I have a 2000 Celica GT and I absolutely love it. It's my first car and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I bought it for $10k at 83k miles back in 2005 and I still have it today. It's now at 213k miles. Still going strong! Most of the modding I've done is all exterior: custom headlights, spoiler, taillights, rims, and a vinyl body wrap. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's an automatic, but it's still a good car. No regrets. :D

[@michaelboulos8734]

I've been looking for a Celica GT for months. My budget was 3k for a decent one and when I finally found the perfect GT, on my way to looking at it I saw a bright yellow GT-S on the street for sale and ended up getting it for 4k. Point is that you shouldn't rush into anything and you might find something later on down the road that cannot be passed. I drove both the GT and GT-S celicas and it's not so much the power that makes the difference (except when you hit lift) but it's how it all comes together. That being said keep pumping out videos and love your content!! 🏁

[@UpshiftUnlimited]

That's my thinking as well! Thanks man! Honestly a yellow GTS is my ideal Celica, maybe I'll luck out like you some day!

[@michaelboulos8734]

Upshift Unlimited Good luck with the search. Keep up the great content!!

[@auralapse]

Do a 2zz swap

[@michaelboulos8734]

Auralapse it's too expensive and not worth the time because the GT doesn't "gain" any value and it's not an easy swap

[@RealThunder99]

Dude , you found a very cheap GTS , in Europe you find a decent GTS at 6k $. I honestly envy you

[@ericlewin007]

I just bought a black 2000 celica gt and i love it. I also live in Rhode Island

[@UpshiftUnlimited]

Eric Lewin ayyy RI GT buddies 😎

[@guyfawkes62]

Eric Lewin watch that oil level

[@ericlewin007]

Guy Fawkes i fixed that problem by replacing the engine

[@vajochamp]

It would be pretty cool if ThatDudeInBlue reviewed your car

[@armades01]

Great to see you post again after so long. Seems like you've been pretty busy. I'd say upgrading to a 2ZZ would be worth it for the right price, since I get a lot of enjoyment out of mine, although moving to another car entirely could be potentially better in the long run. RWD and AWD formats are very tempting options the gen 7 doesn't have. For myself, I'm about to put coilovers on my Celica. After that there's some cosmetic things I want to do, like wheels, a Sports M bonnet scoop and TRD wing, then fixing the bodywork and paint. Eventually though, I would like to get something else myself. Lately I've been thinking one of the older GT4s might be a good pick if I want to stay in a Celica.

[@UpshiftUnlimited]

I'd love to put some good money into some nice mods like those for my car, we'll see what happens!

[@armades01]

Yeah, I'm always looking forward to seeing what you'll do next. Keep up the good work!

[@nikkisavo7293]

Honestly I feel you... My GT is in rough shape with stone chips all over the front and the front bumper is faded so bad. But I think you should just put your money into making your GT what you want. Give that car a second life. I feel like you'll be glad you did.

[@UpshiftUnlimited]

J. Markov exaaaaactly, that's the plan! My bumper is the same way though

[@nikkisavo7293]

Were you planning on getting any body kits? I really want the Kaminari from kaminari.com, but like is that even a legit website? lol. It would suck to spend 7-8 hundred on something that's not legit. I mean, the site seems okay but I have trust issues when pumping out that much cash online!

[@sonic3ism]

Someone in my neighborhood has a yellow Celica. Every time I see it, I cry. I can barely find any in Vegas.

[@MunddoGT]

I use to want to get a gts also. But at the end of the day it still just a celica. In order to make them quick, the only option basically is forced induction. Simple bolt ons really don't do much. I plan on keeping my celica till the wheels fall off lol. But I do also plan on saving up for a rwd/faster car.

[@UpshiftUnlimited]

MundoGT my thoughts exactly 😎

[@jorgeespinoza4039]

same here. I have a blue manual 02 GT 163k with the TRD body kit and exhaust and at the beginning I was thinking to get a GTS or acura rsx type s but it's not worth it. I'm saving a bit more money to get an frs or brz

[@2zzlow]

Did you check why the check engine light was on for?

[@UpshiftUnlimited]

2zzlow not sure, but the car may have just been in accessory mode while it wasn't actually running, which would cause the light to be lit

[@2zzlow]

at 2:15 the car is in 1400rpm which means its on. Gotta make sure those Lift bolts are not damaged or slight knock. Early GT-S had bad oil pumps in them.

[@evan937]

+Upshift Unlimited Don't pass up that GTS. 4k is a good deal. The 2ZZ is such an incredibly well engineerd motor. Yamaha helped a lot. In Japan and Europe the output is near 190 hp.. So they produce over 100 horses per litre!

[@reddemon52]

All celica community is in shock bro mitchdore got put on blast exposed for not being truthful check out the 2zzlow comments all facts. I know you have not posted in a while but you always kept it real and affordable mods.

[@UpshiftUnlimited]

😯 I saw that he was gone, kinda shocking. Thank you for your kind words though!!

[@guyfawkes62]

just bought a 2006 Corolla. has the same engine as my 2002 Celica GT. Hoping it does not have the same burning oil issue.

[@UpshiftUnlimited]

Best of luck to you haha

[@guyfawkes62]

supposedly 2003 and up 1ZZ-FE engines doesn't have the oil burning issue. time will tell.

[@thetreverpitts]

What about getting a Evo or something like that when u have money. I think saving money up and getting something newer is smarter

[@UpshiftUnlimited]

trever pitts anything is a possibility! We'll see what happens :p

[@garchompy_1561]

get a gt4 then. rally and celica

[@thetreverpitts]

well living in Florida I see. Toyota Celicas everywhere and most of them are in shity conditions. but i would say a gts is good but not much faster . what other cars do you like? i would love to get my hands on a Subaru WRX they come stock with 260 hp

[@weliftnation2418]

trever pitts thats because you had a Automatic GTS which gears ratios are garbage. The six speed transmission works wonders for the Celica GTS. Even the Celica GT is faster than the Celica GTS Automatic. The fastest Celica is the six speed Celica GTS. Trust me I have own two GTS and once you go six speed you will understand what the Celica VVTLI is all about. All Celica GTS six speed are different when you hit Lift. 2000 and 2001 hit lift at 6000rpm. 2002 hits lift at 6,800 to 7,500 rpm. The 2003, and 2004 hit lift at 6,200 rpm but are (DRW) drive by wire eletric throttle body. 2005 hit lift around the same as the 2002. 2006 models are rare in United states as so is the 1999 seveth gen. The 2006 model hit Lift around 6,200.

[@LilPistacho]

Manual gt is fun and better then automatic gt. I personally would say get the gts, that lift will definitely make it worth it. But get a gts you like. If that blue gts wasn't it then don't get it. I personally am not going to be doing a lot of engine mods when I get the gt-s just masic but noticeable changes like cai, rims, exhaust, and coilovers. I got a gt right now it does have some decent mods and looks nice. But the lift with the gts just makes the driving more fun haha. Make sure not to get a auto gts tho.. even if its perfect and cheap.. better off with your manual gt. :D

[@sfisosg7904]

wat do u use to record btw

[@UpshiftUnlimited]

SfisoSG I use a GoPro Hero 5 Black

[@CosmicMindSense]

If your GT is clean inside out, why don't you make a GT-S with TRD body kit + rear disk and swap 2zz, for around 4000 $ ?

[@just1n23lp6]

Haha! I checked out that same Celica. Guy would've taken 2800$

[@iDayVids]

Just got another gts lol.

[@iDayVids]

And its yellow

[@tylergalikaev2142]

First

[@kaeosfactory]

Hey Aaron. The GTS IS a nice buy. Check out mines i painted myself and customized. Aka nightwing. Looking like friggin noob saibot. I got pics of it on IG. Maxkaeos let me kno what u think.

[@MotionBlurDevelopment]

man i'm glad you didn't buy that gt-s as it looks preety bad....it's better to invest money into your gt because you know what you have. You can do a 2zz swap aswell, there are a lot of nice 2zz engines in the US for around 2k $. I would really be interested in seeing that because i'm planning to do that aswell

[@red88alert]

buy a GTS. you won't regret it.

[@thetreverpitts]

I had a Toyota Celica GTS and they're very very similar to the Toyota Celica GT the only difference is you go from 140 horsepower to 180 horsepower that's it and you get leather interior

[@weliftnation2418]

trever pitts so not true I own a GT and two GTS. The Six speed is the difference.

[@sfisosg7904]

GIVE ME UR CAR PLS
