I own a '03 Caldina GT Four and I completely agree with everything you have said! I really wish it was at least a 5 speed and its such a gas guzzler but I freaking love it! My wife wants to get one too!
4 speed is in my opinion the worst by far! Some cars are even worse with only 3 speed... Most importantly, I totally agree with you when you talk about 5 or even 6 speed otherwise, your car is a gigantic gas guzzler
I have an 02 Caldina GT4 N Spec too, my biggest complaint is the transmission, the U140F isn't really known to be great and mine went in December at 160K KMs. It's been fine since but typical early 2000s/late 90s automatic slushbox
I am an owner of GT4 NSpec as well. There are 2 more things this car I don’t like which is the “Brake” and Drive Shaft Boot easily breaking apart. Other than that, the engine is reliable as long as you keep it stock. Just a bit sad the price of this car not appreciated like those sports JDM.
I've got a '05 Caldina Zt! 4 speed is definitely not enough! DO you have the front headlight problem where there is a yellow tinge that you cant get rid of? That's the only problem I have with mine.
yeah, 4speed isn't enough. And I am also thinking to change it to manual. but if i change the manual gear box, i have to change the engine or not?? suggestion pls
No need to change the engine, but you have to consider modifying to relocated the handbrake, make a hole on the firewall to fit the clutch pump and clutch paddle, fitting the gear shifter console, and if you want to maintain the awd terrain, make sure you get the whole transmission set comes with the rear differential as well, because the rear box ratio is different not the same..
@@myominnu4746 get open pod air filter, aftermaket exhaust system, engine management (such as emanage or etc), downpipe, external wastegate (optional if u prefer to adjust boost from there) or else you can increase boost from the oem actuator only. Make sure to get the engine management tuned by a good tuner
@@2917anwar thanks alot. I already got bov, downpipe and boost controller also. I haven’t do anything to the engine yet. So can i install the waste gate now?
@@myominnu4746 Adjust the boost controller to 1.2 bar and get a engine management for tuning the af ratio. Get a proper aftermarket exhaust system installed and you are good to go.
I bought a Lancer Evo, check it out here : th-cam.com/video/s5kgmrvgiL4/w-d-xo.html

I own a 05 GT4 and I love everything about the jdm car and the new BOV I put in today and the sound is Beautiful!
loving my 03 Caldina GT4 - I also feel like it needed another gear. Also never selling mine!!

I have a zt too, I love it, is yours 2.0 1azfse too? I drive mine very hard and it's been amazing for 140,000km
Loud road noise and the engine sound are two things I don't like about my GT-FOUR.
Mine sounds good since a put a Blitz Nur Spec exhaust on it : th-cam.com/video/gH0vz15S4ak/w-d-xo.html
Cool car. What kind of fuel consumption are you getting on average?
12-13L/100 km on average
About twice the fuel consumption of a manual version!
@@MrWilliam.Stewart There is no manual ST246 GT4 from the factory.
Yer thanx. Very onest thanx. I r
Still want one"
I have one additional thing I complain about daily, it has the worst turning circle of any car I've owned.
It's not so bad... The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 5 is even worse
What size rim and tyres?

Good video can I know the fuel consumption please
10 up to 15 liters per 100 km
how many km per tank of fuel?
Don’t remember, sold it over a year ago
Were parts hard to find for it?
No, pretty easy compared to my EVO
Well it's only going to have an LSD if its an N edition
Mine has the LSD from the N edition.
Even better a volvo"
