I had one! I bought it brand new. Mine was a GT-S Coupe. It had a sunroof You're right, It was a blast to drive and handled like crazy. That's what made me buy it. I went to do a U-turn to catch up with a friend. I was in 4th, downshifted to 2nd, turned the wheel and popped the clutch. She drifted around the turn. When I popped the clutch the torque and the tires grabbed the street and the rest is history! The rear lights were on all of the celicas of that time. I replaced the wheels with 16 inch gold honeycombed Enkies and put the factory ones on my 76 Celica that made that car handle like crazy. All of this was done well before the dayz of Fast and Furious. My car was known from NY to Fla.

I had the 84 in high school in 1988. We called the rear light style back then bat wings, because of the way they flared. Mine wasn't a convertible, and didn't have the blood pressure option 😆 I got stuck in a waist high raging flood, got out dragged the car beside me until I could get it on higher ground. Went back once the water went down, started right up! Mine was a manual, OMG what a blast! Thanks for the video.

I had a blue 83 GT-S fastback with a 5 speed stick in high school that I swapped the 22RE for the turbo 22RTE from a junk yard 4Runner. Sadly mine had rust in all of the common areas for these cars. I ended up selling the engine and transmission and scraping the car because of the rust.

Good thing the '85 is easy to turbo

@HENRYSYOTAS 4 жыл бұрын

John Connor is it really tho ? How !! I know that you can run 5 psi on stock ecu I own a 85 celica

@fluxmasterfix 4 жыл бұрын

@@HENRYSYOTAS The pistons are the weak point, but everything else is built as strong as the 22RTE. So to 'build' the bottom end for boost is just pistons and rings (~$150). You can try to finagle the stock ECU to work with 7-8psi, but really it's just a bad idea. Even without turbo, an aftermarket ECU that removes the AFM will give you better HP/TQ (not much hp, but around 15-20ftlb though). Change the ignition system to MSD and that'll be even better. So yeah, plug and play ECU and pistons and you can get at least 225whp. That really isn't much modification to more than double the power.

Do you think someone who's 6 foot could comfortably fit in the car? I wish the later Celica's where rwd cuz I'd rather have an 89 or even a 93 but whatever.

It would fit. I considered it. The better (and way cheaper) way is to change the throttle body and do other mods from LC Engineering. I've kept mine original for 34 years though.
