    This was my prized Celica Gt4 Carlos Sainz, until my wonderful hi-tech rally bred brakes didn't stop me going into the back of a Merc who decided to slam the anchors on, at 70mph on the M1!!

    upside was I have a Mk2 16v now, and its 100 times more reliable, fuel efficient and I would even say better to drive than the Gt4.

    Ouch that looks nasty, impact speed? 10-20mph tops i reckon. Why did the merc slam on the brakes? Is the engine salvagable? i don't want it btw mods.

    Amazingly as the car was so rare, a guy came and bought the complete wreck just for the engine!! Lucky for me, didn't lose too much money in the end.

    shame though

    EDIT: just noticed they weren't Halfords specials, but alloys [:$]

    Ha ha, they are alloys, pretty naff ones though for a car like that. It was 4wd 230bhp and its got tiny 15" wheels!!

    I remember Mr Sainz driving one of them in the season he rolled his WRC Celica 3 times in one day, 3rd was his last, Australia I think. The year Kankunen won the Championship in the Delta. :clap:

    Nice Celica, well, it was. [8(]

    Edit: can't spell, can't talk, can't drink properly. Any decent God would put me out of my misery.
