Sad Day For Toyota

Post by **notslow** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 2:17 pm

1991 Celica GTFour RC 767 of 5000 was lost today. My roommate has lost his dream car. It was in mint condition inside out and had very very low kms. He is ok and that is the most important thing. Combined with my boss (who is also my good friend) having troubles with his ex this has all rubbed off on me and my day is crap. I woke up this morning feeling educated from a new book I have started, excited for a bright sunny day (nice for a change) just to have it defecated upon.

post-trauma pics are sure to come. This car is listed in the Complete Part Out Forums if there is anything that anyone wants from it, rims included.

RIP GT4RC!

Story?

rims are fugly IMHO. I demand pics of carnage!

Those wheels are um, different.

IMHO, a car like that I wouldn't even drive on public roads, those things are wonderful relics of Toyota's WRC glory days. I'd only take it to track days or autocrosses.

I don't think i want to see the totalled photos.

Wow that sucks. Didn't like the wheels too much but the car looks awesome.

*sigh* I miss cool Toyotas.

Those wheels would look great on an 80s Celica. Seriously.

Sad. I see those things once a year at Sno*Drift. The one year, there were two red ones following my wife and I in the vert - I'm sure they wanted to go faster than we could:

Anyways, give your roommate our condolences.

Nice car but those wheels SUCK!

Glad your buddy is ok though.

My buddy has a RT-615 for sale. (88 All Trac Turbo AWD)

Yeah, my friend has a really clean '93. He told me he looked up the production numbers, and only 83 were sold in the U.S. (of the '93's).

So. Um. What happened? Did he hit someone? Someone hit him?

Post by **iwantans13** » Thu Feb 14, 2008 5:54 pm

Thats a shame and a half.

The following images depict scenes that may be upsetting to some viewers. Discretion is advised

Hit making a left turn because he was forced to move out of the way for a semi. It is pretty complicated.

Wow That Sucks!

Oh that poor ST185, the wheels were ugly, but it did not deserve such a cruel fate. Good luck with the part out.

poor poor baby...

Someone rehost please, can't view at work

For such a rare car, it's not fixable??? Pics don't look too bad.

That is the call of the insurance company (ICBC is a horrible, evil, monopoly). If it is written off, they will pay him out on the blue book value and they will send it to an auction and he can blind bid to buy it back. If they fix it, he continues to drive his Toyota Corolla rental car till the claim is completed.

Well, Best of luck with that. I hope it works out.

I really miss my toyota! Im gonna get another one for next winter though!

Post by **notslow** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 7:04 pm

We have started parting out the Celica. I am documenting all of it in the 'Others' forum

man...i could fix that...

but myself, in choosing an 80's rally homologation car, would prolly pick an 88' GTX...but that's just me.

Wow, that sucks really badly...
