1991 Toyota Celica GT-Four RC **Rally Special** (USA Import) Japan Auction Purchase Review

[@Codethe_Road]

If a car looks good in white, it will look good in any colour,

[@leonardguerra8127]

If only Toyota still made cars like this.

[@TurboWizard69]

Your prayers have been heard

[@mbukukanyau]

This Toyota is gone

[@mbukukanyau]

Now Toyota is an appliance company

[@straightbusta2609]

GR Yaris boisss

[@nuttysnpdg]

imagine taking delivery of a brand new one of these in the early 90's, i woulda lived in the thing lol

[@danielOconahap]

imagine a nissan gtr 2017 right now. i would eat off its hood

[@1in7.8b]

Man I freaking love these.

[@PinkGuy120]

But it's not an R32...

[@cartime7408]

JoaoPRSousa duh

[@WinrarChickenDinrar]

underrated comment

[@The_JDM_Dynasty]

This is really cool, congratulations to the new owner. I owned a similar model a few years ago, it was the Carlos Sainz Limited Edition #2930 4wd and 4w steering, CT20b turbo very fun to drive.

[@bubbakushii]

St205?

[@ReviveAndDrive-mk1]

chaozbanditx lol kinky i got to say ;)

[@Marticus518]

really miss my -91 GTi Celica, it was such an awesome cheap first car and the GT4 model was a real dream car for me back then!

[@jdmboy1836]

These Celicas are still so nice.

[@jovannirodriguez4006]

damn right it was worth the 15 minutes. awesome machine

[@PacificCoastAuto]

Thanks

[@Rhadiqul]

I LOVE THESE CARS SO MUCH !!! I WANT ONE SOOOO BAD ! HOPEFULLY IN HALF A YEAR !

[@penvon]

Rhadiqul Did you get one?

[@negativeindustrial]

You waiting on that ST-205 WRC aren’t you? Good choice. It’s a much better overall car than the ST-185 RC

[@Codethe_Road]

I wish even today that they made more road legal race cars-- or had more racing divisions that are based on real world cars, instead of multi-million dollar race teams working on some uber high tech car.

[@SamuelsShea]

Furness Prime yeah I wish there were more homologation specials being produced

[@SamuelsShea]

Like early 90's DTM, Group A/B rally, and GT racing specials

[@jy2592]

the day has came :)

[@JohnnyRawks]

I have a 1992 GTS (black) in my driveway. Bought it in 2001. Love it. Best car ever. I would trade my mint 2007 IS350 for my GTS fully restored, in a heartbeat.

[@playlist45769]

Fantastic walk around. So much information. Your japanese translation skills are impressive. Keep it up!

[@Alltracavenger]

That's a very solid ST185RC. I'd be all over restoring this one if I hadn't won the unicorn lottery with my ST165. Whoever gets this one's going to have an awesome car with just a bit of work. :)

[@julianapedersen7272]

i have the 92 celica gts model and i love it but this is the dream, so beautiful

[@malcolmbradley-sinotte1943]

Yes! My prayers have been answered! More ST185 Celica's :D

[@stephanematis]

Homologation special FTW! I so wanted one when it was on the market. My first car was a A40 series 1980 Celica Liftback GT with the 20R. Although I had no idea at the time, likely it was a "US Grand Prix" edition. (stealth edit : I am glad to say I always pronounced it correctly ... )

[@marcovanderkooi9819]

Those OZ Crono wheels were actually a dealer option in Japan. Most RC's had them. So they might actually be the original wheels.

[@PacificCoastAuto]

That is really cool. I have seen plenty of them on these cars and I just though that everyone wanted to be like Carlos Sainz.

[@dnlpark]

16's look great! Maybe pretend it's for a tarmac rally stage? ;)

[@bubbakushii]

My 91 Carlos Sainz came with these exact rims

[@neverthere5689]

that is an amazing unicorn. i love limited production cars like this with story

[@danmurphy1994]

This is my favorite Japanese car of all time it must be said. I wonder if parts are available to do a total nut and bolt restoration on a well used example such as this? Man I really wish you could drive the cars you do walk-arounds on Pacific Coast Auto. Like a POV drive review on this car would get millions of views! plus it'd make me happy lol

[@imfreakinglost]

I love the look behind the tree.

[@roddydykes7053]

Saw so many of these in New Zealand, awesome cars and the Kiwis kept them in good shape. Also about the RC being only white, I’ve seen them with the factory GT-4 RC stickers still on them (benefit of living under Canada’s 15 year import laws) and I’ve seen all of them so far in black.

[@PacificCoastAuto]

Come to think of it. I have seen these in black too. They are awesome cars.

[@roddydykes7053]

I’m probably too late to the party, but my ultimate dream is to import one of these while it’s still in Japan, completely restore it, and then have the ultimate version on my first car I had back in 2011.

[@R33Racer]

Do a tree walkaround as a April fools thing.

[@dawicked2k8]

R33Racer JDM tree yo

[@dohmies77]

"Here we have a 1978 tree bought off USS Tokyo auction, grade 3 with interior D..."

[@nuttysnpdg]

he should do a walk around of himself o.O

[@Gesh622]

Love this car, specially the engine !

[@broderp]

That would be a great car to completely restore and enjoy.

[@xan_carman4216]

the st185 gt4 are my favpirte celica of all time....i would love to have one one day but money lol. and i say celica like u cuz thats how my dad always said it. all my friends say it the wrong way tho....

[@MarvelousWesty]

Oh my lord... that B-40 tho!!!! Love cruisers!

[@directorworldlazer7135]

Lol THE WALK AROUND THO

[@negativeindustrial]

I have this engine/ECU combination swapped into my 1994 Celica with a ‘94 WRC spec CT-20b turbo and it’s insane. It’s significantly faster than my Turbo MR2 and hung with a buddy’s TT Soarer (2JZ-GTE). The timing this ECU runs under boost will make you scared but it doesn’t give a fuck.

[@MJmotorsportz]

11:16 thats what she said

[@96st206]

Colors were red, black, gray and white. Turbo is the same as normal GT-Four, Alternator cooler, same as standard GT-Four. MOMO wheel is stock on RCs. I have seen this before with other GT-Four RCs they will remove the RC badge and replace it with the UK Spec or Canada Spec Turbo 4wd badge.

[@whyexactly]

The turbo is different from the normal GTFours.

[@Llygr3839]

Loved your review keep it up

[@LuRyLaMa]

I hate California C.A.R.B. Regulations.... so stupid.. Love this Celica!

[@gabekless3107]

Sweet celica I would love one of these

[@sidewayslu]

my father used to have one until I was born :(.. They are called "Celica Carlos Sainz" over here in Europe as an hommage to the famous rally driver.

[@syzeification]

sidewayslu Carlos sainz was a limited edition

[@sidewayslu]

no the Carlos Sainz is just what the RC was called in Europe.

[@syzeification]

sidewayslu hmmm I had a different impression

[@bubbakushii]

The RC is an RC because it’s a Carlos Sainz edition, I have a European tuned one here in Canada

[@Chalpax]

Amazing car. It becomes pretty rare.

[@sprinklesdavenport8246]

ok i know this is old but that momo steering wheel is actually stock with the gt4 Edit: my celica has those same style seats but they dont remember the position :(

[@Dizzy206]

I've always pronounced it as "Sellicuh" haha. But man, do i love these cars.

[@tmangt1]

8:15 i was really worried about that :P I got a 3sgte in my st202 with a flat hood.. wasn't sure if i should get a GT-FOUR hood or not

[@EDGEDAZZA]

clutch are short throws in them. so they take up low. normal. if it doesn't slip. you're good. engine out to change

[@PacificCoastAuto]

Yes, we have fingers crossed about the clutch. And yes, the RC model has a shorter clutch pedal than the regular GT-Four.

[@mikehill8679]

I remember when I was in high school in 1999 my friend picked one up with 98000 km on it it was not the rc model just the 4wd turbo is what it was called here in Canada he payed 9000$ for it and within 3 months he had to replace the clutch and it cost 4000$ due to the fact they had to pull the whole entire engine out to replace it besides that the 10 speaker sound system was great I wish it was faster considering the 1990 supra turbo didn't cost much more at all with a lot more power and less problems anyways he still owns it and it has less than 200000km on it and he has done quite a few mods to it the last time he had it on the dyno he was making 350hp at the wheels he rarely drives it they are pretty damn heavy I have seen him lose races to sti's and moded eagle talon tsi's and evo x when he is making quite a bit of horse power he has mastered his launch technique but he loves it as well as i do there very rare so he will hold onto it for life I think hope even know he tried to sell it to me back in 2008 for 10000$ and I refused due to the fact I had just bought a Chrysler 300c srt-8

[@ABeans07]

nice run on story

[@bubbakushii]

The GT four turbo and the RC are diff

[@Camhin1]

These things are awesome.

[@NorWaiKid]

8:00 is the headlights moving?

[@runa791]

that 3 series wagon :D :D

[@MobbinAMVS]

Am i the only one who saw the headlights bouncing up and down or is from camera shaking or something.. :D

[@nikos13b]

i know im a bit late but they actually shake a bit when then car is on idle it happens to mine too

[@Xvok031]

Hello Derek I'm looking Toyota mr2 for the summer , will send u email! Regards

[@dnlpark]

Is the map light part of the RC package?

[@billseiler4952]

Very interesting pronunciation

[@gregh7457]

There was no sold price on this car. Too bad, i was very curious. Apple has another one for sale with half the kilometers for 1400000y. . With my wife's kansai accent she pronounces this car like we do in the usa.

[@eurotom288]

I am very surprised that there is a Sunroof on a RC Model, the Actual Rally cars didn’t have a Sunroof, just a bit Strange, take care people.

[@Ricys]

GOD I love this car.

[@childhoodprepper]

i would love to see an ST200-205 seeing as i have one ;)

[@AdmiralSym]

Is that a Scion xB truck conversion in the back?

[@PacificCoastAuto]

It's not a conversion, it was a popular concept car that Toyota put into limited production. It's the same one in our KZbin logo. We've had it for several years and have fallen in love with it.

[@marcinandrzej9024]

I Love toyota celica!!!!!!

[@aaronreid1445]

Owned one great cars

[@shingoose6197]

Is that 325i something your exporting out of Japan?

[@RMZ298]

Very cool car.

[@RaihanWidia]

Dont touch my damn turboo ! Lolol

[@bisser6969]

Turbo is not bigger all comes with CT26 and normal alternator cooler is standard

[@imVexedBruh]

beautiful

[@bigbossegoroff]

Нету лучше велика, чем Toyota Celica :)

[@jdmcarandmotorcycle]

точно братан откедова ты?

[@bigbossegoroff]

Барад-дур. Мордор. )

[@mustavibashar6101]

Dont 3sgte's make around 300hp?

[@DoRC]

that'll look a lot better when it's not all jacked up

[@dha588]

Can you message me If you have a Toyota Celica st205 in good condition for sale? I'm located in New York and a serious buyer. Thanks !!

[@RickSanchez-zi7us]

Hey are you selling this car if so how can I contact u

[@lsbugsbunny92]

Josue Hernandez Derrick is an exporter, he buys cars for customers and exports them to there country, if you want to buy one from auction than you contact him, but customs paperwork is all up to you, I'm exporting a R32 with him soon, I'm just waiting on little extra money for maintenance.

[@gentlepersuader]

In Australia, NZ and UK they pronounce Celica exactly as you did in this video. I guess we're all wrong?! NZ also pronounces Subaru different to everyone else (not sure if the Japanese are the same?): kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGPQmH1qidadg6M

[@marc07112]

I want that!

[@joeminoso1554]

NICE

[@warracer03]

I love mine :D

[@Shwalker07]

Lol, pinches on the seat. I am going to start calling that on my mk3 Supra seats.

[@Fordman99.]

This was the Carlos Sainz edition

[@AikeB]

What is the yellow car in the background? Looks really interesting

[@devingulyas3627]

Aike Brakel they had done a video on it. I believe it's their work truck/van

[@gabekless3107]

It's a Toyota bb open deck

[@1Dukecronic]

i had one of these

[@chriskarsseboom2200]

Dukecronic that car was not even made in the us

[@PacificCoastAuto]

US got the GT-Four for the ST165 (Called the All-trac) and the ST185 (called the Turbo GT...?) Though both were sold in such small numbers, you might never see them.

[@carlos3812sainz]

[@MarcusMarksen]

lol at the cringing pop ups especially the left one

[@dha588]

I'll buy that car! how much do you wanna sell it for ? I'm in new york

[@lokithree8]

David Ha this car is in Florida.

[@dha588]

[@rockolutheran]

ohhh myyy

[@TheAravindtop]

That left pop-up just keeps shaking.....

[@codyjohnson8348]

No RC bagde, no deal. Lol

[@TheRealProtagonistic]

Why do you keep calling it a Cell lEE ka? Its a a "sell eh kuh" celica

[@ae86fiend]

It's Celica, not celeeeca.

[@tbrooks551]

no one is gunna mention how this guy pronounces celica?

[@kurdishanimeclub4300]

A TOYOTA SUHLEEKAH

[@gregh7457]

i've been watching some video's from another japan importer and i've noticed that guy runs like a sissy when he sees surface rust or mechanical problems that are inherent in one particular model of car. . Derek on the other hand takes a more educated approach to looking at problems with these cars. The other importer guy would have run from this celica. It's rare-unusual cars like this celica that get my interest and especially so if they can be had for cheap prices.

[@PacificCoastAuto]

I suppose it depends on your experiences. I grew up poor with broken cars. You can buy perfect cars if you like, but after 25 years, you will be paying mountains of cash.

[@rizky2646]

First

[@hoydog33]

Rust bucket

[@awilmut]

Just because it says Suleeeka on the auction sheet doesn't mean thats how you pronounce it. Here's your proof: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIDEZ2qFbrulfNE

[@PacificCoastAuto]

Those commercials are awesome. Thanks for sharing. Too bad Eddie never learned how to pronounce the name of the car though... or did they want him to say it "American Style" because gaijins are fun to watch like zoo animals. I would love to go visit early 90s Japan.

[@gonzomason1490]

PacificCoastAuto The "American pronunciation" is painful to listen to. Haha. You get away with it because a) you're Canadian and b) you know how to say it properly 😂 Love the vids, thank you 😊

[@awilmut]

I prefer to think that they made him say it correctly.

[@πςέ-ω5η]

самый не красивый кузов

[@theniceones1613]

"Celeeeeeeeeeca" lmao man you dont know cars lol

[@RALLYxREP]

PacificCoastAuto Nope nailed it, I've got the standard 185 over here in the UK. It's definitely Celica and not Celicka.

[@circuitsevenautotech7488]

This car is ugly! Not even the people who engineer it like it!

[@Ayeato]

Nah its good
