Buying Tips

[Austin_GT4]

Hoping to become a gt4 owner very soon and i'd really value some helpful tips on what to look for when buying one apart from the usuals!!

All help greatly appreciated!!

This goes for the Gen 6 Celica (94-96)

Superstrut suspension! If you hear clunking from the front when going over bumps etc, then its likely the superstrut needs replacing, approx £300 per side just for the parts :!Removed!:

Rear diff mounts can go, again, a clunking, but from the rear, when coming on and off the throttle. Not as expensive at around £75 for the part....

Apart from that and the usual... make sure you aint getting the wrong smoke from the exhaust a little puff of black smoke when you come on boost is normal as these cars have a tendancy to overfuel...

I'm sure to have missed something, but someone will correct me shortly!!

HTH and good choice in the GT4, you wont be dissapointed

Also check the condition of the radiator, light patches and stress cracks are a good sign it's on it's last legs £1-200 quid for a replacement stock rad

nope , you wont find a rad starting from a quid for a st205 . maybe for a tonka toy in woolies.

i'd need a monacle as 1 of my eyes is glass.
