Bit of a feeler thread! '91 Toyota Celica GT4 Wide Body Import - 2ltr Turbo, 4wd Well I have only owned it for about 3 weeks and it now has a full 12 months mot and is looking hard as nails in matt black, with all the minor rust and dents eradicated. But after driving it around today and I can't help but feel its a little bit big for work and I think the fuel economy isn't going to do me any favours so will probably look at changing it in a month or so. The reason I bought it is because it came at the right price and I saw the potential undeneath all the dirt and grime after standing for 5 years!      Willing to swap it for something else smaller both in size and cc!! Readers ride thread here, retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=readersrides&action=display&thread=60767&page=1 |

Hi mate
Yeah the Alfa is a 2.0 TS manual. Its done 78k, got loads of service history, cambelt last changed 10k ago, I have just had a brand new radiator fitted, and a MAF sensor/service last month. Its got 11 months mot and about 2 months tax. It is the sports pack 2 model which means it has skirts and the high level spoiler and the electric recaro seats, red dials etc. Its kind of like an estoril blue colour... Its not really for sale but I have always fancied a GT-Four and yours looks sick in matt black! Not sure about those wheels mind. I can send you some pics if you are interested.

Nice import GT4. No ABS?
I used to get 28 to a best 35mpg out of mine, with a stainless system, and upped boost. Mind you I reckon yours needed Super unleaded to get the best out of it.

Due my a circumstance change - now going to have be a cash sale due to a mortgage - will be a very good price to as will need quick sale - probably be up for sale at the retrorides show.
It is the non abs model and runs so much better using v-power! such a capable car hadnling wise and loads of tuning potenetial.
