What Makes The Toyota Celica So Great? 

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.

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 😂

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.

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

Shame on you

That's wassup keep celicas alive

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 💀

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

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

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!

Yeah they are fun cars I feel like even corolla get more respect now which is bogus

AE86 FTW.

Ay wassup same car owner

@@iant1891 ig my boy ?

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 also have a 93 white Celica Convertible 5 speed. Very fun car.

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

get one, they're kind of cheap when it comes to JDM classics and just a lot of fun in general.

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.

rebuild it better than new, they dont loose oil for no reason. did you take it on track or something?

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.

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.
