4WD or a Prerunner? I'm not entirely sure what the trim levels of the Taco are anymore.

Jeesh, surprised that thing was even available. Those are about as rare as they come and most of the people who buy them don't let them go easily.

I was surprised too. I did a nationwide search for this spec and was thinking I’d have to settle with an automatic. This popped up at a carmax in Maine,had it shipped to my local carmax, test drove it, and snatched it up immediately. Only found like 3 other 4wd trucks in this spec nationwide and most were on the west coast.

I like how far the build came over the years. From pessimists (myself included) gawking at the mere idea of a Sedan-turned-racer to a full blown racecar with incredible pace. 👍

Yeah and I’m still getting surprised along the way. I mean it’s insane how this went from a very modest sedan to a car that can lap around the same pace as a modified C8. It’s really cool that it’s starting to get some recognition too, I mean if you would have told me a few years ago that Hoonigan would feature my car I wouldn’t believe you.I like how far the build came over the years.

I kept it a secret from most of my social/family circles, but today I finally got to take off the wraps and took home my first “fun” car, the spoils of all my grinding and research from the last ~18 months. I’m now a proud owner of a 1994 Toyota Celica GT4 WRC, with only 39k miles!
It’s also my first manual, the ~100 mile journey home started getting spooky as I hit Seattle, I’m glad I watched hours upon hours of tutorials going into it.

Our cheap runaround Seat Ibiza lost power steering and started to momentarily cut-out going uphill, so losses were cut and we snapped up this Puma in its place.
The desirable 1.7 Zetec on 76,000 miles and a lovely Pacific Green Metallic with leather interior, Quick Clear front screen and A/C. Needs a bit of TLC, but it was only £675 with an MoT until April. Not seen another one since I test drove it last week, either.

Congrats on the Celica! I remember when these originally appeared on the rally stages... I was never a Celica fan (in WRC my favorites were the Deltas, the Imprezas and the Escorts) but appreciate them - now, all you need to do is putting on a nice Castrol livery to make it complete, plus a new set of rims to go with the livery
These Pumas are awesome looking. If we would have stayed longer in Germany, we would've bought one for my wife (complementing my Focus ST).

Well, I lied.... somewhat. The charger R/T ended up being WAY out of my price range once taxes and warranties were all included in the final price tag (over $70K), so I had to compromise with a local 2016 SXT AWD, which costed less than half the price. Probably for the best considering that Canada isn't called called the great white north for nothing.
Even so, aside from trunk space, the Charger is an upgrade from the 2003 Golf in every way: performance, fuel capacity, interior features, styling, and reliability. Especially reliability, considering the Golf ended up dying just as I exited the highway and pulled into the dealer lot.
The only catch with the Charger so far is getting used to the size difference... that, and constantly fighting the fact of having a black car, with a workplace that only offers a dusty gravel parking lot. Otherwise the Charger's been great so far, and I've got a few ideas for it going forward. But until I finish paying it off next year, it'll only be Nickle & dime purchases.

See I’m tempted, but there’s another guy near me who also has (among many many other cool JDM and homologation/rally cars) an ST205 all modded and wrapped in the Castrol spec, and he even rallied it up until recently when he found out how fast the super strut goes and how much it costs to replace. So he got a starlet to actually race and beat on and keeps the ST205 as a show car.
So since the rally spec has been done I kinda want to do my own thing and keep it at a street aesthetic and highlight that as best I can. The super strut didn’t even get used in the actual rally car due to durability, so the road spec GT4’s really are unique vehicles and I personally think it’d be really cool to maximize what it is and can be as a road car. I have some wheels and spats in mind, but I just road tripped Seattle to Orange County for a much needed vacation and it was already turning heads in it’s current spec.
Unfortunately I blew a tire 12+ hours in, 350 miles from my destination, middle of nowhere, took 5-6 hours for a tow to find me and help me with my spare, and then limp 11 miles to a tire shop.
I was supposed to be arriving at OC cars and coffee this past Saturday morning to surprise my dad, but I had to settle with sneaking into his driveway that evening and doing the meet the next weekend.
I spent over 24 hours in the car non-stop, but the only exhausting part was the heat and lack of sleep. The car has been an absolute dream (aside from the left rear tire) and has done exactly what I hoped it would do for me and more.
I’ll be at South OC Cars and Coffee this Saturday and probably next Saturday if any other GTP’ers in the area want to say Hi.
