JDM Car of the Month - 1995 Toyota Celica GT-Four ST205 In-depth Review

[@musnireggie]

Hell yeah, thanks for the feature Jason!

[@mrpsd590]

One of the most under rated cars, that deserves a whole lot more

[@armandonavaaa366]

No it doesn’t keep it a secret

[@Promethean_NZ]

honestly it's an amazing car but I rather it stay quiet so it's not stupid expenssive for no reason.

[@ruelmalala5844]

I will look in the future of this model..my dream sports Japanese Car

[@Pwndaz]

This and the Pulsar GTi-R are the two most underrated monster JDM cars imo

[@musnireggie]

Jason, that sounds like a good car for next jdm car feature! Pulsars are like mini GTR'S.

[@zodiac8786]

Thanks to fast and the furious movies why they became underrated

You can get these In Italy with left hand drive

[@M_is_for_Monty]

Nice looking car. Lov what Toyota did there, hate they stop making Celicas and didn’t do it on their last version. Now, coil overs means bumpy cars on low speed, unfortunately. They are ment for high speed. The faster you go, smoother the ride.

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

I totally agree with you 15:18 when you go awd you don't go back.. Used to have an 86 Nissan Sentra notch back, awd and it plowed through snow like it was nothing. Amazing. Then had a usdm B4 Legacy and couldn't live with the mpg. Now I'm back in a awd Honda CR-V with the real time awd and a manual trans and loving ir

[@Adventureswithmike1]

I owned a 2000 celica gts 6 speed and I loved it still I sold it. Because my wife wanted a car with 4 door because she was pregnant...now 10 years later I look for another one.

[@nicojuro]

If you look hard enough you can find an ST185 for 8-10k and it has the based 3SGTE. Celica GT-S are badass though, the 2zz fucking screams!

[@Adventureswithmike1]

Yeah I had so much in my celica

[@talk2thoran]

Make her walk!

[@narlycharley]

I miss mine.

[@JibaroCZ4A]

Dope car. I want this to be my 3rd Celica for sure. 5th gen is nice but this is as mean as an Evo V!

[@JibaroCZ4A]

You can tell the owner is a real Toyota guy. Dude knows the cars history.

[@Lychnuchus]

Really clean ST205, Like it! Nice but subliminal mods that fit the car perfectly. As a ST202 owner I'm pretty jealous!

[@johnconnor7501]

The proportions of that car are perfect. Really cool car

[@shionysolis]

Man I love me a good Gt -four so happy you reviewed it

[@CaptTwo6]

Shiony Solis Thanks and I enjoyed it

[@1gt4dude]

Few things to note, ALS, Water injection & water spray parts are installed but blocked up, sealed and disabled. They are there for group A homologation, google it if you need to. The cambelt cooler is also blocked off if you dig through there you would have to cut some holes etc, fun fact the original ST165 WRC cars had overheating troubles, including snapping cambelts. Nice car anyway! Tidy.

[@steelernation4321]

Every time I watch your vids, I can’t help but to think about initial D, which I’m currently rewatching the whole show 😂

Paolo Fonseca hahaha my bad

[@Hellgate1984]

Great video and walkaround, You should lookup Toyota Caldina ST246W-N also featured 3SGTE and AWD from GT Four Celica! I own one and its great car with great roots!!!

I have a 1995 Celica Gt. and it's so much fun to drive! Can't imagine driving a GT4.

[@jac1793]

whats the difference

[@RCrider185]

Love the look of the clean simple factory look...but the factory Trim Kit & Rally spec spoiler are a must on these cars

[@SupraB007]

Great video except for the chick car comment lol. I love my 2004 action package TRD Celica GTS 6 speed and owned a few all trac ST185. I’m currently looking to import an ST205 and this video was a great in site on the car. Thanks

[@musnireggie]

Haha. It blew my mind so I had to put it out there.

[@JeffriRanger]

That red color looks really good

[@johnnywood5931]

Fun fact about the 94 st205 anti-lag. If you set it up, you WILL need to rebuild your turbo after every run. But it was the first car to have anti-lag in wrc. They also need another CPU to run the water injection.

[@titanninjawarrior]

Toyota was way ahead of its time with the watercooling. I'd kill to have that. Please don't change it.

[@musnireggie]

I actually just bought a refurbished chargecooler pump to keep it going haha

[@dave_roacha]

Best Celica ever. 🤙🏼👍🏼

[@heathstreet827]

The 3sgte on the gtt caldina has a different intercooler than the gt4 which isn’t water cooled

[@TheDon62]

Heath Street my 93 Celica has a 4th gen 3sgte/Caldina GTT motor, it’s a slightly larger TMIC than in the previous gens, the WTA intercooler also came on the 5th gen GT4 group b RC versions.

[@evoivowner7732]

The IV is looking so cool (despite being in shot for just a few seconds)! The GT4 is pretty smart too 👍

[@A7Xforlife99]

great review but I'm pretty sure the trd wing was originally for the celica not the supra but bolts on to both. there's a picture of the original manufacturer's upgrades from Toyota from when these cars were new.

[@musnireggie]

Bam, throw some knowledge.

[@andrewmerglowski780]

Not sure if it's been said, but the 7th gen GTS came with a 2ZZ-GE (not FE) and was a VVTL-i engine (not vvti). The UK/JDM spec offered 190BHP while the US received a 180BHP (Ecu and fuel trim differences). Was a fairly impressive car for the early 00's having a better power/weight ratio than a bug/blob eye wrx in the states. Still a really good vid, wouldn't mind seeing more gen 7's in the future besides at the junkyard lol

[@CaptTwo6]

Andrew Merglowski Good information and I always get the 1zz/2zz confused ha. I used to own a MR-S back in the day and a lot of Spyder owners swapped the 1zz for the GTS engine

[@andrewmerglowski780]

@@CaptTwo6 haha no worries, I have 4 7th gens and have done a ton of work with them. Also have a few friends into the MR-S's that are doing the 2zz swaps currently! Keep up the content, between you and Mighty Car Mods I can enjoy my lunch at work 😂

[@CaptTwo6]

Andrew Merglowski Thanks I really appreciate that

[@vitovitale9867]

Sorry that is not the spoiler off of a Toyota Supra Mark 5 rather it's the TRD spoiler part of the body kit sold on the late model Toyota Celica (USA 2000-2005) also because the width is greater in the Supra and I cannot possibly believe it would fit also I own both a similar 98 and a later 2003 Toyota Celica so I am pretty sure that matches the one on my car.

[@TimeTrialTomo]

If the owner wants to "keep it as stock as possible" he needs to not touch it 😂 Also that charge cooler pump is whining because it's about to fail. Get that sorted and it'll be a quiet as a mouse :) Fantastic cars. I have a red WRC model, with sunroof ;) no other car gives me the same feel. Recommend to all!

ive always loved that its like the supras lil brother . there so beautifully made its a shame that toyota doesnt make any good looking cars any more. i didnt even like the newer 86 . and thats crazy it has stock anti lag . im the same age as that beauty ! first thing id do is change the color and possibly think about getting rid of the 4 banger . wonder if a 1j or a 2j would just drop in . ive never been in a awd car i love burnouts and getting sideways lol. very good video

I say if you can't get a Supra Get you a GT4/ baby supra. I wish I could see this car in person. I had a 95 celica. Now I own a 94 prelude vtech.

Sweet ride, did you state a rwhp? I'm thinking 200? Damn, no sunroof!

[@megane_mark]

The way round it is too disable the tsv and t in a boost controller off the turbo to the wastgate. I run 1.1 bar in all gears , enjoy the car ! I have a 94 wrc the anti lag is dormant and takes a lot of work to get functionality! Ps.your chargecooler pump bearing has gone

[@sonnyrelf6803]

Thus is amazing I know it's late to respond, but does he still have the car

[@Panteraguy2007]

You should get the face lift projector front lights and the rear face-lift rear clear indicators lights. Just some facts the 1994 wrc came with dummy anti lag and front charge cooler spray bar but they don't work from factory they have to be activated and if you do the anti lag will blow your turbo after a few hours that's why the wrc cars had it as they rebuilt engines every rally. Also that cam belt vent is a dummy on all gt4s it goes nowhere. Also the charge cooler pump should not be that loud it's on its way out very soon as they do wine before they give up

[@webweasel4401]

100% correct. Try sourcing those front lights though... Your gonna pay. ;-) I did wonder why his charge cooler pump was so loud. After 12 years and a total of 151k miles mine is not audible at all. However, I keep mine religiously maintained.

[@musnireggie]

You guys are worrying me about my pump now Haha so in Japan we have jci inspections and for me to pass I had my pump replaced but I didn't do the work myself... I'm about to buy another pump at this rate as the charge cooler is better at keeping lower intake temps and virtually no lag is awesome.

[@Panteraguy2007]

There is a crowd in England who fully rebuild the pump which would be a better option than a second hand pump. They are called gt4 play if I remember right. Alot of people go fmic and don't notice that much of a difference in temps but you wa t oem look

[@antrinh5525]

the owner probaly don't know much mechanically, please don't go that so call jdm tuner ricer route. toyota know wat they're doing, that car was winning the wrc , they built the car so well other mades were crying foul cause they couldn't keep up. and they were deemed cheating just because they knew how to set up the motor well. and one of the reason to keep the motor making constant boost was using the water intercooler. a big ass front mount intercooler may look "cool" but it aint gonna keep the intake air temp as low as the water cool intercooler. i wish one day i would get a chance to own one of these, i would keep everything the way it is. this thing is a real beauty, no need for any of the dumb jdm ricer mod.

[@musnireggie]

Tracking, also Toyota admits not everything they did was right, such as the super strut, they removed it on their wrc cars in favor of McPherson's. Dont get me wrong I love my charge cooler and I do plan to keep this as stock as possible but we will see what the future holds because honestly just the way it is stock is amazing enough for me.

[@antrinh5525]

@@musnireggie the owner has the right to do watever he please. As for the wrc rules, i dont know how its considered cheating? U do watever to make ur motor and suspension better than ur opponent right? Isnt it how competition is all about?

[@musnireggie]

@@antrinh5525 oh dood I totally agree with that statement they were just salty Toyota kept winning Haha also soon as I got the car the charge pump went out... then I read that it just how it is and that they dont last long because they're electrical and pretty much always engaged so they just burn out. From long time owners they suggested just going fmic for simplicity. I love the charge cooler though its unique. Imo it wasnt cheating hence my air apostrophes haha

[@scottlafferty6857]

@@antrinh5525 Its cheating as all the wrc cars in that group had to have the same sized restrictors for the inlet of the turbo. TTE devised a system where the port would open up as boost was applied, increasing the air the turbo could provide. Otherwise the only way to open it was with a special tool or a very lard amount of force. That's why the head of the FIA said it was the most ingenious piece of engineering he had seen in 30 years of motorsport.

[@jespurrier]

Mate I'm sorry you don't know what you're talking about. Please research the reason Toyota got banned from competing with the st205 as it's more interesting than your nonsense. Also we had a name for the charge cooler setup on the GT four forums in the UK. We called it a 'top mount inter warmer' or 'failure box'...
