4WD Turbo Altezzas


please show me one of these.

altezzas are only non turbo 2wd.
the gita wagons can be 4wd
again non turbo.

so any turbo version of those will be modded

Disappointed that we won't watch the beast advance further than you've already taken it Gary, but best of luck with your new choice of car. A nice new B4 will be the business ... as you said, plenty rapid, and they look good to boot.

There is a 4WD 1UZ powered Toyota sedan running around, can't remember the model though. No turbo but the V8 will make up for that.

yeah I have seen factory 4WD Lexus v8 (non turbo). Also have seen factory 6Cyl Turbo Altezza.

But back to the point

GOD CREATED SUBARUS FOR 2 REASONS

1. TO KEEP $&#$% OUT OF TOYOTAS!
2. TO KEEP APPRENTICES IN GOOD GEARBOX/ENGINE/TURBO/DIFF CHANGEING PRACTICE!

It was either TRD or Tom's that released a factory turbo Altezza albeit it was an extremely limited range...

1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!

They were a custom order from the factory, sooo they're not commonly listed and are VERY hard to find.

Food for thought: I know you can drop a 1uz-fe into an Altezza, but how difficult would it be to convert one to 4wd and drop in a 3s-gte?

Apologies then.
I was under the impression the Tom's Altezza was released as a factory turbo...

Picking up the new car tomorrow :D Looks very nice in silver 8)
Will still stay around to annoy everyone given that my rally will be 3SGE powered :twisted:

GT-Four has been sold to a very good mate of mine who I know will look after it and take it to the next stage. He already owns one of the other NZ new GT-Fours so that will be up for sale shortly if anyone is interested.

That'd be the Aristo, which tends to have a love it or loathe it look.
