I review this last 7th generation of the Toyota Celica while going over what made it an iconic car of the early 2000s.

Put a cold air intake in the wheel well, drove it through about a foot of water during a down pour that caught me off guard after work, made the engine break down after a mile. Thought it was done for but she started up after 2 days and I was able to drive it to a hobby shop were I gave it a triple oil change, fuel cleaner, and shot the water out of the spark plugs ports. She runs as if that never happened now which is amazing for having water go into the engine. Old Toyotas are just enduring lol.

I have a 2004 Celica, just the 143bhp 1ZZ version - but I really enjoy driving it. It's lowered 30mm which helps the handling and while it doesn't have the power of my daily (Audi A6 3.0 TDI V6 stage 1 w/ 295bhp) it's a lot more fun and involving to drive on the twisty roads. I agree they're underrated little things.

as a GTS owner the 2zz version should of came lowered. Even with bigger rims/wheels it still sits a lil bit too high stock. Next mod for me is slightly lower stiffer springs which should help the high speed corner sketchyness since it gets unsettled if you go around corners 140kmph+ with a slightly bumpy road
@rushnerd
@rushnerd Жыл бұрын
@@atom608 Well they did give the TRD a very mild lower, but you're absolutely right, the rear end sits up way too high and you end up with horrible fender gaps. Mine is actually just fine in the front which I assume means the springs up there are tired and sunken in. My plan is to get KYB struts and TEIN H springs. They only lower an inch, but it shouldn't ruin the ride quality and SHOULD level out the car so it doesn't look as awful as it does right now. Just put 17" wheels and 225/40 tires on, they look pretty huge for the car lol, especially in the back, but I love the look. That and a plain silver upper grill made a huge difference.

Lexus does NOT go down the path that benz does with the crazy power figures and massive engines. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm no expert.

The coolant in it is already pink/red, I assume it's Toyota, So I'll stick with that. My bottle of Asian PEAK coolant is green so probably best to go with Toyota, just like my Supra had. I plan to get her condensation issue taken care of, all her motor mounts, and the liftbolt extraction done as soon as I can.

Yeah it's honestly a lot cheaper inside and I can see where they cut costs, but despite it all, I'm extremely happy with the car. I bought it almost KNOWING the GT-S was a major problem that needed a ton of work to NOT blow up, but it's completely untrue. With proper maintenance , this baby will last as long as a Camry while being X3 as fun. I love this car.

So while the problem years for this Celica are 00-02', as far as I can tell, the GT-S model does NOT suffer from the oil burn. Mine at 142K miles certainly does not. Unfortunately during these years of GT-S, the liftbolts witch actually give you the trademark GT-S valve lift at 6.2K RPM and beyond break and mine were. Was about $1,000 to fix that, but she is all sorted now and hitting valve lift is absolutely mind bending. After lowering her, changing out all the lights/wheels/tires/suspension it's an extremely impressive car even today. And it sure as hell looks better than most.

Only 1zz celica been awarded in magazines and regarded as best handling fwd sportscar ever. 4wd celicas are overrated, they didn't beat the competition, evo, sti. While 1zz celica defeated its competition (integra dc5 type s,r) on track like ebisu and other japanese tracks. You can find it online, test by keiichi tsuchiya and best motoring. 1zz model is most reliable platform of all celicas ever, and its best platform for turbo builds. Even scotty kilmer said that 1zz is best zz engine for reliability. Why kids are so toxic about overrated 90s cars and hate on anything 2000s. How is this car still underrated idk...

The 2zz wasn't an oil burner. The 1zz had really small oil drain holes under the oil control ring on the pistons. That's the root cause of the oil burning

It's true. The misinformation around the GT-S is enough for people to be scared away from it as I initially was with the whole oil sump g-force thing. It's really a non-issue and they are incredibly well made engines/cars.

@@rushnerd the oil pan thing for the GTS is kinda true though. You take a corner hard enough in lift and there goes your engine. They're fragile little bulletproof engines. A fraction of a second of oil starvation kills them. To be fair though, taking really hard turns at high rpm can kill any engine. Fairly positive that's what did my h23 prelude in

@@rushnerd but it's not as big a deal as everyone makes it. Just throw the 1zz oil pan on and it fixes the problem. Other than that you can literally beat on these engines all day and they'll laugh at you

I want one but I’m poor :( so it will have to wait until 2024 probably (I’m 18 years old new driver so insurance is kinda insane even for my 1.2L which does only 69HP. £2000 for the whole year ☠️ But when I do get enough money I’ll possibly get this or a 6th gen

You'll get there. I hear the GT's in UK are WAY cheaper than over here. I paid $7,500 for my 142K GT-S, but with the payment plan it's more like $10K and it needed $1,440 work on top of that. You should easily be able to pick up a high miles GT one at a fair price and it's a great first car.

In America? No sir. The fancy turbo or AWD Celicas are for Euro or Japan only. The 2ZZ Celica is the best you are going to get ever. Look, I was on the fence about the last gen Celica too, but IMO it's pretty much a brand new car and one Toyota doesn't make anymore, it's seriously a reliable gem that's EXTREMELY fun to drive with power to back it up.

Only 1zz celica been awarded in magazines and regarded as best handling fwd sportscar ever, wtf you talking about? Best celica ever for corners = 1zz celica. 4wd celicas are overrated, they didn't beat the competition, evo, sti. While 1zz celica defeated its competition (integra dc5 type s,r) on track like ebisu and other japanese tracks. You can find it online, test by keiichi tsuchiya and best motoring. 1zz model is best platform and most reliable platform of all celicas ever, and its best platform for turbo builds. Why kids are so toxic about overrated 90s cars and hate on anything 2000s. Your opinion is wrong.
