Hi,
Am I the oldest GT Turbo fan on here at 53?
Actually, I've got 2 Caldina GT-Ts, a green one I've had for 18 months or more and a Red special which I've just imported because I saw it in an auction and just had to buy it. The green is the daily transport, comfortable and quick but a bit tatty here and there. The Red has a big exhaust, Tien adjustables, an Apexi inlet pipe with cone filter, Speedline wheels/low profile tyres and is not very comfortable but looks mint - probably too mint for me (and the dog) and definitely too hard and noisy for me so it will probably have to go to a younger owner!
This is a great site and from what I've seen so far a very friendly place to be.

No offense taken, if we all drove the same cars the roads would be very boring.
I agree that in some of these pictures it does look a bit naff - when I resized and cropped them for posting they somehow lost something. I'll try to do a better job in future.

quite like caldinas, trevor/ted/weejohn had/have a white one, its lovely.

the red one i think would look a little more understated in grey or black.

anyhow welcome to the site.

Thought so... Good spot on the additional plate on the bulkhead, but from the TRD workshop? Nope... ;)

The guy who looked it over in Japan for me was a Toyota mechanic in the UK before he married a Japanese girl and moved to Japan. It was him that told me it was TRD - In the absence of any evidence to the contrary I just accepted what he said, he had nothing to gain by it. Why do you think he's wrong. I'll remove that bit of the advert if it's wrong.
