1986 Toyota Celica GTS - Dori Drives

A sporty little cloud.
From its introduction at the beginning of the oil crisis to its untimely demise in the mid 2000's, the Celica nameplate adorned Toyota's most technologically advanced, sharply-honed sports cars. The fourth generation model, released in 1986, has all the strengths of an 80's performance car with few of the drawbacks.
On Dorito Reviews, I try to go beyond the objective stats of cars, focusing more on their apparent natures; to me, that's what makes them so alluring. By tying cars in with their market's histories and demonstrating their evolution, my goal is to provide a fresh look at the machines that bind us.

This showed up on my front page and is crazy. My mother bought this exact spec, white GT-S hatch with blue interior and sunroof, new in 86. It had the strangest quirk which would unleash a very unpleasant rotten egg smell randomly on upshifts.

This video deserves more recognition, great editing, great voiceover, and you even know what you’re talking about lol

Did you get it? How is it going so far?

I'll go ahead and insert "I had an 86 GTS!" here. Champagne with red leather.

Great video, very well reviewed. I have an ST182 GT-i and I love every bit of that car. 61'000 kilometres, Gen.II 3S-GE, 156HP, 186 N/m of torque. The second gen. motor has ACIS, a further developement of T-VIS, and the same mid range RPM fun. It's an unbelievably addictive car to drive. I've been owning her for a year and I still cannot get enough of it.

My dad had one of these it was auto though I learned how to drive on it and fell in love with Japanese cars after. Then I bought my first car a 1990 300zx NA lol

I was looking at one recently after seeing the pricing of 86’s going up and getting harder to find I finally gave up because of how overpriced they’ve become and how well documented they have been I found a at160 celica and decided to take a look haven’t found a lot of info of people working on them and it does have its benefits so I might just buy that over the 86 plus I do love me a good lift back

Can't recommend one of these enough, they're well deserving of all the attention. Definitely try and grab one before they get too out of hand
