The Celica is one of the few cars where I would be happy to own any generation of Celica. The 3rd and 6th gen Celicas are kind of a dream build for me, but every Celica has its potential.
6th Gen is my personal favorite but I feel that completely
I have a 1993 I wanna sell. Gt
I’ve got a 2003 celica gt as my daily right now. But when I get a new daily I want to project my celica and make it extremely sexy and surpass is older brothers
I love my Celica! Its definitely a car that makes you fall in love despite it being slow. But that can be remedied by importing a GT4 for big money
The Celica is great, no matter which one you get, I love the 5th gen to death but any Celica is a dream. Had the chance to get a 7th gen but it was way to expensive to make sense as I need for at least 5 years as a daily for university.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Celicas. I have 2 Celica GT's from 2001. One I had since 2005 second owner. The other I rescued and saved from the junkyard and is now my show car. Best cars I have ever had.
finally someone who appreciates the celica. my dad used to have so many celicas but he left me a 7th gen celica zr
As much as I like the concept of the 7th gen, in my opinion its just too watered down from its legacy
@@darthnosam3313 how
@@slimtrvper5542 people like to think that the gt4s are the base standard even though they're super rare homologation cars and so keep comparing the 7th gen celicas to them even though they're clearly not rally homologations. and then they proceed to ignore the fact that the 7th gen celicas are the fastest standard celicas around because """hurrr durr gt4 fasturrrrr""""
@@mappies123 can confirm even the 2.0 3sge n/a that were sold in europe kinda suck ass it should have more power but it's boring af
@@cristianseminario7899 Bruh. For most people they had more than enough power. The 1.8 and 1.6 liter versions were the "boring" ones even though they were fun to drive, too.
Bravo for sticking up for the 7th Generation Celis! I'm a very active 76-yr-old woman who just bought my dream car -- a 2001 Celi GT with 32,000 miles on it. Incredibly great shape, original owner always kept it garaged, drove it only in summer. I fully realize I have died and gone to Celi Heaven by finding this car. I have no plans to sell my '95 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x (298,750 miles), since I do a lot of off-road exploring and boondock camping. So, the Jeep for serious road trips, the Celi for play and plain foolishness 😉
This is probably your best video in this particular series. People generally just don't understand this car's history and they don't respect that times really do change. Blessings bro, I love the content.
Thank you so much man. I’m really happy you like it and I hope it opens more people’s eyes to this hidden gem
The pic u used to introduce urself 😂
I have been saving up for months to get a 7th Gen Celica as my first-ever car. Fingers crossed everything will go as planned🤞
Praying for you bro
That's funny, I started saving recently. Repost here when you do, I plan to get mine end of next year. Goodluck buddy
@@danielmwila8548 Good luck to you as well brother. Hopefully the car will be reasonably priced when our time comes
dont. trust me, i did
I have mine still. Its a fun little car. Replaced it with a brz. I like both for different reasons
I’m a core Honda guy and I have nothing but respect for the Celica. It’s a great car, it’s great looking and it has great efficiency. Most of all it can be driven hard it does well when it’s wrung out
I Had a 6th gen celica that my father gave me as a gift for my 18th birthday, unfortunately I had to sell it because I needed the money, I cried when it was gone. Now years later I hope to buy one again, that car gives me nostalgia. It was a wonderful car.
Shame on you
My 7th Gen GT has 303.000 km on the original engine and transmission and each time you start still says "GOOO!". And the design was so good, people who doesnt know the car still judge its age wrong, by a lot. I simply love how Toyota combined price, economy, design, performance and reliability so well.
the Celica gt-four ST205 is literally my dream car because of how my lifestyle is, it’s a car I can take on the road, the track, and even through the scrappier areas of the American road system because it’s an awd Toyota sports car
I've owned a 6th gen Celica GT for nearly 4 years now, and from a daily standpoint, its literally perfect, it's sporty enough to have fun around corners yet spacious enough on the inside to still be very practical. Not to mention the interior setup is genuinely perfect as all the controls point towards the driver similar to the MK4 Supra's interior, just slightly less aggressive
Someone totaled my 6th gen GT last year, everything you said is absolutely true. Please enjoy the hell out of yours for me
Have you driven an 6th gen st and if you have what is a major difference besides power?
@Dkmo94 Damn man I'm sorry to hear that, I've been lucky but I've been trying to drive it less to prevent that happening because I don't know what I'd do without my car.
@eVerProductions1 I have not, but the only difference really should just be power, but with how light the car is, 20hp makes a big difference. Not saying the GT is fast by any means lol, modern minivans are faster than my car 💀
I bought mine@April 2022...so glad that i can enjoy the final edition Yamaha Tuned 2ZZ of Celicas from Japan...❤from🇲🇾
Got my celica in red with moonroof (UK) and low miles earlier this year will be year. Going from a red mk2 and mk3 mr2, needed a slightly bigger car with back seats. Why not continue the tradition with a red celica.. Massive boot, sporty looking, nice cockpit, fitted a nice exhaust. Top car. Will watch this video later tonight
That's wassup keep celicas alive
As someone who drives a 01 GTS it makes me smile to see other people praising the celica for what it was. Thank you for this amazing content
I own a 02 GT-S and it's fantastic. Before that, my first car was a 04 GT. Both amazing. I love this car with all my heart.
Bro I’m luck because I have Toyota celica gt 1981-1982 coupe. I didn't know about the treasure I have in my garage until I watched this video thank you very much for the ❤information
Blimey, you’ve begun a Celica fan club. We’ll done !
I have a little blue 2000 celica Gt and I will say even though it’s not the most powerful car. I definitely do still love it and is my favorite that I have owned so far
Sometimes going being fast is not everything u gotta live the car that's all that matters I got a slow car thats a toyota people laugh but I love it and it's hooked up as well
You can get a pontiac vibe all wheel drive , swap over needed parts,"which are all toyota parts" and you can make yours an all wheel drive car.
only reason I clicked on this video is because I love the Celica. and i have no regret, love this video man. thank you
I had an '82 GT liftback Black Package and loved it! At the time I had a long drive to work over rural back country roads so I upgraded the lighting. I installed SEV Marchal non-sealed beam 100W high beam, 60W low beam, Off-Road race/rally headlamps, foglamps, and 100W pencil beam driving lights. On the way to work I would turn on to a long flat road that was 4.5 miles long. If I turned on the high beams and the 100W pencil beams I could see the stop sign at the T intersection at the end of the road. More importantly, I could see the deer in the fields on either side. My nickname for this Celica was "The Deer Hunter" - In total it killed two deer and seriously bruised another.
Been a Toyota guy since I got the Mark 3 and drove it to the first fast and furious movie. Spent a few years setting up Honda tombstones before everyone learned how to tune and build properly. Owned Celicas, Carola's, IS 300, solaras, Cressidas, trucks, and finally my daily Hilux today. Love the history of these vehicles. Great job Mark. You changing the game with your content!
I got my 7th gen Celica in early 2013 (Ten yrs ago now), as R title. It was "totaled" by insurance, original owner wanted rid of it.
I seen a car I could fix up...
Now 35 mpg regularly, well over 250k miles, runs smoothly at any speed, 23yr old car; longest lasting car I've ever had!
Forgot to mention, in 1995 Toyota got a 1yr ban from the WRC at Catalunya, for using illegal turbo restrictors... which pretty much had huge impact on what became of the 7th gen...
Always loved the celica and now that I'm older looking for one in decent condition is a pain in the ass but still looking for a good one. Great video
As an Owner of a 1992 Celica gti (5th gen) i want to thank you ! Celicas are awesome !
Ay wassup same car owner
@@iant1891 ig my boy ?
I got my '01 GT for 3.5k and it's in great condition. For that price, I can stand to put in that much more and bring it back. So much fun to drive, and I consider myself a muscle car guy.
The gt-s is so much quicker and more fun. 40+ more hp. But it's a great car regardless
My first car was an 03 celica that I got for $2k with 90k miles and it was the most fun I’ve ever had, I now have an s197 mustang with way more HP but still miss the little celica and regret selling it.
I enjoyed my 1980 Celica and my 2000 Celica. Both where a blast to drive.
I bought the 7th gen some time ago and i gotta say, i hope it lasts. This is the most fun and comfy car i've ever driven, the handling is just so nice, it has a special feel to it, plus to me it looks amazingly good.
What year? I have a 2003 and I've had it since 2004. It has never given me any problems.
@@GR-le1ms It's a 2000 with the 1zze made by toyota.
Just about to jump in my little red 93 Toyota Celica GT convertible five speed... she is fun to drive here on the back roads of North Florida and shes still great on ⛽....
I also have a 93 white Celica Convertible 5 speed. Very fun car.
I’ve got myself one for over 4 years now. It’s a t sport 2003 the best car ever and it handles so well. I will never sell, I love it.
I love the 7th gen gts. Fun as heck on the winding mountain roads. I love the look and handling. My only gripe is how much it cost to get more hp from the engine. I'll live with 200 stage 1 and stay there.
I have a 1st gen and 2nd gen no one cares about the 2nd but I freakin love it completely grew on me
I've owned 2 Celicas in my life. A 1983 5-speed and a 1991 5-speed. The 83' was my beater car but I still loved as a high schooler. The 91' was my college and post-college car which I added a lot of aftermarket parts to, and generally had a ton of fun with. Good times. Since then I've owned 2 Corollas.
no way, bought a 6th gen celica just the other week (albeit an ST202 rather then the st205) and then this video comes out - even the more base models of these cars are super fun to drive and the exhaust sounds awesome when you chuck a massive muffler on the end. You didnt talk about how legendary the 3SGTE/3SGE engine really is, whcih is one of the better selling points imo - the red BEAMS engine is one hell of an engine and is super fun and responsive.
Man I wish the US market got the 3sge in the GT models but all we got was the 5sfe which has a measly 130hp straight out of a low spec camry, I bet the only reason Toyota gave the US the 5sfe was because it had a 2.2L displacement, and they knew Americans care a lot about the number of L and that Americans wouldn't pay the GT premium when it only adds 0.2L despite adding almost 60hp over the 1.8L 7afe making 110hp (I have the 7afe in my 6gen which has a little bit of character but pretty pitiful). Japan rarely gives the US its truly special cars/engines, but gladly gives it to rest of the markets!
@@darthnosam3313 yeah mine makes just below 200hp at 197hp, its super fun to drive and the engine sound is awesome. and just like many cars in NZ its a Japanese import on top of that, which although is quite common in NZ is pretty cool for other countries
@@aydenfellerhoff3160 If you own a BEAMS Celica then I think all of them would be imports as they only made them in Japan :)
@@BennyJ69 in new zealand a lot of our japanese cars are imports :) we have one honda factory that shut down and i dont know if theres anything else
The 1st gen celica is an incredible car! Will fit a small block Ford and 8 inch rear... damn I miss that car... my baby stang. Some day, will do it again!
Don't know about you guys, but my stock 2001 GT out ran some Chargers and Mustangs on the streets. Maybe they were too scared about damaging their cars. Hell I even did 120 with a cop at 2am, that was pretty neat. Whatever the case, I call that a win.
I remember back in the day Sport Compact Car Magazine (RIP 😢) said the 7th gen cars had possibly the best FWD suspension geometry.
I rarely see them on the road anymore. Sad how many cool car seem to have disappeared.
I had a 4th gen All-Trac and a 7th gen GT-S. Both really underrated and misunderstood, both really truly great cars!
I've always loved the look of classic American muscle/pony cars like the Challenger and the Mustang, but I've always wanted something smaller that maintains the same vibe. Imagine my shock when Toyota of all brands has something perfect for me in the 1st gen lift back Celica
Small correction, the 5th Gen Celica (2nd Gen GT4) by winning 3 WRC driver's titles and 2 WRC Manufacturer's titles was Toyota's winningest car and the one that made the Castrol livery popular among rally fans, not the 6th Gen Celica (3rd Gen GT4). The 6th Gen Celica (3rd Gen GT4), was also set for glory. It came close to winning the 1994 WRC Championship but was caught with a modification in the turbo restrictor in Rally Catalunya, which banned Toyota from the WRC. Upon inspection, the FIA president considered the cheat "the most ingenious thing" he had ever seen in 30 years. This made the car known among some fans as the "banned one"
Great video nonetheless
Thank you for pointing out the oart about the celica being banned, that had alot to do with its death
what was the modification in the turbo
I'm going to own a GT Four some day.
I had a 7th gen GT and loved every minute behind the wheel. It was fun to drive and I hope to someday get a GTS.
7th gen is arguably the best one. Surprised you didn't mention the 2ZZ-GE engine, as it was so good that Lotus used it in the Elise for half a decade until Toyota simply had no more of the engine to give. Cylinder head designed by Yamaha, cam phasing at 6,000 RPM, redline at 8,300RPM, safely revs to 10,000RPM by only changing out the valve springs. 7th gen weighs 2500 pounds, 700 less than the 6th gen GT-FOUR... that is two super sport motorcycles. Power to weight ratio wise, this means the least powerful 2ZZ-GE 7th gen with 180hp (it was 190hp everywhere else in the world) is only slightly less powerful than the most powerful 6th gen GT-FOUR, 144hp/ton vs. 157hp/ton, and in 2006 Japan got a 200hp 2ZZ-GE which would be 160hp/ton. That 700 pounds makes a massive difference in handling also, as there aren't even really any cars that were made at the time or made since that weighed so little. Even the modern Mini Cooper S and Fiesta ST weigh at least 200 pounds more. I guarantee that the 7th gen will EAT the 6th gen around turns on dry pavement. All of that and it still has four airbags.
I've owned various vehicles over many years including an NA MX-5, B7 RS4, and various super sport motorcycles. My 2004 Celica GT-S is my favorite car that I've ever owned!
valve springs are not enough to rev to 10k safely, and the 200hp trd sports m was made in 2000. and not every 7th gen has air bags, japanese models dont but you can get factory LSD and superstrut
@@arcanevoid9199 Yeah I mean, if you break it down logically you at least also need some tuning to get rid of the fuel cut off and to hope to actually make power, but AFAIK only the springs need to be upgraded so as to prevent valve float. Not many people are only going to upgrade springs while they are in there though. If there are some Celicas without airbags then I'm guessing they weigh even less than the claimed 2500 lbs of my US market model... but that is not a car I would want to drive daily. :P
@@RedlineVulpine you need a bit more then that, oil pressure also becomes an issue. oh I meant no side air bags not no air airbags
Best looking body style of any sports car under $100K since.
@@techhpro Much like the ones before it, it was way ahead of its time. It basically still looks modern aside from the headlights not having 100 LEDs in them. The 5th generation Celica was styled after the curves of a woman apparently, and if you look at the price range of a 1990 Celica, anything else looks like a cube. Probably one of the most underrated cars in the USA, IMO. MAny people in the USA just don't understand cars like this!
So i have since feb. 2022 the 7th gen pre face and besides the Engine broke down due to lose of oil im rebuilding it after my Apprentice finals next week and will build it as good as new, and even in Germany the car is a rare one and attracts the looks of many ppl ^^ great vid btw
rebuild it better than new, they dont loose oil for no reason. did you take it on track or something?
I learned to drive manual in my dads 83 gt Celica I really miss that car. It was something special.
I’m 50. My first car was a 90 Celica GT 5spd. I learned how to drive on this car and loved it. Until I got smoked by an Eagle talon “turbo” I unfortunately didn’t know I was racing a turbo car 😢 I can only hope the rumors are true and they bring back the celica for 2025. It better be awd or rwd cuz I’ll buy it!!
Great video btw!!
Now the 7th gen Celicas are skyrocketing in Price. Celica GT-S's are getting even more expensive and hard to find, although they weren't as liked as much as the previous generations it's still has that 2zz powa.
Yeah it kinda sucks but it makes sense
Not really out here in Cali 7th gen GTS sells for 4K
@@kerokerobonito3664 Celicas are a dime a dozen over in cali, that isnt the case here in Florida sadly.
Had a Corolla XRS before it got wrecked. One of the funnest cars I’ve ever owned has the Celica GTS drivetrain.
They are getting rare and very slim pickens on the market for a decent one. Hardly ever see on the road anymore. Especially a decent one. Best looking body style of any sports car since in it’s price class.
Thanks for the video I think it’s a very underrated platform. I have a 5th gen and 6th gen both with full gt4 conversion’s definitely head turners everywhere I go .
Yeah they are fun cars I feel like even corolla get more respect now which is bogus
AE86 FTW.
In the 70s, some chevy camaros in California had 90hp, because of the regulations. Most other in the states had 115-140ish if I remeber correctly. All cars were underpowered then
5th gen, ST185 is the rally monster and iconic winning Celica that brought WRC Drivers and Manufacturers cups to a Japan manufacturer for the first time. 6th gen, ST205 had a few stage wins, but no championships and got Toyota banned for the turbo restrictor cheat.
My first car was an '01 Celica and I loved that thing.
Top tip: if you want your 7th generation Celica to really handle properly, pull the C64 gearbox out, strip it down, and swap the open differential for the hellical LSD from the last generation MR2. It goes straight in, and, with some decent aftermarket coil overs (aim to lower the car approx 35mm), you'll find yourself driving something not dissimilar to an Integra Type R. Go on, try it, it's great 👍
isnt celica c60 not 64? and wouldnt you be better off buying a new quaife lsd instead? also some 7th gen celicas have a facory lsd, and i would say a superstrut 7th gen is alot more like a integra type r
@@arcanevoid9199 No, here in the UK I believe it's the C64 in both models of Celica, which was also used by Lotus, in the Elise. I pulled one out of a standard vvti Celica, back in the summer and did that diff swap (at least that's what the workshop manual listed my 6 speed box as). Anyway, those diffs are interchangeable into any of the C series gearboxes (5 and 6 speed variants alike). The decision not to use the Quaife LSD, was a combination of cost and the fact that those Toyota LSD's are well regarded for being very robust and they work beautifully. If you search about, they do come up for sale here and there, and it can save you £500 (enough to cover the price of a stage 3 clutch and lightweight fly wheel, which you might as well do, while you're at it), on top of which, if the bearings on the LSD are in good shape, that can also save you quite a bit of money over the Quaife option, just don't try to swap your open diff bearings over, to save on buying shims, as it's very easy to wreck them, no matter how careful you are with your bearing puller (don't ask me how I know that 🙄). As car mods go, it's got to be the best bang for your bucks, as you really notice the difference, powering out of corners. I am told those diffs transfer up to 70 percent of the power to whichever wheel is finding the most grip, and, after driving the car extensively before and after the swap, I have no reason to doubt that.
Well damn, I want a Celica now. Great video and history lesson.
get one, they're kind of cheap when it comes to JDM classics and just a lot of fun in general.
Great video, thanks for uploading!👍
Here's a bit of a story about Celica appreciation, I bought a 1983 Celica when I was a 19 cause I thought it was the same as a Celica-Supra...it's not. Some years later I bought a 1990 Mk3 Supra, from a guy in WA in 2015, and when I came to pick it up he said he was selling it cause he needed cash to finish his 1976 Celica and the Supra didn't run. I got to see it in progress and I literally asked him if he would sell me the Celica instead of the Supra.
I bet most people today couldn't imagine going to buy a Supra and when you get there asking to buy the Celica instead lol. I still have the Supra though, and for $2,500 I couldn't really pass it up. Mostly because it's high mileage and needed an engine, but minor body dings but no rust at all. Now with a 1JZgte (from 7Mgte), reupholstered interior, suspension, brakes, wheels & tires, upgrades to outdated tech and because it's a US model(LHD) it's worth about $20,000-$25,000. I might still buy a Celica one day though.
My first car was a rusty 1977 Celica GT 5 spd. A few years later I bought a 1981 Celica GT 5 spd. That was a great car, put a bunch of kms on it. Sold it and bought it back a few years later.
Skip ahead 25+ years, I bought a 2003 Celica GT 5 spd, but it wasn't what I wanted as it was a bit too cobbled together. Got rid of it.
Now I have a 2003 rust free Celica GT TRD 5 spd that doesn't see winter, and minimum rain. It's fun, corners great, more power than the old ones, even though it doesn't have much power compared to everything else on the road today, but I don't care. Celica never was about hugh power, with the exception of the turbo models. Supra was the model with hp.
Celicas were always sporty-looking, decent handling, reliable, and good on gas cars that were fun to drive and to look at.
"Make RX-7s cry" love the enthusiasm when that was said
Loved this video, Toyota Celica the unfinished symphony
The 7th Gen Celica actually has 190hp in Europe and Japan. Only the US market got the down tuned 180hp
I just picked up my 2003 gts! it’s sick! still pretty stock but give me a year and it will be glorious
Currently rebuilding a 7g gts. Yeah, sure the Honda can be faster for cheaper and it doesn’t have the mmc cylinders but the Celica is more fun and engaging than the rsx in my opinion. Sure the rsx type s can smoke it but I think the 7g gts is the most fun commuter car.
Hondas are more expensive to get into than celicas with how prices are now, it’s not much slower than an rsx type s. not really a commuter car
@@arcanevoid9199 we’re talking about a car I own and love, no need to get defensive. A k20 can make more power na than a 2zz on a lower budget. It’s fact. If I was insecure about my Celica and what it can do then I wouldn’t have multiple engines and boxes of parts in my garage. And I wouldn’t be working on a massive build/ restoration. I get that the Celica is an entry level sports car but that doesn’t mean it’s not a great commuter car. You get a balance of comfort, handling and performance that lends itself to being one of the best daily drivers you could find. But a lot of cars are faster and that is ok.
@@ghostbeatpp1 i agree 100% which is why I have a Celica and not an rsx. I have driven both and I prefer the Celica. I imagine that when I get a helical lsd in the Celica I will never have interest in another car. The handling is already insane. I’m also thinking coilovers would reduce that front end lift feeling under serious acceleration.
My grandfather owned a convertible (auto) turbo. It was pretty snazzy
"GT4" sounds coooooll
Help to note that Scion brought back the Toyota Celica. The Scion TC. And some variations were offered in AWD but in Japan.
This was a really cool video! Thanks!
7th gen is best looking body style of any sports car under $100K.
my celica was my graduation gift in back in 02. its a 2001 celica gt its automatic even though i would have adored a 5 speed. its a great driving car each to work on great on gas an it has more than enough get up an go in an out of traffic merging on interstate im not an aggressive driver
I have an 06 jdm Celica. last year made with 31k miles, Recaro seat and HKS exhaust :) it's fun!
Was in the position to buy a 7th gen Celica but it had over 400.000km on the counter... did came with all the maintainence history but I passed on it. Instead I bought a Mazda 3 sedan 1st gen 2.0lt with have the km's. That 7th gen Celica looked pretty good up close tho...
my 6th gen is an underpowered lil toaster box but I still love it. thank you for making this video!
I like how similar the evolution in design of the celica and the supra is, even after supra became it's own thing
7th Gen poor thing gets way too much hate. If a person has never had a chance to drive a GTS model they should, it would change people's mind about it. It's such a fun car in its own right.
The 1st gen liftback looks beasty
first car was a datsun 310 my brother gave me an 82 celica and I was hooked, sold and bought an 83 rx7 but came back to own a whopping 7 toyota supras I still have 2 in storage that I got around 99' 3 thousand now worth 50 thousand
FINELY a celica video from you
I have a 5th gen and i absolutely love it
Didn't expect to listen to Skyrim music whilst watching a video of my favorite car, but I'm here for it :)
Skyrim music pluss Celica history, i find this to be a good thing.
Great vid. I have a 97 GT Celica manual. This car is so fun to drive
The background music is dope.
I have a 5th gen. I personally think the 5th gen GT4’s r the best celicas EVER
The suspension is great. Sutaible for Offroad.
Didn’t expect to hear Skyrim music on a car video lmao.
It’s so faint, but any Skyrim player will recognize that music at any frequency 😂
I was scrolling.
Found this and watched the whole thing.
👍👍
I daily drive a 92 celica gt.
Completely stock.
Aside from the 17 inch rims I acquired from a 2006 scion tc
(Yes they rub😎)
I'll definitely be watching your future content. Do your thing my guy.
Peace
#CelicaGang
Also worthy of note is that the 3rd Gen Celica in Group B was also called the King of Africa due to it not breaking in the Ivory Coast Rallies haha.
The Celeca GT4 at 09:52 sounds angry as hell, I love it!
7th gen was my first car and I cried after I had to sell her... I'll have to get another one
Thank you mark, been asking foreverr, ive owned a 7th gen celica for a couple years, and my first car was a red 5th gen convertible:)
Might want to add a typo correction. You said 2.6L inline 4 at 3:28, it was the 4M-E which was an inline 6. Still great to see videos appreciating this once mega seller. If you look back to 85, 86, etc you can see it sold crazy numbers for an import sports car.
The Delta HF was the successor to the Group B monster of the Delta S4 the difference is staggering but yea the HF is the 90s one
My favorite car to this day is the 78 Celice GT liftback.
Every Celica owner's dream was to own a GT4 or swap a 3SGTE in a 6gen. Unfortunately I used to own a slow ass ST trip back in the day.
The last part got me crying . I love celica ❤
