[@grindstonegarage]

Gone on a decade strong!

[@grindstonegarage]

This was killer bro! Thankyou so much for having me on, here’s to a great 2023 bois 💪🏼

[@HazePvPHD]

This man is such an honest bloke, I spoke to him heaps when I had my celica and he was more than helpful in any way he could. Mad respect for him, and glad to see he got a feature finally! :D

[@grindstonegarage]

[@hiranyaattygalle8583]

Hello mate, Any tips on where to buy a ST205 bonnet and front bumper?. Thank you!

[@LordLoMR2]

I think his ear rings are more awesome.

[@cjburd519]

Toyota killed it with this year of the celica they need to bring it back.. something rally inspired but with the looks and totally modifiable.. they need to go back to the roots especially with the GR ... these cars are soo under appreciated they look like they were built in the 2000s .. we never got these gt4s awd in canada in fact I don't even think we got a turbo.. but I remember my buddy had one with a veilside body kit on it and it was sooooo beautiful.. drove like crap cuz he was tryin to blow the engine to put a new on in but he never did and all he ended up doing was busting the body kit lol 😂 we were still in high-school still so we had big dreams

[@mg1822]

Awesome and sounds great! I have a 97 GT in black. What front lip is that? It's hard to find a nice lip for the 96-99 stock bumper.

[@justintowers8230]

celica tuning factory. or ebay!....

[@grindstonegarage]

@@justintowers8230 yeah celica tuning for a replica of this lip but this is a genuine TOMS lip :)

[@firecaige1326]

Need help with information on a 4th gen 3sgte swap in a american celica

[@tougeadventures2076]

Pretty insane that this guy dropped more than $15k into a FWD Celica when he could have imported a ST205 and build that up. (AWD Celica with a 3sgte t as in turbo)

[@grindstonegarage]

Hey buddy this is my car. And I do also own an st205 GT4 which I imported in 2020. All I’m waiting on now to get the build rolling is my billet crank and billet block to be finished getting machined in the states and Greece and we’re on track to make a whole lot more power than ol Braaps here does. The 204 is just a passion project, and I wish I was only 15k into it lol

[@Automotiverecoveryuk]

My favourite fwd swapped gt4 hopefully get to enjoy mine this year

[@WeAreCrue]

Looking forward to seeing it

[@grindstonegarage]

FWD swapped GT4 hahaha love it mate

[@snoozeuloozetv1562]

Build a sw20 mr2 beams redtop

[@grindstonegarage]

Funny enough, I do actually own an sw20 right now. It'll be up for sale soon, I bought it back from the guy I sold it to (I originally owned it in 2020) so I could fix it and find it a new home. Id keep it and built that as they're a great platform but I have BIG plans for my st205 GT4 and unfortunately billet blocks and dog boxes aren't cheap, so the SW20 must go!

[@user-ys9px5bg6i]

O.O

[@harryx6968]

I didn't realise it's not a gt4 until now.

[@grindstonegarage]

Nawh this is the practice car. The GT4’s sitting aside waiting for it’s billet block to arrive 😋

[@Lil_Desy]

is it awd? was it hard to change it to awd ?

[@shinigami_gt_four]

Are you running a 5s block? That's alot of power for a 3s block

[@grindstonegarage]

205 3s block bruz, got three square edge 5s blocks on standby in the shed to turn this thing up one day if the little 3s packs it in

[@Lil_Desy]

I have a 1999 Toyota celica st204 and it has the 5sfe engine, will a 3sgte engine or 3sge engine fit ?

[@grindstonegarage]

yes

[@kinglubu767]

Toyota's evo

[@isiahcordova5693]

Where should I start to get this car ready for boost

[@grindstonegarage]

Money in the bank you're happy to never see again

[@ADADIZZLE]

Is this still a fwd set up?

[@grindstonegarage]

Yep and will always be!

[@danem7300]

I wish daddy would be me a full garage of cars

[@WeAreCrue]

I hope you’re joking

[@grindstonegarage]

@@WeAreCrue ahhhh fella must think all the cars behind the couch are owned by me. I wish. It's a shop buddy, they're multiple customer and shop cars.

[@CrossCudi]

[@grindstonegarage]

3rd gen the same as in my 205

[@Coda1231000]

[@josiahtrounson9170]

[@grindstonegarage]
