Engine: 3S-GE WITH RECONDITIONED YAMAHA HEAD Exhaust: EXTRACTORS TO 2.5" PIPE TO HOTDOG TO MUFFLER AND 4" TIP Suspension: STOCK WITH SUPER LOW KING SPRINGS Wheels: ORIGINAL WHITE LIGHTNING Modifications: RANDOM SHIFT BOOT AND GEAR KNOB Stereo Audio / Visual: POS HEADUNIT, ORIGINAL SPEAKERS Estimated Power: 120KW It's an amazing story on how i got this beauty!! i was with at the car auctions, just checking out the cars they had there...and out of no where i hear this beast purring from the distance i snap my neck to see what it could be and all i got glimpse of was the last centimeter of the "WHITE LIGHTNING" decal, and being a previous owner of a 88 CELICA ST162 and my dream car being the 88 CELICA GT4 ST165, i knew how rare a white lightning is!! and i couldnt believe my eyes so i sprinted to it like a kid in a candy store i didnt know what to do what to look at first my heart was pounding out of my chest, at first i thought it was in the auction, then to my excitement, the driver told me it was his!! i was looking around her and she was flawless to my eyes and when i asked him about her he tells me something i would only dream of.... shes for sale!!... at that second i thought "i need her" as much as money is a massive problem... i didnt think of it!! and while still looking at her i notice something i couldnt believe shes only done 165000kms, i desired her even more!! as he continued to told me how he completly reconditioned the head, everything is working and theres no rust at all!! I asked him "so how much do you want??" "$2000" he replied, after taking her from a test drive i noticed she needed a clutch and regasing or TX valve or both!! we came a conclusion of $1600 at that night i went to his house to give him a deposit and a week later i picked her up, every morning i wake up and cant believe i own a white lighting its a dream come true!! AND WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, HERE SHE IS...
Nice find I need to see some close-up pics of those side decals. Pay attention to the alternator harness, the head holder is missing and you could have a fire with the wires lying on the exhaust. I chopped down a ST18x holder to solve this problem. GT4 alternator cooler helps cool the alternator and the exhaust wrap keeps temps down and helps prevent fires
please keep this car as stock as possible! no obvious mods like your old 162 on this rare beast! great find, i wish i could get a celica, let alone a 3sge, let alone a white lightning for $1600!
Yea i know... been there done that!! im gonna keep her ASAP!! (as stock as possible) Gonna change the clutch, fix the air con!! REALLY REALLY DISPARATELY WHAT THESE WHEELS!!! http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/brac...-rally-style-wheels-near-new-5x100/1014088140 and cant wait to give her good detail!!
