    Mate how many seats? And is the boot like a hatch back?

     

    Its what you call a 'lift back'. It is like a hatch back I guess. It has 4 seats but like the GTV the rears are just token unless you are putting someone really small back there!

     

    The boot is really big, the economy is off the chain! Goes pretty well considering its only got 140 hp!

    That's bad luck dude, it was a nice car :(

     

    Will keep an eye out, like I said mines taken for now but needed work on it.

     

    The one at SA does look good tho. Trouble with the v6's is that they hold there money. 2.0's can be snapped up for next to nothing now

     

    I wonder if they would be willing to move on the price a little? I got some cash and really tidy Celica to trade! If not I would go for twinny but here arent that many around?

    Only one thing for it ;)

     

    What happened to it anyway?

     

    The Q-system gear box decided one day that it really didnt like being connected to the engine via a driveshaft. I had no choice but to sell it to a scrap merchant as the cost of replacing all the broken bits would have eclipsed the GDP of a small country.

     

    It was particularly gutting as I had recently spent alot on it having had the cambelt, water pump, radiator, sparkplugs replaced and a load of other stuff done to repair the damage done by the previous owner. Turns out he had the mechanical skills of a fish as after the work was done and before the drive shaft failed it was properly rapid and smoother than ever.

     

    Would have broken it for parts but didnt have the time or space or expertise.

     

    Looking out for a GTV now so if you know of any local that are for sale and worth buying then let me know. I have seen the 3.0 at SA but its maybe just a little out of my budget right now.
