Is the 1994 Toyota Celica GT-FOUR more SPECIAL than the Supra? 

Finally some love for the celica that doesn't come from scotty.

This car doesn't get enough hype.

*Sees Toyota Celica* Scotty Kilmer: *REV UP YOUR ENGINES*

Haha I thought of Scotty as I'm sure everyone else did watching this video.

Scotty Kilmer has joined the chat!!

Raiti: *reviews 1994 Celica* how good is this car? *Rips mask off revealing Scotty Kilmer all along* REV UP YOUR ENGINES

*Scitty Kilmer wants to know your location*

We appreciate you coming by and checking out our Celica GT-Four! We sold this one, but by popular demand we have another ST205 Celica GT-Four WRC coming in January, this one is white. Cant wait to show your subscribers our coming inventory!

I really do love these older car reviews. Probably my favorite videos. Take care guys and keep up the hard work.

Hey Joe, it has an air to water intercooler. The black metal box with the pipes coming out in the middle of the engine bay is it. There should be a reservoir and a pump for it somewhere on the car. None of the ducting on the car has any effect on it. the hood vent is for exhaust side heat extraction. Thank you for featuring this car. its the model toyota got banned for cheating with in WRC.

Non wrc model . It’s missing the anti-lag system . It’s just a regular gt4. When people truly realize how rare the wrc version is, they will be 30k easy.

Scotty Kilmer just subscribed

Scotty approves this video I'm sure.

Does anyone else wish they just made the new Supra almost exactly look like the 1998 version and did the same with Celica to make it a WRX competitor?

That is a really cool piece of history Joe!! I remember doing races in that car on the Gran Turismo games. It would be so weird shifting with my left hand being I am right handed!! Did you find it odd? Great video brother!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Its a baby supra honestly it has the shape

Do more cars like this lol

Yes the GT-FOUR is more special/cooler. Back when Toyota gave a rip.

Is it cooler than a A80 absolutely. It has more of a history behind it and everyone loves a good story. But these cars are extremely slow as compared to a lot of other choices that were avaliable when this car was new. Being a heavier 2 door with only 250bhp wasn't enough to keep it in the ring with its competition. Everyone calls these cars underrated or dont get enough love and there's a logical reasoning for that. Cars like this and the Z30 Soarer were mediocre at best amongst the many other choices at the time. The fact that this car in OEM spec cannot go the rounds with a DC2 ITR for example wasn't good. When this car went out of production nobody in their right mind would choose it over a Evo VI GSR or a GC8 STI with them being lighter, more power, and more practical. However in present day it is a much more cool car due to the rarity because people weren't buying it when it was new.

SCOTTY KILMER!!!! 1994 Toyota CELICA with 240,000 miles!!!!!!!

Is that a Toyota Celica GT4? Wasn't sure the first 50 times you said it lol

Never thought Id want a Celica, now I do lol

Most people who are supra "fans" don't know about this car. I'd rather have it than a supra no doubt!

Just added one of these to my collection, looks exactly the same except no rear wing extension. The '94 didn't have the extension stock and the steering wheel on the car you drove is aftermarket.

One of the cars I have always wanted just like the poor mans Evo aka Mitsubishi GSX.

I dream about so many Toyota cars. MR2, Celica, Caldina, Crown, Supra, bB, Corolla, Starlet. List goes on

I'd take this all day every single day over a new supra

It’s great to see you reviewing yet another Celica GT-Four. I have a 1998 GT in the same condition and I’m happy with it, but gosh do I wish it was a GT-Four. Great review and thank you for showing such appreciation for this vehicle!

The Celica, my favorite dad. "Dad of who?" The Father of the Supra, and brother of the MR-2.

This car was not an endless money pit! This car went toe to toe with the old 2-door Subaru Impreza WRX's, Mitsibishi Ecilpse AWD, and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. I wish Toyota cars like this stuck around into the turn of the century. At the time in the 90's Toyota had 3 insane sports cars in the indestructible Supra Mk4, mid-engine MR2 SW20 Turbo, and rally legend Celica GT-Four. It's no wonder why Nissan put so much heart into their Skylines and Sylvia 240SX while Honda laser focused their NSX, Preludes, Integras, and Civic Type R's. The JDM market was very competitive.

that is a regular gt4. the gt4 wrc edition was the one that only had 2500 units built

Celica is much more special than Supra because Supra was nothing else than just a trim level and only in USA at first because the same trim elvel in Japan was Celica XX. Without Celica there would be no Supra. Could you make a video about ST185(89-93) Celica GT-Four too?

I've waited for the return of this car for longer than the supra. One Day...

There would be no Supra without the Celica

Growin up back in the day, the Safari Rally was no business without the GT FOURs. Mehn! Those spooling purring turbos

Damn Scotty kilmer memes....stop.....he drives a shit box base version in automatic....

I can count on my finger tips how many standard 1994 Celicas I've seen in my lifetime. Less than half weren't entirely clapped out.

as someone who has one for the past 3 years in black also i will say watch out for the price of the parts if need to replace and also some parts the deallers cant get you anymore but i still love mine and use as a dally driver i.imgur.com/4H8WRII.jpg only mods a TRD wing from factory and rays gramlights

Ahhh Carlos Sainz, "El Matador"🏁🛎

I remember having one in Milano red. Loved it, and how it drove. It did however get stolen and then proceed to blow the engine up when I got it back (no I didn't modify it). Now driving a WRX.. I love AWD turbocharged cars.

This one isn't a WRC model so not one of the 2500. You can tell by the engine. No anti lag unit.

Can we give this car to some youtuber to detail/cut and polish. I think it deserves it

Yes, it's more special. Why? Weirdly not so known fact: the Supra that really put the car on the map was the version seen in Gran Turismo, which was the Castrol Tom's Supra, which absolutely dominated the GT500. It was powered not by the heavy 2JZGTE but the lighter 3SGTE, rocking 650bhp or more, it was an absolutely monstrous car. The only reason we have Imoreza and Evo's rocking the fame they do is because the Gt4 got booted from group A due to the much documented turbo scandal, the Celica was so dominant that they wouldn't have got a whiff at the fame they have if it wasn't for the gap left by the Celica. Even without the turbo technology, the Celica would have continued to dominate. Am epic vehicle, worth every penny and happily still very affordable.

Sign me in I'll buy it right now just hold it for me pleaseeee

Hey should i buy an frs for 11k

Sup Joe. Look really closely & look at the digital clock on the dash it says 905 🤔. I'm just wondering Joe do u make videos in real time or do u make them in the morning's or day before ??. Cause 905 was in the morning. 10:01.

I own a Celica and my goal is either to swap a 3sgte or import one of these beauties I love the history of the gt4

No but there is no denying how cool it was. p.s. those rims are gross and the steering wheel is on the wrong side-lol. If memory serves there were goldies that came with certain models here in the states. That exhaust looks so out of place.

YEESSSSS! TOYOTA CELICA!!! Great video, Joe!!

Trueeeeee I all true, own a GT-4 1990. When i drive, it's like the car is always asking for more ... The fits you like a wet suit, the handling is tremendously. You don't need to learn how to drive bc everything goes so automatically Love it. Ow ... and by the I do have a 1990 Supra as wel 3.0 i turbo and that cars takes off like an airplane. Toyota has so many fun cars :))) If there is someone out there who is looking for a 4 door Toyota fun car, I am looking for someone who want to take over a corolla 1990 with a 4AGE engine (original with about 70 k miles) Not for racing just to baby it and enjoy riding it once in a while.

Heh, the Toyota Celica is a beautiful car, I love coupes. But y'all probably didn't know about or forgot about Toyota's supercar. The Toyota Previa. Mid engine, all wheel drive (optional), and a supercharger after the '93 models (also optional). Tho to be fair the Previa is a minivan, but one of the coolest minivans ever for sure.

Probably the best looking Toyota ever built.

Love this car, especially all that's going on on the hood😎

The Celica All-trac was available to the US market. All wheel drive turbo with a turbo style hood but not quit like this one. Black on black. It was the late 90's I saw it. Left hand drive before someone says RHD import. All of these Celicas are imported from Japan to the US. That nasty gauge and wire stapled to the dash is horrible.

You just had to choose that year didn’t you?Here comes Scotty’s revved up engine! Just kidding. Thanks for this video.

OHHHH MY GOD, GET A NEW MICROPHONE FOR GOD'S SAKE . . .

The skirts/spats are not OEM, it's the TRD kit.

Rev up your engines! Oh wait

Kicking it old school!!! Love me some JDM

I like the Supra because of Gran Turismo. I like the Celica GT Four because of Sega Rally Champions.

Should I reach out to a 2004 Celica owner to start a local JDM club? I'm driving a Honda Accord Coupe of '00.

I got to drive number 18 in Australia 🇦🇺 when it was new it was owned by my mate the car number was just in front box the gear knob

Would be better if it were white. Do the Castrol livery.. SEGA RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP!

The super strut suspension is a real pain to work on, but do love mine

Geez Raiti how'd you find this bad boy

My brother probably has the fastest accelerating celica gt not gt4. He can go from 0 to 100 in 2-3 seconds, and making about 500 hp

We in Ireland got these and MR2 turbos in buckets loads imported as second hand Japanese imports in the late 90,s early 2000,s plus loads of other mad Japanese stuff. I was a Honda guy and enjoyed the Civic EK9,s integrals and the EG Civic SIR model with 170 bhp.We don’t have the 25 year rule thankgod or any year rule at all

Love it! That stock bov sounds amazing!!

Ah Joe, you're too nice 😜 even though I'm a Toyota fanboy, I would have poked fun at Toyota for cheating at the WRC hehe. Great review as always!

This is not a homologation WRC version. Doesn't have the anti-lag system and other random bits.

Shame we'll never have anything like this from Toyota. Don't buy the new Supra, guys. It blows.

Yes we all kno the ash tray for coins!

Another nice GT4 but not the homologation limited edition wrc. Doesn't have the bonnet spoiler at the top of the bonnet and the anti-lag exhaust manifold.

Awesome. All of these people have been looking to import Skylines and Supras and here I have been, browsing the JDM importers like "..hmmm....any Celica GT-4s?" Also let's not forget, Toyota won the WRC championship in 95' with the Celica GT-4 but was found to be cheating and was banned. For that its worth owning a piece of dubious WRC history.

Can you explain how the intercooler works on this? Because it has a charge cooler not an intercooler 😂😂😂

My dream car I have found it thank you Sir! 😀👍💪🚗

Yes, definitely feature more of these JDM legends

Are you at Tampa horse track?

Very Nice Celica, one of my favorites growing up. Too bad Toyota gave up on making coupes. Lucky for them BMW didn't- dig/zonk. Oh yeah the gt86 (yawn) JR drag race this with an 86. Kidding. When I would visit my brother down there, one of my favorite roads to drive was from Landsbrook, East Lake Rd to Citus Park Mall, Keystone Rd was beautiful. The road you drove looked like so much fun with the Celica! The other road I thought was pretty that was more residential, was W Linebaugh Ave, as I would drive through Westchase towards the movies at AMC Veterans 24, it's a nice looking area too.

Where is that Mach E video? The GT version looks pretty sweet

To much rambling.

That gen Celica is the best looking imo. Plus the AWD was a nice touch over the hidden Corolla the actual Celica was hiding. This Celica > new BMW Supra.

Dream car nice to see that you review some jdm legends

Does only certain models have the bigger wing? The one I'm looking at has a lower version

Just a heads up that there are more then 2500 ST205's made. The 2500 only applies to the first 2500 made which came with extra WRC kit (water sprays/anti-lag) which was all deactivated from the factory. The 1994 ST205 WRC & the rest of the ST205's from 1994 -1998 are the same car, same chassis, 3s-GTE Rev 3 engine, turbo, super-strut suspension, wheels, big brakes, aluminium hood... everything 👍

It competes directly with the JDM WRX which makes 250bhp in Japan at the time, not quite competitive against the STI and Evo which makes over 280bhp.

its special indeed but not Supra special

This video would be so much better without the noise from the mic.. Either or it's a great car

I'm still unsure whether people don't rev-match for some deliberate reason that I'm unaware of, or if literally everyone nowadays just has poor manual technique.

I like the GT-Four over the same year Supra, because the hood looks better, and the big ass spoiler looks better.

I'll say it right now, the MR2 is much more interesting than a Supra. Twin turbo straight six rear wheel drive GT car? Yeah ok that's a pretty normal format. Turbo / NA / supercharged four banger with a mid mounted engine sending power to the rear wheels with popup headlights? That's the realm of 80's supercars but the MR2 is more like a fancy Corolla. The Supra is downright normal compared to that.

If you look at the history of the 1985 Supra it had the name Celica on it to so it was actually called Toyota Supra Celica I believe in the early 90's Toyota decided to make the Supra its own and the Celica it's own Google it.

I just bought this car in Australia imported from Japan exactly the same model stock everything is the same Evan the color. Love it drive it only on weekends because there are lot of people who just wants to damage your pride or it will be stolen. Prices on these in Australia now about $85 to $90 thousand Australian dollars but end of the day it’s all value in future. Few more year this beast will be worth $200 thousand Australian dollars soon just need to keep them original stock and try to keep your KMS low as possible for higher value. Thanks for the video pretty much you are driving my same car there legends

The GT4 is an awesome car. The only real downside is the figure 8s and superstrut suspension can be costly. A tuner's dream with many pushing 500HP upwards plus with the right internals and set up. They are also appreciating in price. But source a clean example. Many thrashed examples out there, though the 3S GTE engine is tough in its stock form.

All love Supra, because of movies, games, etc, but nobody of these "fans" know car, that actually achieved something... :) Love Celica, love WRC :)

My favorite car ever. I owned a st165 which is the first gen gt four/Alltrac here in the US but I had installed the 3rd gen gt four engine and a supra ct26 clipped and finned turbo. It had a HKS package on the car.

got the numbers a bit wrong there 2500 only of the GT4 WRC car and the one you have there is not the WRC its a normal GT4 and there are around 47,000 of them made
