GT-Four in USA?

[Jhtunner]

I no that the USA didnt have the Celica GT-four,but have any one try to convert there 94-99 to a GT-Four?

[nialusa]

Hundreds of people have probably atempted it, not many succeed. there is just too much work invloved.

[Jhtunner]

what with be the major things that need to be mod ?

[nialusa]

Pretty much the entire car, the list is huge and has been covered many times before, if you search about a bit you`ll come across what you want to know without much problem.

is it even fast enough to be worth converting? i know about the old gt4's but i know nothing about the times the newer ones ran.

[nialusa]

Well with a few easy mods I can get 0-60 in about 5.5 secs if not quicker and the quater mile in around 13.5 secs give or take 0.5 secs (dont know the exact time as I havnt done an acurately timed run in a while) I have had it over 140mph so far (On an open runway of course) But with all the changes you have to make to get the st205 engine legal in the states it will be slower.

yes the GT4 was released to the usa
how do i know you may ask, becuase i have one

the thing is that they changed the name of the car to the celica alltrac turbo

the list is mostly parts from the alltrac, no i highly doubt that the cost of the conversion is worth it as it most likely won't be etremely fast, i think that you would be better off just getting the 3S-GTE engine and using the money from the conversion to hook it up, add a lsd to the front, good clutch, and get some suspension mod.s

and about trying to find one you may be able too, but it would also be quite the hassle as according to some sites and research they only produced about 1000 to 1500 of them i believe, they stopped making them in 1993

they never released the Celica GT-4 (st205) in america...but they did release the Celica Alltrac (st165-185) here...we never got the 6th gen alltrac (USA)
