hi i am John from Blyth Northumberland i recently had my celica st205 wrote off just before Christmas. I am on the hunt for a new toy and came across this that i really like and its something that gets the approval off the other half as she didnt want me getting another gt4.... As its quite far from me i was just wondering if anyone knows anything about this car or maybe the owner is on here?? its a bit far to just pop down and view any help is greatfully appreciated

Love the advert, full of BS but...

What it wont have...

VF25 turbo
STI quick rack (only v-ltds have these at this age)
Both an R160 and R180 diff
Closed deck block unless its had a new engine
308bhp at 1 bar.... hmmmmm
Someone has facelifted the front end, for what reason?
Not sure about the seats....

It could have been an interesting car to go and see, not that far from me!

yeah theres something not right with the top car
and as for the bottom one i would be asking how the power figures came about and has been done to the enigne etc

 

Yup the bottom one is a version 4 v-ltd, very cheap tbh, I wouldnt sell my normal v5 for less than 7k (though its got 55k less on the clock ) and the bhp, it would require a remap and an after market ecu to map to get those figures as the standard ecu cant be mapped and wouldnt push those figures without issues.
A note is that a good v4 v ltd would be pushing 5-5.5k with that mileage.
