Gt4 On Ebay

[SMW]

What is the kit and any views on a reasonable price to pay ?

Is it legal to have a KPH speedo in the UK ?

due to the miles i'd say upto £8000 for it , its not 1 of 5000 made as it hasnt got the wrc parts on the engine,that make it a rare wrc version.bodykit looks fairly standard apart from the rear valance , the speedo will most likely be converted to miles an hour

i paid £ 5700 for mine its a 1995 with 67,000 miles on it .

Cheers - how does that work then - the dial is still showing KPH (i.e. goes up to 300) but the needle will point to the MPH ? ?

mmmm i see what you mean , it may just read what it says on the dials but wont go past its top speed of 155 mph on the dials. , new dials are about £ 14

by the way , my motor has kmh dials fitted , but mine only go upto 200 kmh. and when they say 100 i'm doing 100 mph as its been converted

Right cheers I'll take a look at Norwich.

Couple more Q's -

What sort of mpg can you expect from the JDM GT4 ?

What gives the JDM the BHP increase over the UK car ?

Celica is nice but if you can afford the Supra....

uk models were mapped on unleaded at i think 238 bhp , the jap model was mapped on super unleaded producing 255 bhp. i can get a little over 120 miles from £ 20 , more at 56mph and using little or no boost , which is very hard to do.

[SMW]

I think thats about 21 mpg

just noticed the wear on the top of steering wheel , for 30,000 miles i think he's waffling .mines done 67000 and the wheel is unmarked.Also an induction kit and that pathetic strut brace at 64 years old , i think not :eek:also no abs ( big let down )i'd be asking for any jap service paperwork or any service history done in the uk.i got service history from japan with mine from 8,000 kilometers onwards , which is very lucky

its also had the boost levels altered as you can see the blue pipes comming from the turbo and the stock regulator on the bulk head,into the cars insides to a aftermarket pressure gauge.A car like this i prefer to buy one thats standard then you know its not been thrashed all its life, because if and when you buy one, man will you thrash it. that i can promise you.

email recieved from owner.

hi steering wheel is like new dont know about mods certanly none done by my self no service records but jap import papers re milage

seems the guy expected in excess of 6k for it,Yet he was happy to ask me to make him an offer.also the speedo says 30,000 + if this was in japan it would of been clocking up kilometers so say if this guy has done ex ammounts of miles in uk with it , 30,000 kilometers = 18500 miles , big big doubts in my mind now .
