New to this one, where am I?

Hello all...

Celica number 5………… and I think the best yet.

Went up to Telford last night to pick up the Celica, What a drive with a guy that only just past his test and sat at 70 all the way, plus having to drop my lady off before hand, we set off 1hr 20mins late….. Got there around 21.30, had a brew, and a look over, looked super, a bit of paint missing from the front, a ton of service history, and a near fully stamped book. Wheels need a tidy, 2 original keys, cam belt done 14k ago….. And 64k on the clock!!!

Anyway, returned and got back at 12.15 last night having him follow me all the way back, yawn, at work for 06.00… so not making much sense at this point.

Here she is anyway.

Very bizarre Celica you have there. You've got GT-Four WRC goodies on a Euro spec GT.

Are you sure the motor is 2.2L ? Because Euro spec GT comes with a similar 2.0 engine that JDM has.

5S-FE is the 2.2L 140HP engine
3S-GE is the 2.0L 177HP engine (slightly less with Euro emissions)

But yeah, I noticed you have a hood spoiler which is for GT-Four WRC to prevent bonnet flex at high speeds.

Those front air deflectors are also common for GT-Four WRC as is the headlight spray jets.




And no you guys, it's not an SS-II or III there are too many telltail signs that this Celica did NOT come from Japan.
