Footage from a cold, wet and super slippery trackday in January 2020 at Silverstone GP in the Clio 172 and StringTheoryGarage's Celica.
We were never quite sure how much fun we'd have on the big, flat, open tarmac of the Silverstone Grand Prix track in sub 200bhp cars, but it turns out that as long as you have a friend in a car that's the same pace then you can basically have one massive race. It was HUGE fun, especially with such little grip leading to some tasty sideways moments that we were surprised we got away with!

Bloody love a 2zz such a underrated engine
Not underrated in the Mk1/3 MR2 community!
@@EngineeringAndRestoration it's an underrated engine over all, brilliant engine
It's the Lotus engine. I'm curious about what mods it has because the Celica is a car you don't commonly see on the track.
Edit: He put the mods in the description. Basic stuff except for the cam upgrade ,I'm curious about the ECU tuning done to the car.
Pretty cool that he swapped in the master Cylinder from a Toyota Avensis.
@@SI0AX I don't think it's mapped, doesn't rev any higher lifts coming in at the same point
Up there with the k20 imo. Great engine with a lot of pull for less than 200hp.
This is the same Celica that everyone has been talking shit about? It looks pretty stout on the track.
I have one of these and I can tell you it"s a highly underrater car. A really nice weekend ride and also a pretty fun playing machine.
@@vendelrichter7247 Too bad it's FWD, so half of the car is just useless weight.
@@SparrowNoblePoland its only 1100 kgs though not too bad
if you want a diff in that celica. all mk3 MR2s came standard with a torsen diff which drops straight into the 6 speed celica gearbox 👍
misterLukeG got a spare gearbox ready for when I spot a super bargain lsd to drop in it 👌
I thought that was only an optional extra ?
@@danbrown3026 Nope. Torsen diff is standard on all UK spec MK3 MR2s
This makes me want a mk3 mr2...
This duo is actually gold
Great fun guys. Still missing the 306 tho. 😊
Thanks man! Don't worry, the 306 will be back later in the year!
how does the Celia compare to the 306?
Marko Novak one of the 1st videos I saw
And all of a sudden... I'm in love with my Celica again 😁
Same! I'm thinking of going for a more powerful car but bun that, the celica is perfect for daily life and occasional fun at a track!
@@charliecouzins7652 Same here also ! I got one as daily for 4 years, it was just very good car ! We all go one day for more powerful !
Me....❤ clio...forever 😀😀😀
Thanks for rhe video's. Its fun to people who understand what a French chassis is
Iv got a rs220 clio and all I get is "HoWs ThE ElEcTrIcS" get the bin you knob 🚮
@@jimmyking1205 HoWs ThE ElEcTrIcS?
Wil you need the 172
@@EthanolEnthusiast same applies to you mate. Get in the bin you knob
Most of the time i am not the biggest fan of french cars, but they do make amazing hot hatchbacks.
Samir, you're breaking the car! Listen to me!
I had a Clio 182 for a short time - this sounds the same - sounds so rough at high revs and always felt like it was about to blow up at anytime, even if they're reliable. I know the Toyota is revving higher, but sounds a lot better.
Wich sounds better, the Clio or the Toyota? You have been ambiguous in the end.
Read, the toyota.
I think the clio has a pure yet aggressive sound, I like it a lot whereas the toyota is more sophisticated but lacks that "rumble". But I see where you are coming from.
French build quality makes me wanna puke
@@SCL2EAM_X I quite like the 182 I had, nice spec for a small hatch and refined enough for daily driving. It just never felt right to thrash it though, where my 205GTI with an Mi16 engine just felt the opposite.
Haha you two are hilarious. I just love how you lift off oversteer everywhere and laugh at each other, was cracking me up. 😂😂 When’s your next track day? I wanna join!!
I know these are budget track cars but if that celica had a quaife it would be sooooo much quicker. Either way I spent the entire video with a smile on my face. Keep it up👍
Exactly ! With a good LSD it would be even more nice. The JDM version of this celica was sold with a LSD on the super strut model. Such a pity we didnt get this model in Europe !
Stick an lsd from any mk3 mr2 into celica box, it's a straight fit and all UK spec mk3 mr2 come with a limited slip diff
172: Let's put some street tyres on the back for more fun😂
Believe it or not, in these conditions the street tyres on the rear were more grippy than the semi slicks which we couldn't get any heat in to.
@@CamberandCombustion makes sense of course but the 1st thought was "fun fun fun" 😁
U could allways increase rear tire pressure
Brilliant video! I just bought yet another Toyota with a 2ZZ, this time a T-Sport in the same colour as the one in the video... I am tempted to do a little more with it, coilovers and sticky rubber would be a start, but it actually corners pretty great on a set of Eibach springs. Really underrated cars.
Let them be under rated, i don't want another overpriced japanese car
Amazing the amount of fun you guys have. You could literally convince anyone to get into track days
Hi Guys. First time watching your channel. It really made me laugh and smile seeing two mates have so much fun. Some well caught over steers. Well done, keep it up.
Top video, looked like a right laugh 😂
Love all the shenanigans you C&C boys get up to! Hope to see you guys on track one day 👍
A battle with a Integra DC2....When??.
Best regards from Spain.
Still have my clio 172 stored away. Best fun i had with a car great memories.
Watching this again during the lock down. It's 's just what you need seeing the amount of fun and skills you guys have. As a former 306 owner I miss the 306 content. Mine had bilstein yellow b8's with uprated sxara torsion bars and it could give the clios a run for their money. The lift off oversteer was always on tap. Always look forward to see your vids come up on RUclips, you guys are hilarious behind the wheel. 👍😁
You guys are mental, love it! Keep having fun and keep posting the videos. 😌
0:38 *POP*
*Laughs*
Me lol
Almost sounds like VTEC: 1:44
@@CelicaAutocrosser 1:44 clio
@@Mabro29 Didn't realize it was the other car. :) Sadly I was waiting to hear that from the Celica instead.
I think it may be the Celica in front of him though. It has that same tone when they cut into the Celica. Sounds like they started the Celica sound before they cut to the video of the Celica driver.
it is the toyota fully accelerating while going half throttle due to overtaking before :) btw the vvtli system of toyota is basically the same as the vtec afaik, greets
mikio that’s what I thought. It sounds like mine and I know that tone anywhere. It’s just the way they edited it.
Toyota starts the lift later than Honda. So it starts at 6200 thru 8250 which is the redline, depending on the year as well.
THAT is what trackdays are about. Flat out on the limit fun with your mates!!!
Wow that looked like so much fun. you guys had me laughing the whole time. Super big respect to the clio for battling it out with the Celica. that Celica revs soooo nice!!!! And the slides were awesome!!!!!
Ah this is great. I sold my celica a few months back after 10 years of ownership. Great cars 😎. I bought a civic type r to replace it. It’s good but think I still prefer the celica
Love the Celica, looks and sound fantastic.
This video made me chuckle 😅 2 friends having a laugh on a track, how track days should be!
absolutely legends just having fun on the track
One of the best youtubers here. LOVE LOVE watching this sort of stuff. These boys are just having a laugh and lots of fun
Haven't seen Beavis & Butthead in a long tome... Thanks for sharing!
You have no idea how often i check your channel for new vids, keep them coming lads!! The more insane and mental, the better! :D
Very good video ! More efficient handling in the clio 2 RS. Thank you !
driving on those legendary tracks is so cool
Another blinder. Love the enthusiasm.
2zz owner for many years before... and many years to come :D what a fun thing #Lift
And this is what it's all about. Have fun with what you got!
That’s the best 8:22 seconds and the funniest thing I’ve seen all day 🤣
Great demonstration of having fun on a track day without huge funds.....great combo of cars, laughed along with you 👍🏼
Wheres the 306?
Currently getting a cage fitted, it will be back on track later in the year!
@@CamberandCombustion a wise choice there, my friend ;)
@@CamberandCombustion cool! Look forward to more crazy sideways action in that thing!
Now that’s what I call a proper fun day out. Awesome driving lad.
Mate you boys are having a blast! !!!!!!! Such a great video i am not a fan of front wheel drive, until now! !!!! Great work
Low key diggin that white steering wheel 🤫
You guys should buy a Toyota Corolla T-sport (kind of a mix of both of you guys’ cars... 2zz fwd hatchback)
Scotty Kilmer is proud
I absolutely this channel. It motivates me so much HAHA! Especially when practicing heel & toe, which I can now get right 80% of the time hehehehe - I drive a manual Peugeot RCZ by the way, and I’ve been doing manual no driving instructor for 7 months now :)
Great to hear Will! We try and show the pedalcam as well, unfortunately this time the SD card of that camera corrupted. It will be back!
fuck I love this channel, such hilarious editing and you guys are so chilled and always having fun. Proving that driver skill comes before power too.
Your boy LeBerk can also drive I see! Fantastic stuff, as usual guys! Your laughs are everything that's alright about cars LOL
Been some serious winter upgrades here
Great racing guys! Looked like great fun. The celica looked like loads of fun too. When you think of fwd people normally think of civic type R or clio. You've just put the price of celicas up after seeing this. 😄
U guys are like my inspiration to get a track car and get on track
Do it! You will not regret it! Although your bank balance might...
2:58, perfect opportunity for "when will I see you again" 😏😂
Two absolute mad men. I love it 🤙🏻
Superb driving like always you two 👏
That looked like great fun!
Fair play to the Celica keeping up!! Probably quite an underrated car
They are awesome, but get the facelifted model (after 2003) which doesnt burn oil.
Chevrolet Camaro not my kind of think personally! I’ve got a Clio 200 cup, but I’ll remember that for if anyone I know mentions that they’re looking for one👍🏾👍🏾
@@chevroletcamaro3885 Those still burn oil, I know a guy with a GT model and when accelerating it was black smoking hard (probably because it was never well mantained). He had to fill the oil once every 2 weeks, until the engine blew up
looks like you guys had a tonne of fun, im happy for you, keep it up =)
Missing pedal cam guys...
That looked like so much fun
That Celica is quite understeery unless provoked.
Is the rear set toe out ? It's seems very tail happy for a ff car
Yes lads, love it. Balls of steel
That was so much fun! Would love to see you guys drive my Trophy R.
they should rename all FWD competitions to, The understeer Cup! haha
Silverstone marshals are lads
More of this duel please
1m55 fkn legend
Awesome every time guys lolol never anything less than maximum attack 👊
So how much power are these two cars producing with these parts and all? Seems like a perfectly fun setup.. 😍
Great video, as usual
Looks like a lot of fun.. 👍
Every time you two go into a corner I think fuck they've over cooked it and every time you have but you still get round them 😂 mental
I know what is the end of celica but I really enjoyed the times it was on track especially its engine noise
yaks! shyts! love it too!!
Hahahahaha what a sick channel. Nothing but laughs, love it.
Should do a run Down video of each car and what's been done
This is why i would rather a cheaper sport car like the celica then a ferrari
Bucking Frilliant mate. Entertained.
Dunno about anyone else but in the first minute of that video the turn in on the celica looks far better than the clio. Looks like it's on rails a few times there.
Great driving!!
Awesome video guys well deserves a 👍🏻
The celica is really that planted on the rear? I'm looking for one because here they are way cheaper than Civic type r ep3 or Clio rs3
They are so underrated but the 2zz is so good
Longer wheelbase = more stability at speed ;)
Very good cars bud
Bomb proff aswell
Lorenzo Clara yup very stable, this is with some toe out to help rotation too. It needs stiffer springs really, but this is my super low budget courtesy car/race Alex and Matt car so that can wait for another day! Rear suspension is nigh on identical to EP3, very similar car just a little less powerful but a little lighter too.
i was strongly considering buying a 2zz, on paper 190 vs 200hp for a k20 doesn't seem too bad but in reality they're different leagues. iirc celica has about 160 wheel horsepower and an ep3 with common mods has 210 wheel horsepower and more torque. The 2zz isn't that tuneable but it still sounds awesome and i'm jealous of the guy getting the celica for £750
@@Be4tJumper 2zz is also lighter than Honda k20, Better for let's say mr2 mk3 swap
Had no idea a Celica could sound like that 😯
yeah 2zz engine is a screamer
Toyota Celica is 192 hp ?
182 FTW!!! Oh it was a 172...thats why it was so tight! 🤣🤣🤣
I Love You Guys 😎😎😎💪💪👍👍
Beautiful driving...... subscribed!
Great vid as usual lads 👌.... What have u done to the celica? Use to have one, fun car
LOL the celica over steering its hilarious
You bought a T23 Celica? Nice one!
Our friend Ben from StringTheoryGarage saw us having too much fun in our FWD hatches and wanted to join in, so bought a cheap Celica that absolutely rips!
Love this circuit
Very very very good drivers. I really wonder how well would they do in a real motorsport.
such a well edited video!
Where did you get that wheel for your Celica? I need that
That Celica is really revvy 🔥🔥🔥
Is that a 1zz celica or a 2zz? She’s a screamer for sure
2zz
Oh by the way, do you have a baffled sump on the Celica? Or a modified 1ZZ one at least? I've heard stories of oil starvation under extreme cornering on track.
What sort of improvements/differences did the Avensis master cylinder do? Firms up the pedal a little & reduces the pedal travel required?
Yeh exactly that. With the standard one Ben was experiencing the pedal going very long on track!
dayumn that intro!
Fucking hilarious! Gotta love a bit of lift off loonying!
