Whoever edits the clips is stuck in the 90’s thinking loud is good, shouting is good.

But yes let’s put music that’s annoying on at level you can’t follow what is being said 👏👏👏👏 to whoever. Time Fifth Gear had a wee rethink on the team being the lens.

[@bwxmoto]

@@SWR112 Only pass I could give them is if they are editing the video on a laptop or something with tiny little speakers with very limited range, it's hard to tell the difference between crazy loud and not so loud volume levels because you might have volume cranked and tiny speakers only get so loud anyways. If they had proper studio monitor speakers with even 50 watts pushing them, the difference between voice level and music level would be much more apparent. That's why people watching on their phones or laptops don't notice anything wrong sometimes. But still that's no excuse, they can watch the level meters in the editor. Guaranteed that voice is -10 db and the music is +2 db or something crazy like that. I happened to watch on my home theater with 7.1 channel Yamaha Aventage RX-A880 receiver and the music is crazy loud, and voice is very soft. I could fix this entire vid in about ten minutes in my simple cheap video editor. Their new video is the same way. Same guy or girl editing these and doing a terrible job. Music doesn't even need to be there most of the time let alone overpowering the guy's voice. SMH

[@timoliver9895]

Great vid 👍 I own a ST205 and standard they are quite tame. In my opinion Toyota was reserved with the setup of the customer version of the car to make it easy to live with & safe for everyone. But with a few tweaks its not hard to unlock the real power of the GT-Four's 3s-GTE and chassis.

[@enigmaPL]

Small track, shorter gearing in the Yaris, would help make it abit more agile in this scenario. As well as expecting some HP to be lost if that's a stock Celica without modifications. Despite longer gears and thus slightly slower to spool the turbo, it still did pretty well, and might put up a better fight on a track where it can stretch its legs.

That is the EXACT same colour of my ST205 GT4 I owned (and loved) when I lived in Japan over 10 years ago. Such a lovely car to drive. Much more a GT car though, as I am sure those who have owned/driven them would agree. The 3SGTE is a sensational motor, and really woken up with a dump pipe off the turbo (deleting the enormous primary cat), and a boost controller set to 1.2 bar. The water/air intercooler on these provide much more flow than the equivalent air/air intercoolers on the MR2s. Sadly, the heavy FWD torque split of the AWD system and the tiny clutch that just starts to melt when you try to launch it do take the fun away. But driven briskly at 8/10 they are superb and oh so smooth. I must admit, I do wonder why they run a brand spanking Yaris GR (25 years newer) against a stock ST205 GT4 - like in some way they don't know the outcome - old vs new is always a cool comparo, but give respect to the GT4 where it's deserving. How about a new M3/M5 vs a 25yo E36 M3/E39 M5? The difference would be an absolute destruction...perhaps requiring time lapse on the cameras to wait for the older M car to catch up! Again, not dissing the older M cars; they too have a magic analogue appeal about them, and are a fantastic driver's car!

[@Chr15py_]

@@odin5188 - don’t entirely agree with you. It’s true and not true. My Mr2 turbo originally had 279bhp on standard internals with a LinkG3 ecu and only ran 1.0bar...a smidge more than standard and ran it until I wanted more. It had more capability for monitoring the engine and how it ran and it was bloody quick! Had two years of nice, 1bar fun until I put a mild hybrid on it and decided that new internals would be an idea. In final guise, mine made a nice safe 336bhp. Was it worth adding a Link G3 to my “stock” Rev 3 turbo only to run a little more boost than standard? Absolutely! I didn’t have any intention to build it at the start lol. But anyway this isn’t what this is about. I still think that if you added an aftermarket ecu and had a good mapper program it with sensible boost and parameters, m it would still be closer than it was in this.

I'd love to see a "what will it take to get the celica as quick as the yaris" segment...performing incremental upgrades to the gtfour to see how much has to be done to get it up to speed. Obviously starting with bigger, lighter wheels, stickier tyres....then better suspension etc etc.

[@Soulrollsdeep]

Biggest issue with the Celica is the massively heavy lump in the engine bay and the positioning, they understeer quite badly. Also the engine doesn't take well to big numbers without a lot of expensive work. Horses for courses, I guess. The only real comparison is the brand and the AWD aspect. The rest is like comparing apples to oranges.

[@harleyjones5200]

@@Soulrollsdeep I've owned several GTfours..they can be made to turn in quite well and all but eliminate the understeering issues with a good wheel/tyre combo and a competent suspension setup....although its worth noting that when set up properly..they are REALLY hard on their tyres... As for weight..its like a 110kg difference between the two. It is a difference, but its not that big of a difference. Yes the 3s doesnt seem to respond as well to mods as alot of other engines, they are still really strong and can achieve great numbers if built right, however with only a 4kw difference between the two its not like you need to run the motor to the bleeding edge of its limits to bring it to a point where it may be competetive....if you stripped the passenger seat, rear seats, spare tyre and some sound deadening out of the 205 and showed it just a little more boost, you could get the power to weight ratio very close to that of the Yaris. Combined with a well tuned suspension setup and a good wheel/tyre package, the Yaris is well within its reach.

[@TassieLorenzo]

Don't forget the Celica's lack of body rigidity compared to a modern car too!

[@Soulrollsdeep]

@@harleyjones5200 no doubt! Horses for courses though isn't it. I love old Japanese cars but I've been tainted by big power modern cars that do everything so well. Not sure I could even go back to a manual now, I love flappy paddle autos too much 😂

[@harleyjones5200]

@@Soulrollsdeep absolutely...I have built and owned all sorts of mental old cars from 700hp soarers with obnoxious triple puck button clutches to 450hp Toyota engined E30 BMW's...the love for old cars built and modded to within an inch of their life is in my blood....yet I type this while sitting in my big, heavy, stupidly overpowered X5....and you know what.....I wouldn't trade this thing for anything I've had in the past. It's super comfortable, reliable, quiet most of the time....yet still makes me giggle like a school girl when I mash the go fast pedal. All while feeling just as nimble as any soarer or supra I've ever owned....just can't beat modern tech for the total package.

"seager rally" c'mon plato, you're not so old you have that little clue how to pronounce SEGA are you? XD

[@NerfDermer]

Came here to say this. Glad someone beat me to it! :D

[@realbudman]

That's the way everyone pronounced it when I had a Master System 2.

[@yanceyboyz]

I am a huge Sega fan and always pronounce it 'say ga' but I have often heard people calling it 'sea ga'. The problem lies in its origin as it's birth was in Hawaii as an American company before being moved to Japan and becoming service games which was shortened to Sega. Complex history and many people pronounce it differently, I just pronounce it as I heard it on sonics intro or the ads back in the day.

[@maartenyzer4121]

most celicas have more power..

[@nemanja084]

Much more 😎, where the yaris power ends, the 3SGTE starts...

[@gummostump4217]

Sure, but the jury's out on how much more power the yaris can make, too. Not to mention that the yaris probably has a handling edge that a viscous coupling could never match.

[@boheyo]

Most Celicas are in much worse shape than this one.

[@maartenyzer4121]

@@boheyo how about most yaris?

[@mikemcinnis12]

I feel it's very important to do these sort of tests with the SAME TIRES, could easily influence the results by simply using different tires, put all seasons on the Yaris and race tires on the celica and the results would be flipped

[@Soulrollsdeep]

No it wouldn't, the Yaris would still trounce the Celica. And I am a GT4 owner.

[@CAR_NL]

Please fix the volume difference between the talking and music. This is unbearable.

[@iplaysdrums]

I've noted that several time with videos from various channels. I wonder if uploading to KZbin somehow messes with the audio, because surely the sound people wouldn't intentionally mix it that way.

Why would you watch it with headphones on lol 🤷🏼‍♂️

My ST205 is not as tired as that car. Look how much it leans in the corners! Poor representation imo :P I know that because of my lap times on castle combe :P

[@vashsant9749]

I'd take that Celica over the Yaris all day.

[@jyk4]

I had ST205 celica, it was a nice looking car and good to drive. I test drived new yaris gr yesterday and it's a great car to drive, so much fun. Much more fun what ST205 was on slippery roads.

[@BobbyTruffle]

The one looks like a proper handsome sports car and the other is like an ugly box on wheels...guess which is which. I don't care about how much better is the Yaris. It is ST205 every day of the week. And after 30 years the Celica will still be running and running and running and kicking some new gal's bottom...merry Christmas

Do an MX5 Mk3 2.0 BBR225 vs MX5 Mk4 2.0 ? Different ways to spend money!

[@ramblingsofafatbrokenman1211]

Predictable result but the startling thing is the list price of these 2 cars when new is almost identicle. Which makes the original list price of the Celica nearly £50k (going by my crap maths) taking inflation into account. The Celica was never on my radar back then, they left me a bit cold but they were the best car on Sega Rally IMHO.

Put some microphones on the car and let the viewers hear the exhaust and engine sound and you will definitely have more likes and subscribers. 🏁🏁
