Four game 8)

Now I own black MY'96 ST205 (from Switzerland, one owner in 21 years!)

Here's my baby :D

Thank you, guys! I was monitoring market of LHD ST205's for some time, prices went up in recent years... But with certain luck it's still possible to get one for reasonable money :smokes:

Corey, thanks! Your car is also lovely and those OZ wheels are stunning :)


btw, my OZ's are also on the way to me (they are 7x16 ET30, I'll use them as winter setup)

I was in Lithuania for short vacations - I went through the very first MOT and registered my ST205 :smokes:

It needs some love and care, but what a great ride it is!



you can see my dad's Land Cruiser - it's also from 1996 :p


the very first mod from to my GT-Four (it came from Bulgaria)



and test-fitted my new summer wheels (they are forged 7.5x17 ET30 from Russia)

So you've got two pairs of wheels that have the same specs and appearance but are different makes?
The first set - classic/old-school "16 OZ Crono's for winter, the second - brand new "17 forged wheels (called Slik L-703) made by order in Russia for summer

I just like simple 5-spoked wheels, what can I do? :D

new portion of old-school wheels... I just couldn't resist these beauties :D (it seems they were dedicated to GT-Four)

8x16 ET38 CB 54,1




7x16 ET35 CB 54,1




I do hope they clear front brakes :twisted:

So many wheels to choose from! which ones will you be using?

One set for hard winter (OZ Crono 7x16 ET30 + soft-rubber Nokian's 205/55-16), one for autumn/spring transition season (6-spoke Speedline 7x16 ET35 + hard-rubber Nokian's 205/55-16), the third set for summer (5-spoke forged Sliks 7,5x17 ET30 + Firestone SZ90 225/45-17)

The 4th set of 6-spoke OEM wheels + 225/45-16 Yokohama semi-sliks for track days

I must be totally crazy/retarted but I recently also have bought some nice 6-spoke 8x18 ET38 wheels (GTZ Corse) that I'm planing to use for "show-off" during some meets, etc. :crazy:

Very nice! :)
I didn't know they make LHD st205's :D ..... just the other day I was showing a st205 to my friend at work and he told me I would have to convert it to LHD if I wanted to register it so I can drive it (California thing) and my hopes of owning one went down the crapper.
Now I'm happy again

wheels for autumn / spring (Speedline 7x16 ET35 + 205/55-16 Nokian WR A3)





installed used 2,5" exhaust from UK (Mongoose / Scorpion?)





I've also installed de-cat from BLITZ






I like the new sound of my ST205 (not too loud)
But I forgot how is difficult to work on this car... :oops:
