This is the GT4 version with the bonnet vents isn't it? I believe they're pretty quick, but I wouldn't be mad on the shape of them though. If it has to be a Toyota, its got to be the Supra ;)

same model but just the bod standard 2.0lt (GT) - not the turbo - i agree the looks aint the best but i saw one that was nicely lowered on 17's and it looked really good. i still want a manual MIVEC FTO though. maybe i should bite the bullet and get a car loan and go get that BMW i've been hankering after (320 convertible)



.... shane waits for the abuse!

sorry ciaran, i got that wrong - i should have said the ST202 - that's the non-turbo (i think). having said that i just quoted for a GT4 - feck all increase in insurance...... why am i paying 3k for a 1.8 when i could be paying 3,070 for a MIVEC or even a GT4 (236bhp)???

Now what would you want to go and buy a beemer ;)
Jap all the way, thats what I say!

You should rip as many toys out of your yoke as you can and then pick up a manual GPX. On that note, after 6 months of owning a GPX Tip, I'm on the look out for a manual GPvR, I will make it to 3 FTOs within the year 8)

Is it really worth changing - is the peformance difference really that much?

Its not performance increases I'm after, it would be nice to have a newer facelift model as well as an LSD. I could cheat and get myself a facelift bumper and version R-spoiler though ;)
