MartinGT Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 well i say work, a tester my mate stevie came down to mine today to see if his wheels could be saved or if they needed totally refurbed. the whiteish bits are the stuff where the lacquer is still there, which left shiney metal underneath, the black bits is caked on @*!# with corroded alloy underneath, wheels are such a state! done a wee bit and it came up well, going to do all the wheels soon. and a video of what round our way is a famous noise.

sinbad Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 nice what power is it pushing? does it have the dif? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinGT Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 he reckons around 220-230bhp, he thinks the 190's have an lsd standard? not sure on that one. by the way the pics of the full car are older ones, hence why the wheels look ok in them!

GC350z Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Aren't the wheels RSGT as opposed to GTR. Had the same ones on my Celica except in silver and thank god they never looked like that. What happened to them? Discs could do with replacing. I seem to remember a thread about them crumbling in the celica club. I miss my Celica. Sort of. Sometimes. Did seven (Nathan) ever supercharge his Celica? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinGT Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 they are rs-gt's, dunno why it says gtr, not my writing lol. just been chipped and the salt and water has got under the lacquer and ruined them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC350z Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Wow, thankfully they don't really salt the roads here. They use gravel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmJak Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 had thought of getting a celica but someone told me that they aren't particularly comfortable unless you're of a smaller build. cheeky sod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
