- Cory came to one of our shoots but be didn't have time to do a full review of his Celica. I didn't want him to go home with nothing. We took a drive down the highway and back in his Celica GT Tsunami Edition. Cory has a nice collection back where he lives. Cory and his toys will return in future videos.

Let's not kid ourselves. It's not like you were between the Celica and the Supra and chose this because it's a better daily. You bought the Celica because it's all you could afford.
That's absolutely right. 6th gen Celica for my first car, second one will be a Supra. But the FWD is waaayyy better for me, since I live in Finland and there's snow about half of the year.
I was looking for a comment like this because I knew I wasn't the only one thinking it. A stock Supra is very reliable and a much better overall vehicle.
@@GuardiansOfNorth did you buy supra bro 🤣
Mr. Regular _literally_ says that before the first minute of the video is done.

Still waiting on a proper RCR review of a 7th gen Celica GT.
And 5 years later you are still waiting
If that car had been RWD, it would have been the AE86ish car we all wanted back then.
Except that isnt the point of Celica's since Supra got split off as separate model and not a trim in the early 80s. It was there up to that point. Celica's crown jewel instead of Supra is GT-Four which has something supra never had and never will true 4WD. GT-Fours are incredibly easily tuneable without new parts aside of ECU to 300bhp territory which is what rally versions had. They are cheaper to get and far more practical grippy and fun than Supras, You will also have curvy shapes and pop ups with ST185. And you can fit people in the rear seats unlike Supra and to daily it too, and to have loads of fun on snow and tons of grip and amazing handling and giant trunk. If you can afford to get ST185 or ST205 then go for it, in US it was called All-trac instead of GT-Four.
I love how the RCR short is longer than most reviews :D
>short
>video is about as long as your typical RCR review
pls
They r lie.
Other episodes involve writing jokes, shooting for those jokes, and editing. They just drove and talked.
I've already had this discussion on Reddit.
I smirked at this too.
Whenever you reveal your identity Mr. Regular you should try to somehow get on Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee with Jerry Seinfeld that would be amazing
Franky Leandri SUPER life goal!
RegularCars Jerry always seems to try and bring a car to suit the personality of the guest, if Mr. Regular were to appear on the show, what would the car be to suit HIS personality?
J Burner I think it would be the 1st generation turbocharged Dodge Caravan with the five speed. Great for both giving the people the business and hauling kiiiidddddsssss.......
+J Burner First gen MR2!
You think we'll get to see that Talon when he gets the thing fixed up?
I'd love to hear you chime in on "FAST AND THE FURIOUS LOOKALIKES! HNNNGH NOT AN ECLIPSE BUT IT GOES LIKE ONE"
He has some facts wrong about the GT-S
The weight of a GT is 2425 while a GT-S weighs 2500 (manuals) also a GT-S only has 180 hp with 130 lbs of torque. Notable differences between the two models is a GT-S as a Yamaha tuned motor with a higher red line which is up at 8300rpm versus 6800 on a GT. The GT-S makes peak power at 7800rpm and torque at 6800rpm also it has a 6 speed manual or a 4 speed triptonic (please don't drive one they're super slow with the 4 speed). Other differences are the GT-S has slightly larger front brakes in the 2000 year (the GT became the same size after 2000) also GT will only have drum rear brakes while the GT-S has 2ply solid rear disk brakes. Tach goes to 9k rpm and 160mph on the cluster and usually came with the 16" wheel option (upgrade was only about 70 dollars from 15" to 16"). All in all a GT-S drives completely different because of the lack of low end torque you have to rev out the motor.
The SS-II makes 190 HP though, it's pretty easy to confuse. At least I'm pretty sure that's the case.
ßIGpoppaKEGdog™ Yup, that's right. It has one of the Yamaha-made 2zz's, but unfortunately they only produce 130 lb-ft of torque, so they aren't quite as punchy as you'd expect.
ßIGpoppaKEGdog™ Yeah in the states the Celica got the worst, de-tuned motor, manual only HVAC, non-folding mirrors, and no stability control. Europe and Japan had much better options such as the SS-II had the option of "Super Strut" suspension which is wishbone up front rather than Macpherson struts, optional 1.5 way helical differential and Europe had the option of 17" wheels as well along with additional redesigned exteriors
I had one of these. 2004 Celica GT. It was the first car I ever owned with a stick shift, and the second car I ever owned. It was my introduction into the world of cars and car culture, and I loved that thing. I was 18 when I got it, and kept it spotless for about six months. Then, as any stupid kid does, I modified it. Nothing irreversible, just a rear wing and headlights and taillights. It was dumb looking in retrospect, but that reversable offence was forgivable. What wasn't was what I did this June.
I drove my buddies up to a campground up a gravelly logging road, and by this point I was obsessed with the earlier GT4 and Alltrac Celicas. And after driving that road once, I went back, only this time I drove fast. And like any idiot who thinks he's a racing car driver with no experience, I crashed it. Entire front radiator assembly was ruined, and I had to limp the car back to my home a few kilometers away. I was only obsessed with more horsepower and faster corners and race parts galore. I just couldn't be satisfied with what I have.
Now I have a 2006 Corolla XRS. 2ZZ-GE powered, 170 horsepower, VVTL-I and all that. Now I have the better engine and 6 speed transmission and all disc brakes, but this time I know how to love what I have.
My lesson to you all, and my plea, is if you do modify such a fun and lovable car like a Celica, or a Corolla, or even a Miata or Civic, make sure it is a reversable modification. Intakes are fine, wheels are fine, spoilers are fine, just make sure someone in the future can enjoy that car the way it was built if they wish. And Never, EVER ruin such a wonderful creation just because of a stupid impulse. It may be just a lost toy to you, but to the world it's one fewer machine that could have been enjoyed and loved for many years more by someone else. And if you do crash one, try your best to get it repaired. It's okay to want more horsepower and a faster car, but don't ruin your current one to do that. The world needs more fun cars, and anyone who ruins fun affordable cars like this deserves a detuned Crossover SUV with sixteen pillars and no visibility for the rest of their life, me included.
The 1ZZ-FED is not bad for what it is (economical, reliable) but you gotta try a GT-S sometime with the 2ZZ-GE.
It just called the 1zz-fe
It has a pretty nice interior even for today's standart.
Pretty nice, not euro quality though. Still love it because of the styling
Rob Battochio You do know not all European cars are high end luxury cars, right? They're some European cars with shitty interiors.
SCHWARZENEGGER55 yes I am aware, you do understand that I would be referring to the cars with higher quality interiors
Rob Battochio No you didn't refer to them. You referred to European cars. Not just BMW, Mercedes, Bentley, etc. Anyway of course a Toyota Celica's interior quality doesn't compare to luxury European cars interiors. It's a fucking 10 year old Toyota!
Ouch, the European Celica GT, known as the vvti, came with discs all-round.
Watching this while sitting in my own 2005 celica :)
WAIT. Mr Regular wants to drive a 4th gen Camry??
I JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE ONE. V6 and a stick, too. COME TO WI.
and you're ever in Missouri I've got a 3rd gen with a 4cyl and 5spd, power nothing and it's that weird silver/tan/purple non-color that Toyota loved back in the early 90s. Seriously, it's the worlds most beige car in every regard possible
That's one magnificent sled
Weird how Toyota kept diluting the Celica more & more into just a stylish commuter coupe despite its rallying heritage. & then they didn't even keep it -they effectively replaced it /w the tC. Wtf?
tC - (T)oyota (C)elica
Sorry, kinda blew my mind lol.
Dakota Winnie My mind = also blown. Wonder if that's true?
s50201
The tC is a sorta spiritual successor to the Celica. At least in my mind it is.
***** how lol celica is much faster
its a shame the st205 gt4 never made it to the us shores
It’s crazy that actually remember the storm he was talking about. I was 7 at the time and I live in NYC and my mother didn’t drive yet so it took forever to get bus for her to drop me off at my aunts house and for her to go to work.
I completely forgot about the whole thing. It’s so much warmer in NYC winters these days
In the UK the GT is called a VVTi. It also has discs all round (I've put the larger Avensis disc/caliper set up on the front of mine, an 03) and six gears (not five which I believe was standard in the US). 125 mph max. Very cheap to buy and maintain, quite pretty, reasonably fun to play with on twisty roads although you have to work it hard (above 5k) to access whatever modest power it does possess however weekly oil level checks are ESSENTIAL if you're revving it regularly. It'll not rust away for a good while yet and it's very reliable. Drop the back seats and it's surprisingly accommodating (mountain bike with front wheel off plus camping gear). Perhaps just a bit tedious on the motorway/highway and the seats are not generously padded but there's lots of room; I'm 6'2" and I have to bring the seat forward a little. With winter tyres, you can even feel confident in the snow. Overall a good basic sporty little machine which won't empty your wallet.
Great review, and the speedometer being set up with 60 so far over does provide for some accidental speeding if you don't pay attention. I drive a Tsunami GT as my daily and it is excellent for that task, and the mpg is great, especially considering it is ten years old now. Many people dislike this car and I see why, so many people riced them out and acted like they were fast.... Sure the GTS had the "lift" at the top end, but still.. What the celica lacks in straight line speed in makes up for in grip in the bends, it is such a fun car to drive while still remaining functional. And at least its not a prius....
What an... Interesting(?) collection he must have.
Tsunami looks so clean! I have a seventh gen gts and I can acclaim that this is a great car. Not the best performer, but once you get over the looks being ahead of performance, its a great car to toss around corners and just a joy to rev the motor to 8,000 rpms. It's Fwd and it shows it at the limit, but the limit is pretty high in itself. Celica feels like it wants to dart around everywhere. Once you lower it, it turns it into a gokart.
That comment about the gear box really reminded me of when I learned to drive in a manual Rav4. I always felt like I was doing something wrong because I never managed to put it in 1st smoothly. Of all the nostalgia moments you breed this was the weirdly easiest to trigger.
I had a GT-S. Not for long, but it was ridiculously fun. It couldn't do more than about 140, but for city driving, it was a blast, especially on highway on-ramps. Stock, it could chirp tires from 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, and 3rd to 4th. And an 8K redline. Oh, and lift. Lift was fun.
i personally love the celicas. I drove a 95 GT and a 2001 GTS which was the last generation for the celicas. Even though it not super fast it still beats a few competitors out there, very fun to drive over and over again, and looks sexy if you know what to do with it. Overall, im grateful this car exist and i would consider this car my Lambo or any other exotic sports car out there
my grandmother had a 1989 Celica ST way back in the day, as a 9 year old kid I thought it was cool. She later gave it to my brother sometime in 1995 as his first car, then drove it across country. He said he had a lot of electrical issues with it. Eventually traded it in for a '96 Ford Probe.
Love your UA-cam channel sir! You put me in cars that I've always wondered what the pov would've been like, keep it up!
140hp in this car should be quite peppy. That's the same as an Acura Integera from the 90s minus a few hundred lbs!
I test drove one got on it a bunch then check engine light came on and it's really slow and it's made for short people.
connerconn
Lol. Well that's no good.
He says he got on it and the CEL came on. There you have it. Engine problems was probably why it felt slow.
it's slow 140 hp isn't fast as soon as the cel came on I took it right back.
gts model with maybe a supercharger/procharger if they have all in one kits online to make up for torque, this thing could be a sleeper for sure!
I recently got an 01 Celica GTD as my first manual car, and yeah I couldn't afford a Supra for sure; but redloght to redlight and down the back roads here in east TN the 2zz is peppy and fun. Cause you can go balls to the wall in a GTS Celica or daily it conservatively.
Take no offense but......if you properly downshift (i.e. rev match) it will go into first.
I was wondering where you get the strings for the cargo door on the hatchback
I have a 2001 GT-S and its a fun little peppy car. It does fall behind the supra in a lot of ways, but for what it is and how much i bought it for, its a pretty good car to own!
I had a 2000 Celica GTS that I absolutely loved. Nice video Mr. Regular!
Thank you Roman! I also loved the FF6 reference.
That FF6 intro was so epic.
Hey you're in Lancaster! Next time you're here, I have an ordinary 2004 Mazda 3 hatchback you can review.
I didn't expect to watch a video on Celicas and have my opinion on FF6 reaffirmed as one of the best FF stories.
I own a 2001 Celica (European standard version (143 hp). Only modification I did was adding the official spoiler (just looks better with it). It's my first car and I'll be keeping it for a while. It's sporty enough, the engine noise when you push it a bit is great and the mileage is more than decent.
When I drove through Germany last summer, my top speed was 215km/h (134mp/h). I think I could have gone a bit faster, but not much. It might make 140, but then you're really pushing it (too far).
really hope I can get on here with my prelude when he comes to california
This design has aged well..... Anyways Cory seems to be a great guy!
AND WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THAT REDLIGHT??????? That light took ages!
That's why i bought one in 2002. 16 years of ownership and the styling is still up to date.
The feels when Mr.Regular does your car
watching it in 60fps looks great!
hello i would like some advice i have just been offered a toyota celica fwd 170bhp convertible i want a project car but is there many engine swaps i could do i would like to make it a sleeper should i take it and will fwd be a problem
That chipmunk @ 2:30 though
Squirrel.
that word
Dam, I was waiting for this day. Now I have to wait on the full review with the jokes lol
I had a 2005 celica gt for 7 years and bought it used with a manual and it was one of the funnest cars to drive. That design was way ahead of its time. Some say it still is👍
The day after Christmas 2010 was insane lmfao here in jersey
Im sure im beating a dead horse here, but as a former owner of a GT and a current owner of a GT-S, the GT is no comparison. You need to Drive a GTS. Lift is AMAZING!!!! which the GT does not have. and lowing it, makes it handle insanely well. However, AWD,like some of the older models. would have been nice.
He drove Elise and had an orgasm while accelerating so he knows what this engine can do, someone just has to coem to them for them to shoot the review, and with ST185 Celica GT-Four/Alltrac to them too.
@@Kacpa2 I own a 2001 GT-S and while it's automatic with paddle shift; it's suck a fun car to drive.
What do you mean by the lift is amazing like the height of the car?
@@shlop375 The 2ZZ-GE's version of VTEC basically
This video was too wholesome
I have an MR-S and Im' pretty sure I put the same aftermarket shift knob on as this guy. So I have the same steering wheel and shift knob. Nice.
1ZZ engine, same as the MR2 Spyder. Said MR2 would benefit greatly from the 2ZZ engine found in the only front-drive Celica that should have been offered, the GT-S. You've probably mentioned this in the video, but I wanted to get it out of the way before I forgot. Rather than see a RWD Celica, I'd prefer a return of the All-Trac GT-Four. Fun fact: The Lotus Elise uses the 2ZZ Toyota engine. In my opinion it's a better motor than Honda's K-series.
Owner of a Corolla sportivo (XRS in America I think?) here, the 2ZZ is such a fun motor and doesnt get the recognition it deserves.
They're good motors but they cost significantly more to get more power out it than a K series motor which usually makes the K series motors more popular.
Fun fact a 2zz hooks up to E153 which is the SW20 MR-2 Transmission (3SGTE) and a ST205 GT-Four also uses a 3SGTE so you could TECHNICALLY hook up a 2zz to an AWD powertrain from a ST205 or even a ST185
I owned a 88 Celica GT-S (ST162) for a short bit, but it was a lemon. Would LOVE an ST165 actually, though the 185 and 205 are "better."
>found only in the celica
Wrong, actually, It's in my Corolla, and some Lotus Elise
I never said the 2ZZ was found ONLY in the Celica. Read it again.
If I’m not mistaken this video was taken at longs park in Lancaster pa. I have the same color celica manual.
What year Prelude are you looking for? I'm just curious, not selling or going to point you any place.
Man, I'd love to get some of my cars on RCR. Id like to see my 72 Torino, 2014 Scion Tc, and my 78 CJ.
You've gotta review the gt-s sometime!
What radio do you have in there?
That whole checking for first is a thing I need to do because I've been driving since may and nope. Keep forgetting it's in 3rd. Makes awkward scenarios at empty crossroads where i just sit there for 10 seconds as I get my life together, Not so bad at busy 'intersections' though.
Liking the Choking Victim patch.
You seriously needa to a review on a Geo Metro. Its the most perfect car to be reviewed on your show.
I cant wait until you review an Acura integra (third gen) If I were up north I would absolutely lend you mine to review! Its the most fun fwd car ive driven
The Halloween blizzard 2012...what a nightmare.
So how do you do a manual celica gt but not a manual gts?
Yesss finally got to see my car on your show but sad its not a full review :( still love these side episodes which ad more great content on your channel, just wish you would talk a little more about the car you're in instead of others. Still loved it though.
Just excellent.
I love this car so much. I have the Corolla with the same engine.
Oh wait this is the 140, i have the 190 engine
that year of Celica is such a girls car
to help putting the first gear while moving you need a stabilizer you can make one whit the stock left trunk strut connected from the front bar were the bumber is bolted on to to the right side of the engine from behind use the bolt of the valve cover some bending and cutting is needed this only works for the 1zz celica
That giggle is Marissa Mayer tier but I love it.
My engineering teacher twin charged an aw11. Super down low. Centrifugal clutch, bam turbo time! Come to New Zealand, I'll hook you up!
4:18 Dat Saab 9-5 Wagon.
What is the model of the radio in this car
the reason the celica was so great was because it was a car that could fit a vast array of people, and still satisfy spirited driving habits. I daily a 1992 GT 5 speed with just shy of 110k and it's an absolutely brilliant car. Say one day i could afford a supra, i wouldn't ditch the celica just because in terms of a daily driver its about as practical as you can get for a two door from toyota, ever. although i will say the last absolutely class dominator celica toyota made was the 6th gen.
If you are ever in Arkansas, I have a 2003 Toyota Camry SE with the 5 speed manual and leather.
interesting, US 140 hp versio has drum brakes rear and i guess only 5 speed since reverse was at 6th gear location. European 140 hp has discs rear and 6 speed box
Is that Long's Park in Lancaster?
Wait he's getting you a supercharged AW11? Like to review or to own or what because you talked about daily-ing it
I had and loved a 2002 Celica GT and can say with certainty that it will do 140mph with enough space. Actually the US spec GT had a higher top speed than the GTS as the long 6th gear would drop the GTS out of the powerband. The eurospec 6speed had a shorter 6th gear and was the fastest transmission for the car in either trim.
Love the show!
I've got a 2005 gt manual and I know for a fact that it wont hit 140, it took me a LONG ass time to get to 120 and factory limits it at 129 mph
Jack Conner 1999->2003 at least were drag limited, not ecu limited. Try driving on a colder night. :)
It's funny because this has the same 1ZZ engine as the Corolla you drove. Celica just has a bit more power squeezed from it.
I may have misheard, but were you guys talking about quaaludes for a second?
"Prelude" actually, the Honda Prelude.
The 2ZZ-GE in the GTS versions of this car are very fun engines. I honestly think the VVTI-L in those is more fun than VTEC.
I love my 2003 Celica but I agree it needs to be rear wheel drive
I like being driven like this
Active torque transfer system on that Type SH! ;)
waiting on a review with a 2000 GT-S 6 speed, the 8300 rpm one.
owned my 2003 gts 6speed since new. very fun car to drive. it has 160hp til you hit 6000 rpm, then it gains 20hp from a large injector opening up and dumping extra fuel. so 6000rpm-8300rpm you have 180hp and feels like a turbo kicked in. easily does 135 in 5th gear without any trouble and very quickly. but to get the car past that needs a turbo or something. because when you shift from the 135mph 5th gear redline to 6th gear the rpms drop below 6000 and you lose the extra 20hp. 6th can maintain 130-135 but cant accelerate past it. i was only able to get mine to 140 on a steep downgrade. driving to vegas i will set cruise at about 120. feels and handles like your only doing 65, very stable and solid.
@@wolfsquared it's not a bigger injector, its the bigger cam.
@@alexvieira7945 I've only owned it 16 years
@@wolfsquared its not a bigger injector, its the bigger cam lobe and the valves opening more and for more time, and lift engages at 6200 not 6000, and it doesn't add 20hp when lift engages it adds 40hp, so yea.
@@alexvieira7945 very true.
RCR? More like RGR regular game reviews.
Jk jk. Keep up the good work regular. I always look forward to the notification on Facebook and UA-cam that you've uploaded a video.
Mr Regular mentioned at 3:15 that Hondas do take first, which completely isn't the case with my Civic. I have to completely crawling, nearly at a total standstill before it'll let me grab first which is actually pretty inconvenient a lot of the time.
It's weird how well these things keep their value. It's also weirder that Toyota never made a RWD version. Agree entirely.
PRELUDE PRELUDE PRELUDE!!!!!!!
***** my love is too deep
Wouldn't be an RCR short without an abrupt ending. Great video. Such Likes.
Wait, where was the review part of the video?
what radio is that? lol .
i think the celica is a perfect first car. I might be biased though, because its my first car.
How do you smoothly shift gears in a celica? when ever I let go of my clutch fast it jerks, if I let it go slow it still jerkz... :/ I usually shift at 3,000 rpm. Can someone please teach me how drive this smoothly?
ps. It is the 2000 celica gts
+Eduardo Bermejo its cause you have to be really smooth with the manual. Clutch eases out as you ease in the gas. Everything is about balance
I love my '95 GT! 80K miles. And I perfectly agree... I can't afford a supra
Engine wise it seems like a near stock Celica?
I'd really love to see a GT-S reviewed. I own one and it's a blast!
Sick, he has a Choking Victim patch on his jacket.
maybe i´m going to get one as my first car. :)
Did you ever get it?
Ultimate Nope my first car was a Golf MK5 GTI. Currently I‘m driving a MK7 R.
@@Wieditox Ahh, nice! I was looking into getting a car with more cargo room, but I thought the celica would suffice, should I update you on how the celica is once I get it? It'll be about a year from now sadly.

My first car when i was 16 was a 02 Celica GT, Some lady T-boned me and totaled it. I miss it SO much. If i could find one in good condition id buy it in a heart beat.
If you're ever near the Northern New York area i have a 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 you can review!
Your past couple of reviews have been lagging on me really badly. I tried your other videos, and they work perfectly.
Awww I love my celica but I have thought many times over strategies to split the unit body and make it rwd lol... I think I could do it with an IRS (subframe, inboard brakes, etc) from a late 70's jaguar xjs (of course I would scrap the 1zz in favor for something like a SBC lol)... add a cage, wide body the fenders, make jessica alba fall madly in love with me, win the lottery... you get the idea.
