Yeah i always wanted a carlos (think thats the shape didier oriel whos name i definatley do not know how to spell used to rally aswell, his toyota castrol team was banned one year due to modifying the turbo or summit ) but to be honest they are gettin on a bit now and they aren't as powerful neither i did try and wait for a GT4 WRC but i couldn't wait long enough due to my impatiant nature lol.

I have just sold my 1994 gt4 wrc, What a car i have driven scoobys and evos before and they just dont compare. Great buy mate. Have a look at some volk te37 replica alloys wheels i think inovite make them stunning looking wheels which really set the car off and clear the brake calipers.

Yes!! Lurid coloured bikes are in!

Sorry mate had to dig out a pic of te37 replicas to show you as they excite me alot

Lol they excite me too mate I did get a price for them a few weeks ago but they were a bit pricey and i think they were only copies, i think i have just secured a set of white OZ Cronos wheels with good tyres and i believe they are like rockin horse poop as they are correct offset.

Good stuff they will look sh*t hot mate, Do you have a dump valve fitted if not have you tried it with the standard one off and plug the airbox sound mint.

Im jealous as f*ck now, I am off to buy another one lol

Nice and its a toyota will last for ages my mate has a 1989 corrola 1.3, got it with something like 60k on it one owner from new and it still had all the original stuff on it from when it was new, when he got it a year ago including the original number plates! and he hasnt had a thing go wrong with it aprt from his rr shocks are knackered and his Dad is a toyota mechanic but works at home but in the past has worked for toyota dealers, in fact most of my mates family own toyotas!

Correct me if i wrong but im sure dump valves bugger the turbo and arent worth the hassle in the long run.

Without a dump valve, when the throttle was closed, the build up of boost pressure would be immense, very similar to closing a quickly flowing water tap. This excess of pressure, (which could be over five times the running boost pressure), would put the components of the system under a great strain. It would try to burst the intercooler and pipework. More significantly, it would put a large strain on the turbocharger itself, firstly stalling the compressor shaft, then trying to force the compressor wheel out of the turbo, against its bearings.
So, the dump valve prevents mechanical damage to the intercooler & turbo pipework, prolongs turbocharger life, and prevents excessive turbo - lag that would be caused by the compressor shaft stalling.

I just copied that from another site.

The gt4 st205's all have dump valve's fitted as standard but instead of venting into atmosphere ( ssssccchhh noise ) vent into the airbox which goes back through the intake ( recirc dump valve ) but you can unbolt it fromn the airbox and cover the hole left, and its amazingly loud. It is a sound of much pimpness
