New to the forums. The name's Dylan. Just picked up my SX-R Celica a few weeks ago and loving every minute of it. Original plans were for a Supra SZ-R but decided to save the money for the future and pick up a TT one day.

Just FYI, I live in Melbourne, Australia, so if there's anyone else on here around the area, give me a shout!

Got a few future plans for this baby. It's in need for the tyres to be replaced, so I'm outfitting 17" X 8" rims in the front and slightly wider in the back (even though there's not much need for it). The car currently has 185,000k's on it so my family friend who converts new age Mustang's to right hand drive has sourced me a GT4 engine + suspension + brakes + transmission so that will be undertaken at some point next year.

Also planning on throwing on a beautiful TRD rear wing

Anyway, just wanted to say hi to the community and introduce myself!

welcome man

Can we see some pics of ur car?

also how much did you get the GT-4 stuff for?

sure once i work out how to post pics....

GT-4 parts cost me nothing. I'm just paying for labor. The GT-4 engine has about 66,000k's on it.

yeah so... how do i post pics? haha can't seem to find it.

Really, your not paying a cent for Gt4 engine, brakes, transmission & suspension!!!

How?!??!

To post pics you gotta use a photobucket account or something similar, then use the img code, just copy and paste it.

WOW! you are lucky! wish i could have that for free hahahaha. to put up pictures just go to photobucket.com or some imagesite and make and account there. can't wait to see them.

welcome!

and AWESOME deal that your getting!

I'd of course say go for a genuine ST205...but since you're getting everything for free and I assume have a means to do the conversion, I say go for it and be unique.

As far as picture hosting goes, you can host without an account at imageshack.com, or sign up at photobucket. I recommend the latter.

Welcome man!

I personally use photobucket.com..ive never had any problems,then u post the IMG code into your post and your picture is there!looks like you have so great plans.cant wait to see

thanks guys! yeah i feel pretty damn lucky with all the GT4 stuff. But we've paid him enough in the past as he converted out GT500 SuperSnake to right hand drive a year ago haha. Hopefully the car becomes a beast by the end of it. Not to sure if I really want the suspension and brakes though.. thinking I might upgrade to something aftermarket.

The only disappointment I have with this car is the fact that it's FWD. Would have much prefered RWD or AWD but considering I only paid $7500 AUS for it, I think I got a bargain.

So glad I finally found a forum dedicated for the st204r celica

yeah thats a pretty good price, i pain $9200 a year ago and the window tint was bad and it had some sun damage, so i would say you got a great deal

Very clean car, looks nice.

Oh and your not limited to FWD, with the GT-4 Transmission you can change it to AWD, but you need the rear cradle and other stuff

yeah i was thinking that too... but the thing is this is my first and only car so i can't keep it in the shop for a long time.

looks mint!!!

Looks very tidy dude. Welcome from across the Ditch!

thanks Quidam! how's it over there in Australia's 9th state? lol

What a beauty. Great car dude! Absolutely love it.

I wish you the best of luck on that conversion to a 3sge (hopefully a 3sgte ).

Another one from Aus.
lol welcome !

Welcome Mate
She looks beautiful!
Nice steering wheel.
Not many 6gc with them
Looks like yours was a spec'd up SX-R,
just missing the side skirt.

Nice and clean car champ and should go off with 3s.
