A quick little video on my new old car. It may beater 80s Toyota, but I can't deny I love this car. To many it is not perfect or desirable, but anyone who owns one can't help but have fun driving it with its retro vibes.
Video and music by Josh Greenwalt
Music inspired by Running In The 90's (of course)
Special thanks to Eva for helping film
Can’t deny that these things were good looking cars
Saab Rider Still are!
karma They looked ok. But I don’t think any later models looked as good as the 80s variant though
Too bad they didn't keep the 80-85 hatch and rwd for this model
Wait. initial d sticker, red paint, hatchback. Next gen Shingo confirmed
My FF does have a huge advantage when I drive with my hand duct taped to the wheel.
That ain't no beater you don't know the capability.
@@leftwithdustandashes7096 Shingo's EG6 it's not a beater he has a full Mugen suspension setup and Mugen brakes kit and the B16A with 15+ HP and a Mugen clutch & flywheel kit LSD differential .
2:58 "blasting some eurobeat"
A man of culture I see...
I also like the color grading you did, it looks like it was shot on film
It adds like 15 horsepower

omg i bought a typewriter, doughnut bag, and now i just have to buy a 1986 Toyota Celica!
Don’t forget to use the affiliated link!
RetraCast omg i totally have to so that my fav daily vlogger gets his kickback from his corporate sponsorship!
you know what THOMAS MCELROY, I think you're onto something
An alternate version of me. I bought a red '85 Celica GT-S Liftback with a 5-speed manual for $1650 five years ago. I used it my senior year of high school and my first four years of college as a daily driver. Now I have a '99 LS400, but still have the Celica. It has faded red paint that can look somewhat pink and on the roof is down to the clearcoat. Completely stock except for Enkei 92 wheels (Original production ones from the 80s or 90s, not the re-introduced ones and they were already on the car). Also a bad tear on the driver's seat left side bolster. But otherwise the interior is very clean. By the way, if you're not familiar with the 3rd gen Celica that I have it is RWD so that's something to consider. 22R-E engine is not that befitting of a sports car and it's really slow, but if you're in the canyons it's alright and it actually has a nice sound to it in my opinion. Definitely get the GT-S though so you get the independent rear suspension. 4-wheel discs, power windows, power sunroof, power mirrors, 8-way adjustable manual seats, cruise control, power steering. The necessities in my opinion. And most importantly, the fender flares so you have some nice meaty wheels and tires on there and it gives a pretty badass look that you don't get with the GT or ST Celica.
I love the look of the video, nice camera work. Also, this is really weird considering the similarity between our cars, but I literally have in my sight I think the exact same TV. Wood trim around the screen, two knobs vertically stacked with the black rectangle below. It's a Hitachi TV. If it is not the same TV, it is extremely similar. I'm in general very much into everything vintage from cars, watches, clocks, furniture, houses, electronics, music, fashion, film photography (Currently don't partake in this, but love how it looks), you name it. Also, I am from Los Angeles and always wanted to move to Washington (Love the weather, hate sunny weather) and cheaper home prices there. And also no smog and CARB so you can actually import your 25-year old cars without spending thousands of dollars more to make it compliant. Most likely will never move there because my family is here and my girlfriend's family is here and she herself would hate the weather. But yeah, pretty interesting stumbling upon this video because we seem similar.
Dang that is really crazy. Yeah I love the car and have considered looking for older gen Celica’s but there aren’t really in the area right now and I can’t part with mine now. But also if I got another car it would have to be different enough haha. I plan on doing some more Celica (teamed with other cars) videos in more of a cinematic race style so look out for that too.
As for the tv, yes it is hitachi and maybe the same one?? It works and was my roommate and I’s only tv last year but hasn’t gotten as much use since we got a newer one for the living room. I’m super into vintage stuff and that’s kind of the point of this channel. I feel like my filming skills are improving my leaps and bounds each video but haven’t had as much time to film lately. But stuff is coming I swear so look out for it if you’re interested. It’ll be worth the wait.
I will fight to get this car I swear to God! I want one so giving bad!
3 months ago I bought one , a red gt liftback with the 1.6lt (130bhp) , as a first car. The guy who was selling it was the first owner and it has 210000km on the clock (~120000miles) . Honestly it is a great car considering its age. Not a lot of power but it has torque. It has a lot of trunk space , and good visibility , but the rear sits are for kids only..
Agree, love mine and planning a year update vid on it soon. Hope yours lasts you like mine
I want one of these but an 88 notch back, I love the body style of these.
I ADORE my '89 ST-162 (one owner garaged it's whole life, never went without seat covers...she's pretty cherry minus door dings and scratches from shopping carts), bone-stock unmolested...and it gets eyeball everytime I drive it and provided I behave myself I get righteous MPG....in "grandma mode" (when I drive like a little old lady) I can average 38-40~MPG Highway (factory rated at 30 MPG highway) and I can squeeze about 20 MPG in-city driving outta it.
When I drive it in fun-mode, MPG does suffer, but it's spritely in nature, it's a very much "slow-car-fast", it corners better than it has ANY business doing. It's quick off the line due to short-legs in the gearbox..
I love the aesthetic appeal of the car, it has an adorable face when the headlights are up...and just OOZES that 80's-cool vibe, sure it's "Wrong-wheel-drive" and a total pain to work on, but I love it...and I'd never trade it for anything
My AE86 (yuuup got one of those too) is a long-term project car, that I fall more and more in love with the more I work on it.
Definitely not a perfect or desirable car to many, but if you own one you really can’t help but love it haha. Great car
I got an 88 two months ago for $400! Unfortunately it needs a new transmission but other than that it starts up great. Can’t wait to take it on the road
I had red 88 celica st as my college beater. It was a fun car and everyone loved the pop up headlights!
Great video. Thanks for sharing! I used to have one of these in high school, back in the late 80's. Loved it to death. Your very well produced video brought back some nice memories.
Thanks for watching! I too love the car, wanna do more videos with it and other cars in general
I’m 15 & I’m about to work on a 1987 red convertible import one… with only 110,000 kilometres! Amazingly low for a 35 year old car. It’s idling rough, gonna try to clean the EGR valve first, & take it from there if need be
I own 2 of these lol
Rwd 1982 and fwd 1993
Amazing cars
Good summer tires and lowering springs are the only mods needed
Had the same car man. I loved it. Never wanted to sell it but I had to.
Love the way this thing looks. Wish I had this instead of my 2000 Camry for daily driving.
I had a silver one in college.....best car I ever had!
Those were damn good little cars ! You know that's what car Cliffjumper was from the 80's Transformers. ;)
Oh my god I just looked it up and I need one of these action figures now. This is seriously amazing. Maybe I’ll do a vid on that if I get one lol
About a year ago, I bought an automatic 1994 Toyota Celica GT, 6th gen black color. But don't worry, I do have a manual 2015 Kia Soul too, also black. :P
Very nice! Those ones look pretty sweet too. Like a natural evolution to this one
I've actually prefer this celica than MR2 of the same year :) It's just completely different world which is lot more enjoyable to me. in 2022 totally restored costs 4000 euro in Europe, and that's cheap, even nissan s12 costs 7000 eur in non-restored condition in Germany. If I were you, I'd preserve this car as much as possible cause it's really historical one, GT model especially
I spent about the same on my st162 st semi convertable, im also in college. Im wanting to get the gt4 or all track as you call it in the states. Being a semi convertible has its problems with rain leaking tho haha and only the smaller 3sfe engine
Nice car, one dream
Cool video man. Thanks for sharing.
This is so cool!
lovely!! *eurobeat intensifies* at the end of this video
Aesthetic is great!
Normally when cars survive this long, you have an original owner who took very good care of the car and kept it for a long time before parting with it.
I use to own one. It's a solid car. But I totalled it a month later when I got my licence. 😔😔
This is the saddest thing ever, sorry to hear
No worries that was high school years.. but at the end I got newer Celica back in the day and till this day I still own it 🙂
Same. My 1st car was a 1992 manual toyota celica. Totalled it only a month after I had bought it. Just after getting my license the week prior.
You think thats trashed? I just bought a 1987 Celica GT last week, A huge dent in the side panel, Front fender is a different color and also has a dent on it, She doesn't even currently run yet. But hey $280? I think that was a steal.
Hahahaha yeah it’s really more the paint than anything. But $280 is definitely a steal if you can get it running. Being a Toyota hopefully too much isn’t jacked up internally
@@RetraCast It has 106k miles on it, its been sitting for most of its life considering its an 87, hell my 96 Celica had 296k miles on it prior to me selling it. I still see it every so often driving around town
Pretty good video man, if you haven't figured it out by now since this comment is a couple years late, there's a build plate on your car that will tell you what engine and transmission is in the car. It's usually a gray square plaque on the firewall
Hello new Celica owner. I am HUGE into 4th Gen Celica. You do not have a ST162. You have a ST161. The ST162 came with either a 3s-fe or 3s-ge engine, you have a 2se engine. Most of the time, the power steering leaks from the hoses. One from any other FWD Celica from 1986-1999 will fit.
I notice you were driving with your high beams on. Those old 4x6 headlights really don't push much light. I would suggest getting a H4 conversion housing and getting some good bulbs. Or even go LED though some of them look funky.
If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask.
is the st163 the one with the 4age? if not, which one is it? (European model)
cheese grater exhaust are a super rare period correct modification originating from the michigan area. Honda engineers seeing this modification copied it over to the gen 10 of the honda civic with the idea of generating "back pressure"
I know it’s a car video... but your camera (video quality) looks AMAZING.
What kind of camera is it???
Fujifilm X-H1!
this celica has the 2.0 2se motor the one that came in the 83 to 86 camry le while the 87 camry with came the the new twincam 3sfe and a 2.7l v6 called the 3vzfe optional
Nice car. I have an 86 coupe GT-S 5 speed but it has a starting issue so I can't enjoy it as much ):
post vids of the issue! could get the 4age boys to help diagnose the issue. Me being one of them!
@@jamesvazquez2244 there's not really much to show. I have a new battery and alternator and ignition switch but it won't start on it's own all the time. It turns over sometimes and turns on but other times it's just a click. I can push start it but I don't want to damage the engine. It also turns on when I jump it w someone else's car but I don't have two cars. If I can upload one later on I will but that's what I know with the problem. I switched the relay as well for the starter and nothing ): I'm starting to lose hope so I kind of want to sell it
@@xCreeze so you replaced the starter or a relay for the starter?
@@jamesvazquez2244 I replaced the relay for the starter and I got the starter checked and they said it was good. So I just think it's the wiring that might of melted on the inside of the cover or something.
@@xCreeze I would replace the starter anyway. Can't really go by looking at it much unless they testes it on another car. You can also smack the starter a little see if it turns over. Maybe check a junkyard or ask if you can return the starter if it wasn't needed and test with a new one.
Cool video. You did a great job on presentation and execution.
Just wanted you let you know though that the 4th gen Celica you have there is not an ST162, it's an ST161. (the reason for that being, in 1986 only the GTS with the 3SGE was known to be an ST162) Your car, the ST161 has a motor known as the 2selc. (Which is a 8 valve 2.0 inline 4 SOHC engine producing 97 horsepower from the factory) in 1987 to 1989 both the GT and GTS were known as ST162, the GT now having the 3SFE (which has an economical head and lower compression than the 3SGE producing 116 HP)
Yeah no you’re totally right. I remember noticing it said st161 in the engine bay but I think I just misspoke in the video. Nice catch
@@RetraCast ah no worries bud. It was a great video and I'm happy to see someone other than myself excited to own one and willing to make a video. I'd like to see more of her.
Funny you say that, I’m currently working on a new video series devoted to creating real life (still scripted though) initial d style street races haha. So more of the Celica is coming
@@RetraCast that sounds badass man!!
I like how deceiving this celica model looks at the front, it looks like blocked off lights but they turn out to be pop ups
cool celica 4 1986r
My dad has a 1985 celica and it’s red
My bro had a 1988 Celica ST. Sure was a cool little car!!! It got totaled by a POS drunk driver with 3 DUIs under his belt in 2000. The poor Celica was parked on the street. The POS has no license, no insurance, and to top it off, he also damaged my bro’s 66 Mustang 🤬
I feel it man. My dad had an RX8 from when I was really little and in high school our neighbor rammed his huge truck into it and totaled it while it was parked on the street. Super sad. If you like the Celica vid you should check out my more recent one I made last summer. 1 year update vid haha.
@@RetraCast Ouch! Will check it out 👍
I want one
would an 86 GTS coupe in blue with 108,000 miles interest you?
what camera did you use for the closing vid? the sound was superb, ff1.5?
Just my Fujifilm X-H1 and 56mm 1.2. No extra mic or anything for the sound.
Do you still have your Toyota Celica?
I have the 1987 t16
You are so charming I loved the video
Cool
2:00 👍
How did the person make that cargo cover?
They were in some shop class and cut a piece of sheet metal then painted it
@@RetraCast nice thanks for the info but how did they get the shape?
I like FWD better because it is harder to get slide on the car in curves.
Consgueme el lip del celica 86 nomas es lo que necesito saludos soy antonio o bay s san fransico cal. Armour 200b y saiprees. Gracias. Tu celica esta bonito cuidalo
Do you want to sell your Toyota Celica
No
Dude, you had a Fiat Spider in High School. just think about that
I think about it quite a lot actually
@@RetraCast that is so cool!
Yeah, I love them. They’re cheap and common as far as classics go. The biggest cost is just the time and effort to keep it alive haha. I got pretty lucky and didn’t run into too many problems. I mean I even delivered pizzas in it for a two summers. It’s how I actually was able to get all my camera gear for this channel. I wanna make a video on it when I can eventually
Yo you should hmu I got a Toyota Celica hatcback gt 1987 my dad has 87 convertable and 86 gt hatchback and a 89 coupe would be awesome to talk about our Celicas and parts and other wise stuff
