- Homologation-special cars are always the coolest cars to nerd out on, especially anything WRC-ralated. I rarely see these Celicas around town nowadays so it was a treat to find this amazing example at Super Lap Battle in COTA last week. Aaaaannnnnndddddd I'm now on Craiglist looking for one....

Love this build, read all the articles about it i could, while dreaming of finding one of my own. Just got a bone stock st185 a few months ago. Cant wait to do a few classy mods to it.
The ST185 finally got some love. Makes me proud to own 1 of 81.
Wdym with 1 of 81, there are like 5k of gt4's right?
@@cactusdemar 81 1993 Celica turbo All-Tracs were imported for US market. There were more 90, 91 & 92 models.
@cactusdemar Where did you get your car?. I bought the last one in Englewood, CO in 1993. A white car that I owned for 10 yrs and drove to 176k. 2 motors.
@@cactusdemarroughly 2500 from 1990-1993 for north america
Girl in My high school had one. We all thought our civics where cooler 😂😂😂
Buddy of mine had one of these back in the early 2000's. Had a slightly larger turbo, had removed all badging and had fitted a hood from a regular Celica so it was fairly stealth. He would regularly show up to local street races where it was mainly comprised of muscle cars and a few imports. The muscle car guys had absolutely no clue what it was even it had all the badging and hood. The import guys were aware of the GT four but they were rare enough that they would not even think that it was a GT four in disguise. Car upset quite a few muscle car guys.
As an Aussie lucky enough to have a GR Yaris Rallye edition, I’d almost trade that car and my left nut for this Celica. Such an amazing build 👌
😂😂😂😂😂
Beautiful car, I have always loved these GT4’s
I always had so much love for celica, they always put smile on my face when i see them on the street.
The ST165 Celica has some of the best AWD handling despite having a very primitive AWD system. Mine cornered as if on rails. You need to get hold of the period correct OZ roulette wheels for them too.
The 185 has the same drivetrain, unless it's a CS which has an LSD and different gearing.
@@boostgoober7262 the 165 feels more nimble, maybe a weight distribution or suspension thing. I did the bushings and sway bar as well as nice extended travel coilovers so that certainly played a part.
The st165 had neutral handling. The st185 suffered from a bit of understeer. Both great cars. Love my 165, bought her in '03 never selling it.
I got an st162 gts and even it being front wheel drive, it handles pretty damn well.
I remember those. They were amazing little cars. Why’d you sell yours?
I swear to fuck, if these start skyrocketing in price, I'm gonna lose my mind
Right, I already got at180 and those prices are rising. I’m hoping to snag one of these in the states before all hell breaks loose.
I was so lucky to find a 1990 ST185 this year in NY. Cant wait to build it up close to what this one is
Is it a black one? I remember seeing it for sale is why I'm asking
I had a 1990 Celica GTS and it was so perfect for a 16 year old. One of the best little cars I've ever owned!
This Celica along with the previous version (ST165), were some of the prettiest affordable cars ever made. It was like a little Ferrari for everyone! It's very sad that Toyota stopped making them. The GR yaris can be as fast as hell, but it is way..way too much ugly, in contrast to the Celicas. IMHO, every hatchback is ugly and of course every SUV, which is like a Jeep-ised hatchback. We want Celicas to return (bell for Toyota) :) .
Wheres my Toyota and Lexus enthusiast at ⁉️
This is definitely the predecessor to the GR Yaris/Corolla. Toyota and their rally racing Pedigrin history is great and I’m glad to see them bring it back in this modern day auto industry where’s others auto makers have abandoned cars like this.
Well the Corolla is still in production so it represents that line of AE sporty Corolla’s, but the GR Yaris definitely.
Can’t really combine lines
a corolla is a corolla, celica is something else.
in 2008, in canada, you can get a japan surplus gt four for less than $8k
The market sure changed. But mint stuff here in Russia still is
Awesome time at cota this weekend, even got a chance to meet Mr. Chen and Awesome guy, super nice, great experience, thanks again!
Wooow she's amazing the owner knows it perfectly 🔥🔥🔥
Celica GT4 is not the GR Yaris predecessor. It's the Toyota Starlet Remix (Japan only) or Starlet X (US version).
Starlet evolves to various nameplate as Echo, Vitz, and currently Yaris. Starlet X or Remix (AWD 5 speed manual) was in limited production and was also in rally.
Wheel and Tire Specs?
Got a ST185 like 4 months ago myself, slowly but surely making her a beauty.
Found it:
Tires - 235/40R17
Wheels - 17" x 8" (CE28N 10 Spoke Design)
I have a red one. Limited edition Carlos Sainz
With stock engine, a very rare car even in Europe
Thank you for reviewing a bunch of OG cars! Loving these 🔥
LOVED the cut where he starts talking bout how the car is more expensive than his wife. You saved the mans ass right there 😂🤣 She's finna go, "wait how much did you spend?!"
I just did a 4th gen 3s-gte caldina st215 engine ECM turbo intercooler ,manual trans transfercase in a 1997 Rav4 , was a very simple swap , Doug from wiregap did the harness conversion pretty quick , others say the axles dont swap but they do 43410 and 43420 same parts both cars .t but they do , the customer loves the car and the conversion and you can get a tach and speedo adapter on summit . this is such a cool car, get out and do your swaps ..this is proof it all can be done .. such a great engine from yamaha and toyota
Everybody saying “The Corolla is a descendant too” like the Corolla doesn’t have its own heritage. (AE86-111, 98 rally car, XRS, etc.)
As a 88 Fiero owner I love the pop up head lights an the rest of the car as well. Hope to get my car close to being as nice as this beautiful car.
St165 whit st205 engine, love the car
That rear Celica Dragon emblem is for the first gen, it's not JDM specific.
Absolutely gorgeous machine!! Great vibes from a great vid! Really enjoyed this, keep up the passion and good work! 👍
One of the fastest cars I've been in was a tuned stock Celica GT. First 4 cylinder to glue me to the seat. It 🤯 because I didn't know 4-cylinders had that much potential. Before I found RUclips.
Love this build. The look, the sound. Just beautiful
Larry "Always" finding the Enthusiast!
Thank You Larry !
I really think that it is time for all the proper celicas to take a better place in the JDM world. Fantastic built and awesome owner.... Many greetings from Greece! 🇬🇷! Larry keep documenting these great cars...
18:07 DSX Super Taikyu sighting.
I used to own a blue 92 ST model and loved it even though it didn't have a lot of power. The car was just absolutely fun to drive. Miss mines
My 91 GT-Four is such a pain in the ass I haven't touched it in 4 years, I just keep buying and selling other toys as it sits there at the end of the garage and stares at me, being broken and shit
I am rebuilding a stock 93' ST. What is the best way to restore the rubber and plastic outside trim pieces that are cracked? You can't find replacements.
I had an original 1990 GT , and the GT Four / all-trac were my dreams cars. That being said the GT was a great car for me. I had 2 15" woofers in the hatch too!
Great video about a classic from the 90’s. I remembered seeing these everywhere in Japan. They were actually very popular there. Congratulations and off to the next video.
The legend himself. Clayton.
WOW! I love this car...
since I prefer sportcar, I rather have Toyota Celica GT-Four, but if you prefer Hot-Hatch you might love GR Yaris
same case if you love sedan or coupe, you probably love Lancer Evolution or Subaru Imprezza WRX STi coupe
That is definitly crossing the 300hp line. The stock Caldina is 265 allready...
I've got an st205 and would love it if you bring one onto the channel. Super underated JDM car.
With this car you're getting rally lessons. Or better, wait 25 years and get a GR Yaris. Both are great ones. Congrats.
I Love Celica since Young,, it's the Car of My Preference,,The New Series it's Wonderfull,,I Wants One Red.🎁🥳🚗🚘🚗 Are There Something Diferent From The Last Series? Loved Celica.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
My dad had a Carlos Sainz, he said I'd inherit it eventually.
Then he sold it for a Cayman GTS... So disappointed.
"a gen II 3sgte... kind of like an archaic version of the engine..."
Jesus. Been through two SW20 MR2 turbos. Stripped both engines down to the block back in the day. Never realized how long ago that was.
Then I heard this. That's the moment I realized i'm old.
This gen Celica is one of the prettiest cars ever, loved em since they came out when I was a kid, watching rally coverage on BBC. Stunning
Ah, it's my favorite generation of Celica. A shame they didn't sell more AWD variants of it than they did.
Lovely car but the 185 was a heavy beast (>1700kgs if I remember rightly). I loved my 182 (2wd with the 2nd gen 3SGE).
1390kg
I love this car so much, but we need to let her go.
If someone is looking for a real fresh 1991 original carlos sainz let me know, we would also import it to the states if someone overseas want it.
Its complete stock beside wheels, coilovers and exhaust. All oem parts are available for sure.
Just wanna say I love this 185. Good choice of car Larry and congrats to owner. Cheers
You're free to check out my ST165 with Gen 3 3SGTE engine swap if you're ever in the UK, Larry.
Hi I didn't really understand the modification made to the st 185 with the lexus ct200
there's too much interest in ST185/205s lately and that's bad for my attempts to buy one...
eu não vou expressar o meu inglês porque é mau! mas eu gostaria de salientar que o dono deste carro tem um maquinão ! foi campeão do mundo de ralis em 1992 e deu o título de campeão mundial de pilotos a Didier oriol em 94 este carro teve o seu fim no ano 2000 quando a Toyota decidiu fazer um campeonato com o nome célica cup matando assim o seu carro que deu 4 títulos a própria Toyota nomeadamente em 1989/90 com Carlos sains 1992 Carlos sains 1994 com Didier Oriol e em 1997 outra vez com Didier Oriol
Whoops... did not mean to be in the beginning conversation clips so much lol. Forgot what mm you would be shooting on for that. Car was so cool though!
GR Yaris is based on daily shopping car for European middle-aged poor lady.
GT Four is born sports.
Why do people insist on recreating history the gr yaris evolved from the previous yaris/echo/vitz toyota wanted a car for the wrc and so they built it the celica has nothing to do with a gr yaris fucking nice cars both but not the same not related not even closely
Awesome.
My st185 has a rear lsd diff
Maybe it's an Australian fitment.
How can I get in contact with John to get more information on the modified Celica ST185 ball joints?
wtf is with people putting dreams on everything?
Just got an ST185R myself, I am very keen to get in touch and discuss the wiring options for the caldina motor (I’ve planned exactly this swap), brakes and also front upright mods.
Thanks for show this car i LOVE It and i have 2 celicas that celica are amazing👏👏👏
Iv always loved these cars! I wish there was more support for them! 👌
Lucky the sw20 is popular otherwise the knowledge base online would be minimal. Least motor and tuning wise
Damn Im in the Austin area and COTA isn't that far I wish I knew about this
It's a cool car but some things look off to me. The front wheels are not centered in the wheel well. But yeah for a 30 year old car its awesome.
Shouldn't the owner be strapped in??? LMFAO🤦🤔💯
My second car, bought New turbo AWD black lots of fun.
Im a F**king idiot for getting rid of mine for $5000 😢
Please Larry, get an ST165 and make them more popular
26,000 built global, not production really
Omg Soo Lucky!!! Beautiful Car My Dream!!
i need this car as my wallpaper please upload the preview picture thankssssssssss
Have seen this build progress over the years and has always been just amazing during every phase!
They got at USA only 1457 car GT4 Celica
I have a 3sgte 5th gen. St246. It needs tuning bad though.
It's actually the fx16 gts or toyota conquest 😊.
By far my favourite Toyota. I don't really love the Supra, the engine can make big power but it doesn't sound great, wasn't that great to drive and even with big power they're not actually great.
These, however, are incredible. Super not cheap, though. Prices have shot up in the last few years
So... does he sell these suspension parts for the GT-Four?
Front end and bonnet is from the rarest of the rare models, as he mentioned, the Carlos Sainz edition.
I would like to see a video on the lexus sc300
Beautiful build! I picked up a 1990 AllTrac last week that's in dire need of some TLC. Can't wait to get her back to her former glory. Greatly appreciate the info, I'll be using some of it for my build ;)
now this is what I'm talking about. Finally some publicity for this car. ST165 owner here!
I used to go through lots of hubs and wheel bearings on the front,
Bro bro bro !!! I love that car, I have one at my house 1990 GT4 ALL TRACK 2 years ago and I have not been able to start it. I always sit on it to dream that I drive it. Thanks for the video
ive got an st202 limited edition that im just dressing up currently but im told putting a beams engine in it is worth the money and effort so thats my next goal
WELL DO IT LIVE!!! F*** IT!!!! 😂
I caught that reference too! HAHAHA Scanned the comments just for that
It is a dragon... made me spit a lil bit i laughed so hard.
This is my favorite car in the world!!! I had a 93 gt a Long time ago. Love the video I bow to the owner but you should I've drive with the pop up headlight up its way cooler.
I passed up a cheap Canadian spec ST185 because it had rotten rockers and I regret it. I've been thinking about getting one of these for a long time, such an awesome car!
My friend had one it lit on fire on the interstate and it was totaled
This makes my T18 base spec non widebody 4 banger look like nothing
13:50 I got the exact same car key, why is it like this 🤔
I might be wrong, but I believe my dad had a Celica of this generation (started form) when I was younger, always kinda liked it. Been wanting to get one for years but now that's probably not possible.
Best jdm cars imo
1.mk3 supra
2.celica gt4
3.mr2
4. S13 240sx
5. Ek9 hatch
Holy cow that is the bomb.........it's hard to find these in this condition in the UK....fair play, great build 🤩🎉🎊🏁
Stop making my dream cars popular!
By now my Celica has been with me for 20 years, I bought it used in 2003.
Never had any kind of problem with mechanics or electronics, extraordinary car, low consumption with the 7AFE.
Only problem...I can't find new seals for the windows, to stay with me for another 20 years.😄
Is there a link to the build of this car?
Brilliant to see a GTFour as a former Celica 2004 231 model love the GT Four cars so amazing the sound was brilliant with the blows off here.
