Loved my Celica of this era. Ultra reliable, sold it in 2007 with 150000 on the clock, with no squeaks or rattles, amazing! Just noticed that the guy I sold it to has finally got rid of it in 2019.....I have no idea how many miles it must have had on its odometer!
This car has been my dream since 2013. Once I have a better paying job, I will be saving up for this car. Love the 3S-GTE motor. This is basically an AWD MR2 turbo.
Dad had one in the the early naughties. Some of the best memories I have as a kid. Also madee many friends at school. Friendships usually started "omg your dad's car is so cool, what is it?" Those friendships still survive to this day, 20 years later. Not many cars can do that.
Growing up in a big import car city in California, this car was just a legend. No one actually had one. But everyone knew of them and respected them. So yea I’d say it’s pretty darn iconic.
I just saw a GT-Four the other day on "YourCarBro" and thought it looked like it needed a body kit. Thought it was odd that it didn't have one from factory. Not a huge fan of red, but it looks so good with that body kit. Helps the extended spoiler look less out of place and ties it together nicely.
Ohh man I can only imagine if they made a new Celica gt-four. We're in the era of turbo 4 cylinders and could work with Subaru and get that awd system in there.
Funny story about the old Celica body, My buddy who was just getting into cars kept telling me there was someone in his apartment complex with a supra. One day I went over to his place and he told me to look across the street and low and behold it was a toyota celica LOL.
Have owned one for 17 years. Now heavily modified. I can remember back in 2002, our american friends on Alltrac.Net cooing over the St205. I cant believe the time is finally here. Those of you interested. a stock engine can handle 300-310 with only breathing mods and boost control. Stock head will flow over 500hp. (know this first hand) All you need is a nicely build short block. Cant wait to see what you guys in the US start to do with them. Enjoy
I really like the body style. It doesn't look out dated .looks like a modern car of today .... send Toyota a petition to bring this car back . I'll sign it.

@@RaitisRides (: thanks man, i also did all the maintainence engine work myself, from timing belt, waterpump to seals, gaskets drive belts and suspension components all with genuine Toyota parts.. love working on cars, keep up the good work on your channel!
I only own the standard baby Celica, the 1.8 ST. It's Red, a 1998, but I love it. Celica is a very underrated car as a whole (Gen 6), Gen 7 is ugly I'm sorry to say.
I think your era of Celica looks a lot better than those year 2000 Celicas they came up with just like I dont care for that brand new Supra they just made.
This brings back memories, I live in the EU and swapped a 3S-GTE 3rd gen front end into my ST202 (with 3S-GE and S54 gearbox) with 3" full exhaust about 12 years ago. I got 240 whp and 390nm torque measured on a dyno. Not a real GT4 but it pulled like a freight train!
*people often love the supra and forget the celica even though it's a important car in a Toyota history without a celica we don't get a supra I personally love the celica is one of my top favourite car and probably one of the best looking car in the world*
Agreed fellas but was just saying a 40-50k non super high performance 2 liter turbos these days still doesn't put out that kind of power 25 years later. Step it up to S3 and RS3 and 2.0t is way beyond any of those numbers though.
Back then the difference between the WRX and STi starting with the Ver 3 were so small that you could still have 280hp. Subaru gave the Ver 3 WRX a VF22 standard and during drags with minor bolt ons the Ver 3 STi couldnt keep up, hence the bug eye and on WRX was gutless
I have a 1994 twin turbo supra 6 spd but I like these a lot I remember when they came they were talking on TV like it was the little brother to the Supra. One day I will buy a 1994 Celica (not GT4) just to have next to my Supra.
All Toyota has to do with the Celica is modify their Corolla and make it a 2 door coupe and/or 3 door hatchback and it would be 100% a Toyota Corolla minus 2 doors.
$19000? Bloody hell. In the UK I paid £4000 ($5000) for mine earlier in the year which needed some work. Good ones seem to go for £6000-7000 ($7500-8800). Unlucky USA.
Prices are going up here in Japan, the sad part is most who want an ST185 or ST205 dont know about the A Spec and WRC models, break a few tack welds and get surprised.

You are hilarious! Based off the current rules and what companied are able to run the Yaris is worthy.
If Toyota brought back the Celica it would probably have a Volkswagen engine and based off the Jetta platform or something 🙈
I hate to say it but you are probably right!

Rick Hunter Toyota is fat and lazy now.
Using the Golf R as base wouldn't be a bad idea IMO.

Let's be honest, if toyota brought the Celica back today, it'd probably be a crossover lol. See : Mitsubishi Eclipse
Why can they use the same motor and try to improve it a little. Seem to have alot of horse power even for today this car is really fast!
Leon N No way. Celica has always been a sporty coupe. ALWAYS. Mitsubishi is on drugs and are desperate to stay alive.
The Eclipse cross looks like a shitty Aztek. No way I'd ever approve of the Celica getting a similar treatment.
