I love how honest they were when they were fixing the car, that's how it is when you work on someone else's car 👍🏻😄
i agree and im a mechanic lol
@@fakevirus8828 it maybe means he didnt work on one yet?
Anyone know the sort of BHP that car would have?
@@Groindz it has around 240 i believe
It's like that when I work on my own car
I'm glad rays car ended up at car throttle because imagine Ray trying to repair that after everything he's been through...
Epic job and well deserved...
Always a joy seeing the owners happiness at the expense of Alex and Gareth struggles
He very much does deserved it and he keeps saying how hard it would have been to take those jobs on by himself. They have such good contacts to get parts etc and have undoubtedly saved the car. 👍
The superstrut suspension parts on these are £1400 for new Toyota parts so a lot of money has been thrown at this car. And what a car it Is. In my opinion, the mk6 celica is one of the best looking 90's japanese sports cars out there. Great work making sure this one stays on the road for years to come. I hope Ray gets the enjoyment from the car he deserves. Good job guys.
Had st205 in 2007 let toyota main dealer do the superstrut 750 back then it was a import never had a issue with it other than that. 255bhp standard..put it on dyno 298..I had not done anything to it .got lucky .at the time lots of mates had impreza imports dealers wud not touch em..toyota never turned me away..you are so right about the mk6.
Yes she a beauty
Yes indeed. My dad had bought the suspension with the aim of replacing it all but I was able to sneak this into the car when I got it to the car throttle team. Dad is really enjoying the car and looking forward to taking it into the next steps of being a real collectors car.
I called toyota once for a clutch cable and it was 1000 dollars usd. So idk about that
@@hellofurend Cable? These use a hydraulic clutch line.
I replaced the master and slave cylinder on my clutch for approx £300. And if the line itself needs replacing, it's literally just a regular copper line. Easy job.
As a Celica owner myself, I can relate to the frustration when I was fixing it up. But once fixed it is a really really amazing car and I still own it after 8 years :)
When Gareth holstered the Jet wash, I was 100% convinced Alex was gonna pull the trigger and soak Gareth before doing the James Bond Stance!
Gareth was, also, %100 sure that exact thing would happen
Well the power of those things if he did im sure this would of been a restoring Gareths c**k episode 😅😅
More like detatch his penis - it was a facepalm moment.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE! Hope you enjoy our latest 'Giving Back' episode featuring a really cool (but troublesome) 90s JDM modern classic.
Merry Christmas guys. Loved the episode
Merry Christmas from south africa guys keep on doing what your doing
spent a small fortune sorting that one out, good effort for saving a ledgend.
Merry Christmas!
Some cars are just meant to be saved 👌🏻
Celica GT-Four is a special car, FIA homologation
The coolest cheat in wrc. Shame they didn't get away with it.
Can we just appreciate the insanly good sound editing a bit?
Almost every knocking in this video is right on the beat of the music.
Ich hoffe der Name ist Programm 😂💪🏻
What a brilliant series guys, very commendable A very worthy cause, I didn’t skip a single ad!
Incredibly rare st205 in that colour! Great to see one getting some love especially for someone deserving of it. Great work guys!
i've never seen one in this color before, But i like it a lot
Is it sea spray pearl or something like that?
@@davidroberts6977 yeah thats the one!
This man's dad sounds like an amazing father and bloke in general, hats off to him 💙
He is awesome!
Steve just looks so done with this stuff😂 I’m sure it’s an act but hilarious to watch 😂
finally, this is what its truly like to work on our own cars... except, they never get finished, normally because we run out of talent. or a willingness to smack it that hard with a hammer. awesome work :)
Or out of money lol
Can't wait to have enough money to buy a project car that I inevitably run out of money fixing.
Or cash..
Unreal! So important to keep this sort of car alive for years to come
i bloody love celicas, so its nice to see a big channel that fixes one, let alone features it!
Love what you guys are doing with this series. Keep it up! 😀
hearing the old lad give it a hard rev and the smile..... man you can't put a price on that.
I've been out in it with him. He is a savage😂
I had a friend with a tuned ones of these years ago and it was a monster it also drank petrol at a rate I had never seen before. Great video as always guys well done.
Old turbo cars do drink a lot! I have a stock MR2 with the same engine and it drinks more than my 2.5T STI
@@lecoureurdesbois86 christ the ST is thirsty aswell. But they also sound pretty damn good.
3sgte is a more than capable motor shame they never got the enthusiasts like the sr20
@@oetic5016 Not a bad thing, they're not as overoriced. MR2 people actually swap K20s because "more modern, cheaper parts".
I'm too much of a purist to even look at those.
@@lecoureurdesbois86 yeah but surely nobody is swapped the 3sgte for a k20.. I do know of people swapping the 2zz for a k series though because of obvious reasons haha
Jack should do a cheap modifying series on the Saxo, love this car sos series. Best car channel on RUclips
Just like Donut jack..?
The compressed air trick with the seized caliper was something i had to deploy on a very seized 200sx rear caliper once.
it’s always nice having a mate around to help with your shaft
Shaft-helping friends are the best kind of friends.
Only if is a woman
That car was in amazing condition, they got away with doing the basics hahahaha I own one and ven mine has been great compared to many that require complete rip out rust repair to bare chassis and rebuild. Good to see it in the line light though
I mean... any 20yr old car that doesn't require any body works is in amazing condition.. Suspension work is easy and also cheap **if you can the parts**
@@jjb4531 cop on meaning you don’t agree? I don’t know if you own a gt4?
@@donbarzini2141 i think they would of blown the budget when they did the suspension, 2-300 per item 🤣🤣
As someone who daily drives a gt four it's always great to see another Celica back on the road. On a side note, the problem with the spark plugs is usually caused by a failed rocker cover gasket that pisses oil onto the plugs, I've only had to replace it on all 3 of my celicas
I daily my ST165, they are such fun cars. Always great to see another person daily them
I had a Carlos Sainz limited edition Celica for 17 years, one of the best cars I have ever owned. Now drive a Yaris GRMN which is also a great car to drive.
Recently bought an st202 SS3 beams red top. freshly imported and waiting on registration. Cant wait to take it for a proper drive. Hope the GT-Four is treating you well.
@@AxeManAnt the GT-Four driving experience is very good, the maintenance experience... Not so much lol
@@mateopopich5022 Replaced the superstrut on mine so i'll drink to that. Timing belt and water pump next up. Then a bit of bodywork and a full respray. My bank account hates the car as much as I love it haha.
The fact that you guys are doing this makes you all that much better in my eyes. This is taking your channel to a whole new level, even if you only did one of these every other month to help people in the community. In all honesty you guys could use a ton more screen time on your local news or the BBC to help show off these good deeds!
Hello my good friend I’ve been watching you for donkeys years 😂
"You don't know Melinda Messenger? Oh Christ". Well that's my Christmas Eve red wine spat out all over my screen.
Oh the "Sainz" Celica though! Such an underated legend of a car!
This ain't th sainz version
@@TDL5584 Oh yes you're right. Well I prefer that one though!
I love it when they polish and cera coat the car and then present it in the darkness, you cannot see anything but you have to trust a fella who says it pops :D
It's the UK. It's always dark this time of year
you guys are amazing giving hope to a people , making them happy ... huge respect from me
Such a wholesome video.
I’ve just got a Celica GT-Four, and I’m in the process of restoring it, so this was a great watch!
Good luck with your build!
@@RRSmurf thank you! Very kind.
"Worst car we've ever worked on"
Scotty Kilmer wants to know your location.
I'm willing to bet that Scotty Kilmer has never even seen an ST205 in the metal never mind worked on one. They might look similar, but the ST202 and ST205 are vastly different cars.
@@mattn6368 Scotty Kilmer doesn’t have an ST202 he has the AT200. ST202 is a GT 2.0. Scotty has the 1.8s
Kilmer is a clown 🤡
@@JReiid Aside from the obvious (engine, gearbox&shafts) pretty much everything in ST202 and AT200 is the same and fits each other P&P.
@@veevoir And Brakes, exhaust.. etc
As someone with kidney disease and a half built camper and a friend that you's bought one off a insta friend who was struggling i really appreciate what you have done for that st205. Having nothing and trying as hard as you can against the world with no progression is harder than you will ever know. I really appreciate what yous and the son have done. Genuinely amazing ❤
You guys r awesome u made this man so happy now he can live the good memories every time he starts that beautiful car up well done guys ..so proud 👍
Another great job and car sos / top gear would be proud of how far you have all come
In tears what a wonderful thing to do for the guy. Caring for family before his own interests. That’s a true gentleman. Well done guys
This is one of the best videos you have done, serious throughout and genuinely no real pissing about (fluid licking excepting).
You guys are amazing! Loved to see you working on my dream car, what a great Christmas gift. Merry Christmas everyone!
I can’t help but laugh at how evil the car is being. I have PTSD from my old ST205. Toyota did such a good job at making them reliable(-ish) that when something went wrong it was a major PITA to set right. Nothing was a 5 minute job other than fuelling it.
Deserves the nickname “the faff” but still one of the best cars I’ve ever owned and regretted selling ever since!
My old ST185 was also a pig to do anything beyond changing oil but I loved it still
That was some serious work done on this project. Great job 👏
This thing you did here is hitting my heart here.. this is HERO act!! Even its not me… kinda felt for this son.. the father really deserve this… thank you guys…
I hope lots of people look at this.. and copy this idea from you guys…
Wow this series is the best on RUclips right now
so glad to see a gen6 celica! i wanted mine to be fixed but im in the US and dont really have a story for it so this is great!
I had a ST-185 RC GT-Four. 9 years happy owner. Awesome car. I was naughty and did the full Castrol graphics on it. Now it's living in Hungary in the care of a Rally Mechanic who uses it an advert for his business.
The Celica GT4 is a legendary car and the restoration is appreciated by this car guy!! I would of liked to see those brake caleeper's powder coated but still beautiful.
I love these series, keep up the great work guys!
You did a good thing here, multiple good things. Well done to you all
Amazing amount of work 🔥
If you do the pry bar against the lugs nuts maneuver often, buy some large heat shrink tuning and apply a few layers to a pry bar
Great video, you guys did amazing, big respect to you both!!
Love this; well done lads! Job well jobbed. That detailer 😂😂 Wasn't impressed with your elite professionalism?
I had one of these and it was honestly a joy to work on, so long as you've got the tools, and the wallet! Front suspension parts for example are horrific price to replace the lot... Every 60-80k miles! Haha!
By far one of the best series on the RUclips car scene if not all genres. The effort and money you guys spend to give such a great gift to needing fans is admirable no matter the fact that you make well deserved money from each video.
Wonderful series. I hope you keep making them.
Not skipping ads on this one, i want to support these video's. Love the positivity and what you guys are doing for others!
Even that annoying one “it’s going to be a merry christmaaaaahs!!
not skipping ads doesnt help them make more money
@@kapers5772 Tru dat. Best thing he can do is like, subscribe and share the video!!!
They still make the same amount wether u skip watch till end etc u donut
Gareth - Could you hold my shaft?
Alex - Thought you'd never ask
What a great thing to do. I only found this channel a couple of weeks ago and can't stop watching it. Very entertaining. Thanks a lot guys. Great job.
Merry Christmas to all those celebrating god bless you all, this pandemic has been horrible but I hope tomorrow is amazing for everyone and hope everyone gets loads of car parts 😂 keep living life everyone and hopefully next year is a year for everyone ❤️🙏
The pandemic isn't the problem, it's the Governments response to the mild cold that is the problem.
I would honestly love this as a returning thing, something like doing a monthy 'subscriber and car in need' or maybe quarterly depening on what is possible.
No, it's boring and salvation army looking.
I absolutely love these type of videos . Christmas to rember for this gent
Thank you CT for another great video and a another year of content. Marry Christmas to you all.
Suspension work, plugs and fluid's changed is not bad for an old turbocharged car that's been sitting. How is that the worst car? Have you not worked on a 3000GT yet?
I had the misfortune once to have to do the clutch, on the AWD bi-turbo one.
Never.
Again.
Ever.
Still can’t believe Project Binky fit all of this running gear in a mini 🤯
I love this series - doing nice things for nice people after the 2 years we have had is the way forward - well done guys
This series is amazing, love you Car Throttle
Great job, GT four still looks and sounds better than most modern cars
hope this isn't just a christmas thing, these past couple videos have been great. I stopped watching for a long time but these videos have brought me back.
Top quality video well detailed information and honesty looking forward to seeing what's next
The scenes in the workshop with Gareth and Alex are just gold!
I still remember the time in the '90s when I was waiting for my fish n chip order to be ready and a GT4 went through a nearby roundabout at a fair clip while being followed by a normal Celica. It did not end well for the normal Celica. Nice on boys.
The best part about car throttle is that it has all of the best programs in one. Car throttle does top gear style episodes and car sos episodes now. This is brilliant the true one stop shop for car lovers. Merry Christmas everyone
Yooooo finally a celica.
My dad has an original ST205 WRC. That thing has been standing for 12 years with engine disassembled but slowly but surely it's being brought back to life.
Simply put, I love that you're doing videos like this 👏
Brilliant what you lads are doing! Love these vids!
Love how you show that a bolt really can be a pain in the ass to undo and take the whole day lol as a car guy you get annoyed with Ed China and the pre-loosened bolt prior to filming lol 😂
Difficult things being difficult are never as annoying and frustrating as a supposedly easy thing being difficult 🤣🤬
Merry Christmas to you all, thankyou so much for all the videos, me and the family love all of them
Awesome wholesome content ❤️ also that red mini in the back when you're cleaning was gorgeous.
You were able to hammer the caliper pins out of that, in the st205 community it means that car is in not that bad a condition haha. As a st205 owner myself I find these cars take a certain approach to really get things done correctly.
I owned a 205 and did all the work your doing on my back on the drive 👍 the st205 is a car that owns you not the other way around lol 🤣 awesome machines though loved mine
I owned a st205 at the same time as a st185 ( very modded ) , a beams st202 ( beyond rare ) and a st183c/185 rag top gt4 ..... beyond modified .
I love how u do the works for them that deserves it. Love u car throttle guys!
Merry Christmas 🎄 to all the CT team love yous 🧡🧡
Iv an st205 for 8 years and iv done all them jobs and more but you haven't got to do the worst job to ever be done on a st205 and that's the clutch.
Thankfully it had a new clutch just before he bought it. 🥳
Great episode,loving this series soo much :) very emotional one for me ive have just lost my uncle to cancer, he too was a carer for his mother and spent his life looking after her, he had owned a Peugeot 309 GTI as his second car his enitre life and he never got to see it fully restored before he passed. ive now inherited his car and am going to try and restore it for him as best i can. thanks for the video guys :)
This is heartwarming, seeing the Celica come to life again! This makes me wanna scrape together some cash to help my dad realize his project car, ever since he got ill in cancer the car has been sitting in his driveway without having the money or the energy to fix it up again. It's a shame not only for him since it's his dream car, but since it's a rare 1984 model volvo 245 estate turbo.
Basically the wagon version of the 242 turbo evolution, there was like 3 cars made in the color scheme where one is scrapped and the other became a track rat here in sweden. It's litterally the last one in pretty much stock configuration from that model year.
What a bunch of lads seriously great work and big thanks to geon great products looks like it works absolute wonders. I will be sure to find testers to sample there products. Car looks ace good work lads. 👍🏼
Absolutely love Gareth, his banter is brilliant!👌🏼😂
"What a hero"
every time i watch these i wish i'd have been in touch so you could save the car my dad gave me on his death bed...
happy for those who've had their cars saved though :)
What car is it?
Ok nvm 😔
@@rajjy1976 sorry bud i've only just seen this, it's an MG ZR. nothing special to most people but carries a lot of sentiment to me.
Continue to be amazed with all the work you are all doing to help people, long may it continue
Awesome watching you guys do this for people, legends ❤
This is like Pimp My Ride but the "Pimping" actually means a lot and is wholesome instead of just putting an aquarium in the boot!
Absolutely loving what you guys are doing.
This is awesome another great transformation. Fair play guys. Stop revealing the cars at night though 😅 you're doing yourselves a disservice
Once again awesome job! You are great guys!
Having had the pleasure of owning a GT4 ST185 the older brother to this one. I can vouch that they are a real pain to work on but when running properly they're a hoot to drive. Also living fairly near a Toyota main dealer their customer service was second to none and really helpful.
Great video guys and keep the videos coming.
Should have had Ethan on it, he'd have had it sorted in the hour..
The video title would then be called: 'The Worst Mechanic We've had Worked On Our Car'.
A broken Celica? Only one solution: Turn it into a classic Mini.
15 years later...hahah
Time to get the funk out
Brilliant video once again. Great job guys!
A good deed done. The owner reminded me of my late father who has made all his family including his 5 daughters all mad on cars. He would help anyone, anytime on their car. Car SOS flavour going on, and helping out people who’s car is nearly useable. Well done lads.
Hi could I ask how one is to submit their story to the team? I have a Toyota Yaris T-Sport that needs a bit of work but I just can't afford it. It's been a particularly nasty year with my best friend taking his own life, my ex-girlfriend being murdered and just recently losing another friend to suicide. Feels selfish to ask for help but the chance that this comment even gets noticed is like 1% so there we go
I love gt-fours and love the way you guys fix the cars and the stories ❤️❤️❤️
Omg! another one in a week! yes! Merry Christmas everyone! have a warm and lovely one with your loved ones! 🎄❤️
Great little car that and great video as always. Merry Christmas to everyone at CT and the comment section and have a great new year!❤️
I’m loving this series more please
