I blame Jackie Chan for the Evo and Didier Auriol for the Celica. Thank you

How does a Paj Evo drive in real life?

Man that Pajero is a beauty. I really hope one day when I have a garage I can grab one to restore and daily drive.

I am envious of you. I am supremely happy with my GR WRX, and resigned to know Iโ€™ll never own an R32โ€ฆ but the ST205 is incredibly beautiful!

Yours looks so good! And that Pajero is chefโ€™s kiss!

I have a GR STI and it finally had a catastrophic failure. There was a short in the wiring harness and it threw 19 trouble codes. Not even exaggerating. I dumped all my money into flight training the last 5 years hoping oil changes and air filters would carry me to the airlines. Didn't quite make it lol.

So I ended up pulling the motor to fix every little gremlin I'd neglected over the years. New shocks/struts, clutch, bushings, fixed weeping valve cover gaskets and a bunch of other odds and ends. A 450 dualsport dirtbike has been my ride to work for months ๐Ÿ˜‚

How is the Celica to drive?

Iโ€™ve got a Renault R5T2 and thought adding a Group A car would be fun.

I imagine parts availability is pretty robust?

u/mypoptartisevil 5h ago

Sheโ€™s a dream to drive with all the updates and upgrades to Gravel coilovers and urethane everywhere. Parts are very easy to source all over and specialty houses like GTfourplay UK

Eyy GT4 love!

I have a 205 swapped 165 as my winter car that I blew up last winter. I almost got my hands on a silver 205 at one point but it sold before I could get up to Canada and buy it.

My race car is a twin charged MR2 I built that's inspired by an RS200 and Delta S4
