Absolutely love it, I didn't like to leave the prelude at the garage, gave her a pat on the bonnet for 3 years faithful service :(

First impressions are absolutely fantastic, loving the engines willingness to pull you forward and the 4wd grips like nothing else.

I've only driven it a little bit (i'm at work now) and I have a DVD MP3 stereo to fit tomorrow so expect a better report then :)

heres another piccy

i pulled a 6.2s 0-60 on my g-meter with 4 adults in the car - gonna try some more tonight with just me.

in a straight line its remarkaly similar, but the power delivery with turbo is so much more effortless - you kinda get pushed forward on a wave of power.
 
I've always loved GT4's that's no exception. Great car! In my opinion it's definitely an upgrade but there you go!

Hope to see more pics and so on soon! Oh and what mods are you planning? ;)
 
currently completely standard 240ish horsepower

mods planned are the usual exhaust / intake / controller which will give approx 300BHP before you need to spend more and more money.

My plans are to keep it relatively civilised thou, so no overly loud bean cans!

I need to take pics for the insurance company's "agreed valuation" nonsense, so ill get it cleaned and polished and take pics tomorrow :D

funnily enough, half the reason I got one is most celicas on the road are the bog standard NA version that people have made look like fours - so its as anonymous as these cars get!
i paid £5000 + prelude (that included service, mot, warranty, cambelt, front suspension, cat1)

Hi there

Rapid cars the GT4's are. Which one have you got m8 as I know some were about 250-260BHP in stock trim what is yours?

Also heard getting extra power cost very little and soon drops 0-60 to low 5s area along with the 4WD and them not been so heavy they shift and handle well. :)
