GT-Four Rally
The GT-Four Rally was introduced as a competition-based version of the normal GT-Four, which meant is was lighter and quicker. To achieve this, electric items such as electric windows and mirrors were changed with manual parts. ABS was not available and the narrow body model had no sunroof, fog lights or rear windscreen wiper. Even hubcaps and mudguards were left off to reduce the weight. These changes made the GT-Four Rally 40 kg lighter than the normal Four. Also, the first four gears got shorter ratios to allow the car to accelerate even faster. All Rally models had steel wheels as standard. The price of an early narrow body Rally was 2,385,000 JPY. The (heavier) widebody version with yellow fog lights as standard was available at 2,686,000 JPY plus taxes.
Model code E-ST185-BLMVZR (narrow body) or E-ST185H-BLMVZR (widebody)
Production September 6, 1989 ~ August 1991 (narrow body) or August 1991 ~ May 1993 (widebody)
Nice. It is likely to be a rare "lightweight" Rally
Best advice is to use the Super Unleaded fuels, and either inspect and strip down / clean the AFM or pick up a replacement from
