She has a rattle at the crank.She wasn't running Got her running today to have a first hand listen to the rattle Got a crank to go in and a new clutch to go in But in the future i will prob be looking at the 205 lump to go in
look great! i bet you cant wait to really drive it. id like to hear how it is to drive compared to the convertibles
Been working on the gt4 the last 2 days got a lot done striped down crank out replaced with new shell bearings mainly back together now so hopefully she will get fired up tomorrow . Any how a few pics

Haven't took her for a proper test drive yet but yes mate she feels a lot more responsive and powerful
Just a quick video do you think she sound fine or is it me being paranoied after doing a big job on her with the crank and bearing change . http://youtu.be/s1Q42NfEFnk
Ha lol have been working hard on her for the past few days. Now to sort out any teething problems and get the sprayer on the go to do the front wing
Brilliant work on her so far, Shaun! As Steve says - awesome group pics when it comes to the UK Gen4 Annual Meet Wonder if any St162 members would like to attend to :thumbsup:
Ok update on this. After replacing the crank run her for a bit and she still had a rattle. Next step was to have the crank reground and a set of shell bearings to suite. So has she stand now the reground crank and new bearings are in and shes going back together. A few pics Old crank New crank Finish cleaning the gearbox tomorrow then she will be ready to go back in. And get the rest back,together,
As echoed on the Celica Club UK.......I don't understand it but it looks fabulous It sure is a good looking beast, the 165 Bet you can't wait to drive it to your local supermarket and get loads of people lookng at you
