Hey! I know I haven't been active on here for a while mainly cuz I can't/don't drive my celi anymore but thought I would post this on here.

Someone local to me recently picked up a gt4!!! I'm gonna try to talk to him to see what he had to go through to do it.

Was about to say it's probably just a conversion.

They did a good job on it though, gotta give them credit!

well since i took the pictures i ll post some about it! haha the color is the gunmetal on the ISF I believe. Not sure on the name of the paint code. He bought the GT4 in Japan, had it cut in half and sent over. While here he purchased a USDM Shell and totally stripped it. Then he changed out the rear floor pan and moved everything over. In essence its a GT4 with us vins. The only usdm parts are the shell and some of the mounting parts on the rear. Once he joins officially on the site im sure he will make a build thread and give everyone more info!

ha he just finished it! I can't imagine he'd wanna sell it already. I think he has like 24k into the thing with all the shipping etc costs.

18's and staggered. I guess he looked it up and his set up with the staggered fit works with the awd.

I know canada has gt-4's i wonder what would need to be done to have it so it could be allowed in the US. Like what about them is illegal in the US?

this car looks familiar, would it happen to be the same one as this?







always wondered what happened with that build. looks like its made it into good hands.
I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
