Why i sold my 2003 STI for a Caldina?
1. getting married
2. car trashed (conrod bearing noise, many leaks n rattles
3. thought of growing up (changed my mind this year)

When i got the caldina almost 2 years ago it was one of the only on the
road........some ppl thought it was n American car some thought it was a
subaru MPV......heheh

but i thought it was crap becuase it din handle or blast like my scooby.
After a few months it grew on me......n now i do really love the car.


only thing tat still dissapoints me is the brakes....use endless n it
will give u endless nightmares, use bendix n it will bend ur disk....heheh

however after blasting it around for a long time i must say its got a
bullet proof engine n gearbox

Dont know what else to add so if you guys need more information do ask..

How about FC? At the moment i driving a 2000cc car the FC is like 7.5km/L.

Wat happen to ur brake system? How much to change to 6pot Brembo or some
other brand?

Actually wat is the code for this engine?

All 3SGTE engine runs on similar block and parts....with just slightly
some difference. Therefore, many parts from MR2...Celica GT4....and the
Caldina GT4 are interchangeable.
