1JZ Toyota Celica Review: The Underrated JDM Legend

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

After driving so many JZ cars I couldn't believe how different this one felt. Thoughts?

[@dankvader420]

I mean I know it's late now, but have you considered a 1,5jz for the s13? You'd get the best of both worlds.

[@YehLikeThat]

I'm happy to see the Celica get the exposure it deserves. Shout out to Cody for such an awesome build. I remember when he first got it 10 years ago bone stock. Dude put his heart and soul into his baby 😎

[@CodyPhillips-q3j]

I love this! Thanks again for this opportunity @thatdudeinblue it was amazing hanging out and spending the days with ya! I’m glad you enjoyed the celica as much as I do!

[@ianfairbanks1318]

I stuffed a 1UZFE in mine, with a ford 8.8 rear end. MR2 struts, camaro shocks, civic coilovers, etc

[@jordanadams8618]

I love the fact that you review cars with character, that people have spent so many hours on just to bring to life. Then comes you to shine some light on some of these dope builds, a lot of channels review new cars which is cool but a lot of them lack personality.

[@MikeLaRock88]

Love it. Boxy cars from 80s/90s always look good

[@beezlebub3955]

I knew that JZ’s could scream, but that is on another level of raw, shit is primal! Also I love this body style Celica, was literally the first car I ever rode in

[@sconartist]

IMO the exhaust note of the 1j is better than the 2j

[@GreyMK7Jet]

This Celica has a special place in my heart. My uncle tought me how to drive stick in an 85 multi colored Celica GT-S coupe lol. I was 11 at the time, but man did that keep me in tune. Since that experience I’ve only owned manual cars ❤

[@Duckswag87]

I love the engine noise but at full tilt the exhaust note is a little too slappy. Beautiful car though, super cool build

[@claytonCuzzo]

Agreed , says it sounds amazing then seconds later just sounded like a rattle

[@Jasontyo]

I love this look. Im torn between this aesthetic type of wild retro-mod and OEM Plus.

[@gpittman82]

Awesome build! Can't beat the 1JZ sound at all

[@Epsonblade]

I've wanted one of these cars for so long. Very cool and genuinely obscure.

[@keitaparada1497]

Great video, I love the engine that is in the mr2 spyder, the celica is probably the other best sounding 4 cylinders behind vtec motor, ecoboost, and ecotek motors

[@anthonysgarage69]

My 2.0T Ecotec in my regal sounds good I’m hoping to do a custom exhaust after a tune

[@anthonysgarage69]

Update: way better even with just intake, tune, and muffler delete. It literally sounds like a 4 cyl Jz😂

[@anthonysgarage69]

It’s more turbo noise than engine noise though

[@904Saleen]

Really sweet ride. Definitely makes me want to get familiar with the 1JZ. This thing sounds great!

[@Skooby59]

Bro, your music selections alway go hard af. Love your work my guy

[@portermcsorley]

My dad is currently restoring a 1985 Celica GTS hatchback that spent 20 years in a barn in Iowa. He spent an ungodly amount to have the original 22RE engine sent off and built. It has slightly higher compression and a hot cam. He hopes to make 135(wheel horsepower) N/A when it’s all done. It’s a significant improvement over the factory 114(crank horsepower), but he could’ve properly swapped in something way more powerful for the same price…but he wants the originality.

[@k00lkidz4]

There's something special about souping up a car with its original engine. Imo engine swaps, while cool, are a last resort

[@portermcsorley]

@@k00lkidz4 I mean the old engine was pretty rough. It was parked in 2002 because of a blown head gasket. Only original part is the block and maybe the crank. New rods, pistons, and new ported head with I think bigger valves. I don’t remember if he went with a stroker kit to increase the 2.4L displacement. Either way the builder said it’s good up to 400hp if he ever did forced induction. Supposed to be 150ish hp at the crank in with the N/A factory EFI system. I still don’t understand why he’s dumped like $5k into a 22RE.

[@k00lkidz4]

@@portermcsorley personally I agree and would've swapped it, but I understand where your dad is coming from.

[@brandonsmith3990]

This makes me miss mine. My first car was an '83 GT, then I bought an '84. I should've kept one of them.

[@melvinburwell8202]

This is cool. These are kind of the forgotten celicas. 1JZ. Bitchin man. 400 hp. That thing sounds fantastic. Cool shift knob.❤😄😉🤑😝😎

[@retroheadd7551]

Congratulations Cody ! I remember when I was a kid watching this drive by bone stock back in Cali !

[@iansage3865]

Iv never wanted a 1j Toyota celica more than right now xD Such a cool build

[@jonathantorres5934]

That WOT sound is amazing!!!

[@datboy5009]

Been following the owner on this car for a while and talk to him occasionally. Super cool car ❤️

[@HENRYSYOTAS]

Celica prices about to go up 🫶🏽 much love for showcasing some celica builds

[@ik_vind_helemaal_mooi]

You should do a review on a rotary swapped Suzuki samurai, cuz i think youd love that too

[@WardSpose]

Cool car. Should have flexed those pop up headlights.

[@plap.]

nose is from a supra, probably don't work yet

[@mitch5300]

​@@plap.No it ain't, everything there is from the celica. Maybe a gts trim level for the splitter

[@mrfurzzy8867]

And those fog lights!!

[@plap.]

@@mitch5300 GTS or not the Celica had the square lights that were exposed and they laid backwards. The supra is still a Celica model had the covered pop-ups. Pretty much the same car except the 6cyl and parts will swap out

[@mitch5300]

@@plap. they did a face-lift for the 84 and 85 model years, which are hiding like the one in this video. The supra had the actual pop ups more traditional to other cars with pop ups. Celica of the 84 and 85 model years had a very similar system to the ae86 with rolling vs pop ups

[@travishenderson4663]

That thing sounds freaking awesome!

[@reptilez13]

Love 1JZ, love the blue and purple, love it all. That one is raw as hell, whatever exhaust he has is... well nonexistant lol. Makes me want a Lexus 2J or something for sure.

[@lightness1701]

Very cool. I like these Celicas a lot

[@joselorenzo3774]

Sick ass build. Love the work.

[@calitri-boost]

Really always love your content. Such positive energy

[@1970ronin]

got to love any old Celica but that's a cool build

[@surfwalez8556]

This is what I had in mind for my celica

[@Weather_Nerd]

One of the sickest cars I’ve seen on YT in a while 😍🤤 that sound tho!!!

[@TheFluffyWendigo]

Finally a 1JZ that (to me at least) sounds good

[@brianl8983]

The old Celicas were cool back then, and probably even cooler now

[@pixel_eyezd3805]

Where is the angel motorsports video you mentioned 3 weeks ago?

[@TsunamiSephi]

That is one of my all-time favorite songs. Darren Styles' "Us Against the World" hits so hard.

[@JustTrident]

My dude Cody!!!🎉

[@internetperson8146]

I didn't know I wanted one, but I want one.

[@DAcubsfan2]

love the song choice in the intro

[@matthewvalentine3549]

Love the 1jz sound.

[@brentforte5950]

Celica the Mother of all Supra's. A real driver's Car nice one Blue.

[@epiccowboymemes2042]

Suggestion to the onwer (I hope he sees this). If you want show off your engine and flex REALLY hard, then look up on YT how to create a custom mold for a transparent hood.

[@Mooselover1011]

I love Celicas. I've owned 3. This is awesome.

[@mythyc9604]

Had an ‘85 ST. Fuhkin awesome car!

[@One_Shot_Garage]

I have an 85 GTS with a tired 22re. Planned on doing a 1uz but this video has me thinking otherwise

[@terryfairway1097]

Absolutely beautiful car.

[@trappenator96]

when are you dropping your spotify playlist????

[@OMGITSAAAJ]

The sound of a chuckling turbo...👌mmmwaa!

[@trlprk]

I like the wheels!

[@viewmodel]

Beautiful car

[@adamvang4294]

OK I'm digging that hardstyle intro

[@Archetype_Datsun]

Celica is bad ass the raspy exhaust not easy fix

[@halfinger912]

planning to pick a celica ra65 next month if the post on facebook still on, i dont have the money rn 😂

[@bulbacivic]

This is freakin insane!

[@stevencarrington5613]

Love it just pure enjoyment ❤

[@QBDLettuce]

And here I was thinking it was a G-body because of the roofline from your Twitter post. 😅 Man was I wrong. Same era I guess. 😁

[@MCMS331]

Would get rid of my speed 3 w/ cash on top. Love that sound and style 🔥‼️

[@zakiazril4687]

W intro track 😍

[@dankvader420]

The 1jz is one of the best engines for cruising because of its sound at low rpm…

[@maxibuilt]

I’ve seen it here in Va Beach

[@zerocool4835]

Og 1st generation supra if u ask me

[@jacobabbott9962]

“Surprisingly smooth” as he is literally bouncing up and down lolol

[@Tiltymilk]

THATS MY HOMIE!!!

[@Triplenickelmotorsports]

If you want to. keep the Celica trend going... my 77 has a 2J and 6 speed and I. am just down in Florida.

[@dan_lazaro]

A Celica with a 1jz. Is that a Celica Supra?

[@matthewvalentine3549]

Is that wastegate open to atmosphere or recirculating? Jw cuz the 1j I've seen around sounds totally different.

[@that_1jz_celica82]

It’s open atmosphere, it’s an external tial wastegate with a dump right behind the front passenger wheel 👌🏻

[@seanklimczak1793]

Great music choice

[@Atadoftism]

Love it!

[@francislandry9672]

David, I like you. But you gotta stop using using the term "ultimate tuner troll" so deliberately. After seeing more than 5 video titles with the same sentence, the meaning loses power. As always, great video, keep it up❤

[@pduffy83usa]

God it sounds great!!

[@lawrencewaite2696]

This thing is so dope

[@Batman93GenesisCoupe]

I want you to do a video of my car when i get her a 240 1jz with 600+ hp

[@Heckk_oh]

That monstercat intro tho

[@mikeschaner5853]

Beautiful build. But why does it sound like a craftsman lawnmower with no oil?

[@Hipsters_N_Hippies]

Good one bro👍🏻

[@rebelliousrebel420]

I got an '85 Celica GTS, should I build it or sell?

[@amarejones3955]

Like the colours

[@-PLAYER0NE-]

I am really not a fan of the sound on this one. Must be the exhaust i guess? Jz’s usually sound incredible to me, but I’m sure it would be much different in person.

[@Albertoepicness]

this thing goes hard

[@bubblecar2172]

Best chassis Toyota made.

[@gearsofwar2497]

WHOOO CELICA!!!

[@oikkuoek]

With my airbox/intake, suspension tune, proper clutch and right tyre, I could make that go 4.87 on 1/8th

[@banneddamn]

( ) is the ultimate tuner troll....

[@handlebars9514]

makes the twin turbo 22re in my ra65 feel pathetic😅

[@tommyclement7822]

Is it just me or when David said “yeah buddy” I said” rolling like a big shot” ect ect

[@dtwd9043]

Gah Damn that thing sounds so good 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻 🇯🇵

[@miketwotwenty]

Interesting that this engine sounds similar to the Porsche Cayman 718 gt4 flat 6!

[@CheesusSVT]

Super cool 😅👍

[@J-Whit]

That thing is epic!

[@BobbySonnNews]

My hope of being on your page is still alive im from VA 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@thusmarshal8815]

The 1jz is not that good sounding but cool non the less. Haven't heard of the Subaru ez30r eg33 ej20 ,Toyota 1gz-fe 1uz 1LR-GUE , Honda c30a, and mazdas B series all sound marvelous

[@codybertin2458]

What's the song 🥺

[@ericbritton8146]

I must admit, seeing this hurts my feelings. I previously owned an 85' Toyota Celica ST variant 5-sp manual with the stock 22R-E engine and I thought it was perfect as is, but to each is own.

[@MrCallmevader]

Hello from Barbados

[@Drummaboycj]

I honestly felt like toyota should of put the jz into more sports cars in their line up especially the celica

[@BuiltByGriz]

Goated

[@robbalinski1606]

I enjoy the ra60 platform, stock they make almost no power but they weigh in at 2600lbs. They they are a lot like miatas in the sense of there momentum cars, the celica just doesnt benefit from more modern suspenion like the miata does.

[@dchogsgoham]

YEAAAAAAA CODY

[@91donwilson]

So cool
