Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Interesting! A 911 with the motor in the front!
POST 5Original post
Wow what a horrifying beast that was. No wonder it killed itself. According to the really quite excellent sleuthing work by the 914 guys it was in fact a rebodied Toyota Celica. Unbelievable the lengths some people will go to. You can buy a real one for $15K dude!!!!!

I don't imagine it had a Porsche motor...it almost certainly had the stock Toyota drivetrain. Whoever built it was crazy, but not that crazy.
POST 9Original post
Lol!! I'm all for modifying and building cars, but this one is just plain weird. Lot's of cash and/or time to pull that off, and for what? A front engined, slow, poorly handling, badly braking Porsche wannabe with a horrible interior.

Just what that one deserved.

woof...

Finally - they finished the "build" on that POS Now if this one would get "finished" Link

The picture of the red GT4 doesn't belong with the rest. That Celica was the first of the Group A homologation cars and would make an easy 250hp with a great five speed and a better high performance AWD system than Porsche has figured out even twenty years later.
POST 14Original post
That "CeliNinNineSix" is an insult to Porsche's and Toyota's everywhere! Jon, the old Celica GT4 was a great car for sure!
