1992 Celica GT4 Turbo AWD RC

[CMS-GT4]

Here is my 1992 Celica Alltrac. Its powered bt a 3sgte and has awd. I have installed the JDM rally hood and bumper, and stronger rally gear box.

Coldiron Motor Sport GT4 (http://www.coldirondesign.com/CMS/cms_home.htm)

Some of the mod list, on the site, is incomplete. I no longer have the H20 injection wta intercooler. And cause of this I am having a few performance faults. I am still waiting on my exaust system, and a few other items I ordered a while ago.

The next mods are to upgrade the worn struts with some adj. coilovers, and install a front mount. After that I am installing my exaust, and removing the fuel/ boost cuts, and then doing a few "radioshack" performance mods. Hopefullt I'll be adding the strut bars too. With those upgrades, I should be a little ove a G on the skidpad. ie... stock is .84G, with my worn supsension its varible... (probally between .60 - . 73 G) Then I have some wieght reduction to do. I would like to knock off at least 200lbs. Weights 3350lbs stock.

Nice car! :)
I noticed you went to the European Pro Rally School.
You may have already seen this video. (edited by Randy Zimmer.)
It's one of my favorite rally videos of all time!
It's of the 2001 World Rally Championships (http://www.randyzimmer.com/video/music_videos/wrc-high.wmv) set to the music of Linkin Park. It may take a few seconds to download but it's totally worth it!
Enjoy! :)

Not a fan of LP well at least not since they got way too much radio play. I saw part of the video. The FIA used to have some pretty good techno for their broadcast, but ever since rally started getting popular with the masses they sorta converted over a little. They even have american reporters now. There was rumor that the FIA was going to host an event in chatty but I havnt heard much about it since. Lohan mentioned to me about a rally cross down there, I think I am going to try that out a bit. I think I am going to upgrade my struts first though.

We are posting our upcoming mods in the knoxvegas section so I figured I might as well put them here too.

So here is my mod lists for my GT4/

Within the next few months:

Install sard racing exaust and racing cats.
Install XS engineering front mount intercooler.
Relocate battery, and move custom made air box into location.
Tein strut plates and adj coilovers
Whiteline "larger rear sway bar" strut bars, and bushings.
Wheel spacers
Remove factory restrictors: wastegate, fuel cut, boost cut, tvis pressure switch, and other "free" hp mods.
Make boost controller
Install guages: boost, temp, air fuel
Greddy electronic fuel control system.
Carbon fiber hood
Better tires
Rebuild rally gear box, install lower final drive
Shifter bushing (home made short shifter)
TRD head gasket
Remove about 200lbs from the 3350lb rally beast
Remold front plate bracket

Next year:
Install a 3rd or 4th gen (3sgte) came factory with 260hp without restictors and a few boost adj. will run over 300, i'll be
placing the old engine in an AE 86 drift machine.
Supra fuel pump.
Lotek Fuel management
activate anti-lag
Aftermarket clutch
TRD engine mounts
Flare Front fenders to match factory rear fenders or install a wide body kit all around.
OZ cronos evolution lightweight wheels. 8" wide, if just flared front fenders 10" or 12" wide if, wide body kit.
13" rotors 6pot caliper racing brakes and steel braided lines.
Remove about 100-250 more lbs.
Brace and tighten substructure for a more rigid chasis.
Install Front, center and rear LSD.
Racing seats and a few otehr ods and ends.

When its done, I should have a 3,00lb monster that will hold well over a G on the skidpad, and be as quick as I could need.
With the 3rd gen engine stock it brought the late 90's gt4 0-60 in 6.5 seconds. Add about 150hp, 300 less lbs, and a lower gear ratio I should see some pretty good times.
I can hardly wait. I so love to drive this car. I loved to drive it more when the parts were less worn.

I knew about the scca one. I am sorta interested in that one. I wouldnt mind keeping my car in specs so I can run in that, if I ever plan to get back into rally. I think for noew I am just going to autocross, and do the rallycross. At least till the new paint job, then I guess I will need to stay away from the TN red clay. It stains paint more than you would think. I found that out the hard way.

PHAT ride man!!! I love it.

[4MoreLiters]

YES..another 5th gen...I have an ST...which is why I'm working on a second car, where this name came from, the car's an older TA...with...Four more liters :-)

[4MoreLiters]

and.... I don't know if you added it or if it's stock, but where oh where did you get that beautiful RC bumper? I'm looking for a good price on one because it's stock, yet agressive

[CMS-GT4]

The whole car is pretty much stock. The bumper and hood are factory option in the UK and japan. THe origional hood was just a scoop to ram air into the intercooler. I ordered them from japan. I am actully probally going to start selling a carbon fiber version of the hood, and perhaps the bumper as well.

It looks as long as I stay in scca, I wont be able to do the lsd mods I wanted to, no matter with a good supsension I can still hold the road pretty well.

Here is a pic of me in my first autocross. If you look close enough you can see that the corner wheel is off the ground. Can't wait to get my new suspension and get rid of that body roll.

Once I start restoring the gt4 this summer, I should have plenty of more pics, and videos on my site.
