Redswan's 1990 Celica GT4 RC

So, after 6 long years I couldn't fight the urge any more. The perfect deal on a great Alltrac came up and I jumped on it. I picked up this beautifully maintained car with only 122k miles on it. I set out with completing the restoration where the previous owner let off and decided to do another RC conversion while trying to maintain it as a reliable mostly stock daily driver. Since then I have swapped in a JDM RC Engine and Tranny. I bought a ViS RC/CS hood, JDM corner lights. I still had a RC badge set and some other HKS parts lying around all these years. I also picked up an RC intercooler here on the board and paired it with a bosch cobra water pump and a front mount W2A heat exchanger. I purchased a Momo 4 spoke steering wheel like the ones in the RC and a Momo Anatomic leather shift knob. The car runs almost perfect and looks pretty good.

Awesome car I don't think a have ever seen more than a couple of Alltracs here in the south tons of MR2 turbos but Alltracs seem really rare here.

absolutely beautiful, one of my favs, i would love to have one of these!

New fog lights! Some of you might recognize these.

I got one of these Cusco lower braces which stiffened the suspension quite a bit.

It might also looks like a nice spot to mount up a skid plate

So...I bought this today. I can't wait to install it!

Very cool. I have had my GT4 since 2003 and still love driving it.

I remember you from alltrac.net! I have been a celica enthusiast since 2000.

This is my old gt4 from back in the day

So I swapped out the Rear differential from my ST185 with the ST205 torsen one over lunch today. It runs like a champ.

I even put together a youtube video on it:

Well I got my new Tein coilovers. I did the prep work the night before so that they were easy to do the next day.

Thanks to Josh for making this such a smooth and professional transaction.

Nice! I like seeing these rare homologation cars still kicking around. I had a Mazda 323 GTX years ago. I loved surprising WRX and Quattro drivers with it in the snow.
