I think the vlog style format is better, feels more real and more content is always good! I remember back in the day I think this model GT4 was not liked as much because it started to get a bit to heavy,but looks awesome!
Having briefly dabbled in making UA-cam videos myself (and never to the extent you have or with superior quality and perfected editing as you did/do) that thought did go through my head, thinking of the amount of effort and time it must've taken you to produce those cinematic and incredible videos, which are like candy to the eyes in terms of car reviews! But good on you mate for getting back to how you really wanna conduct this whole channel, and getting back to being more in align with what you wanna do, and not just what you think others may prefer or like. I commend you massively on being so super honest and true to yourself! Cant wait to see your channel as you move forward and always here to support like many others :)
This thing is so beautiful! I have a 1986 Celica ST161 unfortunately it's fwd but it's super light and has good low end torque. The body kinda reminds of AE86, MR2, and FC. Its my moms car and I' trying to rebuild it but there's just so much money that it needs 🥲
Keep it up man, always loved your past vids, but I definitely enjoy the vlog style. Nice and casual, raw sounds, very real. Won't mind the odd pull still
Having owned a late spec one of these cars since 2005 - my comment maybe a little biased :-) It's the only car I've owned in the last 25 years that I will never willingly sell. Through all the stressful times in my life - I just jump in this car and all my troubles become a distance memory. It's the one I'll keep on the road at all costs.
It's even better off the pavement. The duel LDS really hit the spot. Appreciate the video. I'd like to see more on this car if it's ever available to you. Thanks man.
Editing of yours is beyond beautiful. Like I am there. Not only that, the vehicles you have for this video are crazy clean. You don't alot of them but for you to drive them make it that special. Again like I am there. Keep it up.
Da car is a real beauty 👌luv the Super Strut Suspension and its sophisticated 4WD system with 3 differentials 🙏The style is the most Sensual among all the Celica generations.
such an underrated channel. This is my first video as i stumbled upon it looking at celicas (6gc owner) and it wont be my last. im very glad i came across this channel and I cant wait for you to blow up more than you have.
Sup Clay! Been watching your channel for a while now and all I gotta say is to keep going man, this channel is awesome and love going back to some specific videos just for the cinematics. You got that vibrant and vivid way to describe cars as a genuine enthusiast…… its the vibe bro 😎🤙🏽
Mate ur doing a great job no matter how u decide to deliver it to us just keep doing it. It’s like an auto history lesson it’s awesome keep up the great work if u ever come to Sydney I will let u take my machine out for a review . 😎
For anyone interested: these cars can be had in mainland europe and japan for under $15,000 USD. This gen is just now becoming legal in the US so expect a bit of a price bump but for the most part they are still one of the remaining jdm icons that hasnt skyrocketed
Looking forward to seeing more videos per week!👌 I know the time it takes to put these videos together! You have done really well so far clay👏 enjoy the content
Personally these vlogs/reviews seem much more raw and a better format than the cinematics of your old reviews. Can wait to see what other cars are coming up on the channel! 👌
Well done, what I like is that you are a true car nut as displayed by the variety of cars you showcase. As a true car nut as well I can say what ever format you upload your videos they will be fantastic as always and I will always be watching.
I don’t think this one was the WRC, one of 2500 or so made, there would normally be a spoiler on the top of the bonnet near the washers and it should have a water injection system for the exhaust manifold. I am lucky to own one and like you, love it to pieces. I have had mine for 16 years keeping it as standard as your reviewed vehicle but still with standard shocks and body kit. I have now taken it to spain to soak up the sun not the rain. Loved the review, keep up the great work
i have the exact same feeling with the fk8 compared to my dc2, fk8's a very capable car but quite numb compared to the dc2 and doesnt really leave a lasting impression on me
Dude, it's a great clip and I love the car, there is still one thing that popped in my eyes several times, I don't know who did the subtitles but the car's name it's wrong, it's CELICA, not " SELEKA " !!! Also I would like to see a review with the Celica Gen7 the GTS model!
he uses the european (and canadian) pronunciation. Ive seen japanese pronunciations go both ways and obviously from your comment you know the US pronunciation
You said it has trd coilovers it has standard st205 top mounts so you must have got it mixed up with springs 😀 great cars im a owner & know the cars very well
My brother had an ST205 at the same time I had a 2.5 twin turbo Toyota Soarer, We had a few drag races and he lost several times. It happens. To be honest his ST 205 wasn't that quick, It was ok cornering but not a super quick car.
At 6:55 you mentioned that TRD did some trickery to getting more boost is correct. However, I assume you did your research correctly, which would have revealed that, putting it bluntly; they cheated and got caught by the racing scrutineers at that time. This is the reason they were banned and there were some red faces at TRD and I do understand that you have to be diplomatic in what you say. All said, it took a lot of ingenuity and engineering on their part to come up with this trickery, which was painstakingly explained in several publications. I am a fan of WRC and have built scale models of WRC cars, which TRD collaborated with TAMIYA Model Company, which included the previous WRC Celica GT Four and subsequently the WRC Corolla but not this model, perhaps because of it notoriety? However, TAMIYA did make the street version of this car (which I have) but yet to build. I am pretty sure other teams may well have resorted to such measures back then, but were not caught. I do enjoy watching your video and do keep them coming. Thank you for indulging me.
i wanna see more of your own buildsssss
You got it man! Coming right up🔥
@@ClayWong LOVE YOU CLAY ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You certainly deserve a lot of credit for all the work you put in to keep your channel going for 2 years Clay your a legend. Cheers
The fact that you said it could be daily driven. I daily mine. So much fun to drive around.
Lucky enough to own a white ST205, completely stock. great weekend car
I think the vlog style format is better, feels more real and more content is always good! I remember back in the day I think this model GT4 was not liked as much because it started to get a bit to heavy,but looks awesome!
Just looked up on wiki my bad this gen is actually 90kg lighter than the first gen wow respect!
Thanks so much for the feedback and the support Ben!🙌
@@southaussiemotorsport7962 second gen was the one that everyone was after
Perfect car...wouldn't change a thing about it.

Love a 90's jdm classic ✌🏼
I like this format better, feels real and not over produced, keep up the great reviews.
I like this type of video not over edited. You have to stay in love with your craft to keep up the quality.

A dream car. This car is not valued enough !
That's the dream car hopefully by next year I'll have one of my own 🙏🏽
Same here mate, good luck! :D
GT4 is King !
Keep it up man, always loved your past vids, but I definitely enjoy the vlog style. Nice and casual, raw sounds, very real. Won't mind the odd pull still
You do whatever makes you feel good, people will gravitate to it, just keep it authentic..... Keep up the good work !!!!

New plans sound awesome man !! Keep it up !!
It's even better off the pavement. The duel LDS really hit the spot. Appreciate the video. I'd like to see more on this car if it's ever available to you. Thanks man.
This car is like the predecessor to the GR Yaris. So cool!
Yes.. And GR Yaris won a gain wrc 2021 after 19 years in Kenya
dont compare . The GT4 won really ! .
GT4 will laugh at the GR!
Editing of yours is beyond beautiful. Like I am there.
Not only that, the vehicles you have for this video are crazy clean. You don't alot of them but for you to drive them make it that special.
Again like I am there. Keep it up.
Scotty Kilmer's dream car.
Scotty Kilmer thinks it costs 8000$ a yr to maintain a used Porsche
My dream car😅
Da car is a real beauty 👌luv the Super Strut Suspension and its sophisticated 4WD system with 3 differentials 🙏The style is the most Sensual among all the Celica generations.
GT4 is a very underrated car
Capable of 600 hp

An absolute beauty!

Thanks so much for the kind words my man! Truly means a lot and I’m so glad you enjoy the content🔥
Great cars! I just forged my 3sgte in my st205. I also own an st204 with a red top beams that I daily. Love them to death!
I do miss my ST185.
I wish I could buy one of these in Australia. so expensive now. Legit my favourite car.
Honestly love the vlog style videos more, looking forward to the change man!
Appreciate the love brother!👊
Bro I really enjoy watching your videos and those jdm cars 😅 You doing great job man, keep going!
Can’t wait to put this 3s-gte gen 4 engine I just bought in my 1992 Toyota celica convertible! 😊👏
Mate ur doing a great job no matter how u decide to deliver it to us just keep doing it. It’s like an auto history lesson it’s awesome keep up the great work if u ever come to Sydney I will let u take my machine out for a review . 😎
For anyone interested: these cars can be had in mainland europe and japan for under $15,000 USD. This gen is just now becoming legal in the US so expect a bit of a price bump but for the most part they are still one of the remaining jdm icons that hasnt skyrocketed
200000km in bad condition in Japan
You don't even see these in Australia, like ever
They are just stored away by older toyota enthusiasts.
Looking forward to seeing more videos per week!👌 I know the time it takes to put these videos together! You have done really well so far clay👏 enjoy the content

Keep up the amazing work CLAY!👍👍❤️

Promax Auto always have the coolest JDM car😋
Thanks for the video, I subbed, dream car right there, I'm going away now to cry in a corner cause I'll never afford one hahaha
@ClayWong #Number1 #Vlogger
Love me some 90s Toyota, I may be bias as I daily it's fat younger brother the caldina gtt
Great car the Caldina!
Looks like Henley rd. Good rd for turns
Do not stop
Dream car.
Personally these vlogs/reviews seem much more raw and a better format than the cinematics of your old reviews. Can wait to see what other cars are coming up on the channel! 👌
The GT four doesn’t have to “live up” to the cars you mentioned, it came first, from a different time.
Well done, what I like is that you are a true car nut as displayed by the variety of cars you showcase. As a true car nut as well I can say what ever format you upload your videos they will be fantastic as always and I will always be watching.
Caught using the phone while driving, in Blackburn, Vic!!
Great review, keep them just like this one
I don’t think this one was the WRC, one of 2500 or so made, there would normally be a spoiler on the top of the bonnet near the washers and it should have a water injection system for the exhaust manifold. I am lucky to own one and like you, love it to pieces. I have had mine for 16 years keeping it as standard as your reviewed vehicle but still with standard shocks and body kit. I have now taken it to spain to soak up the sun not the rain.
Loved the review, keep up the great work
Love your work Clay either way you go with your reviews they will always be entertaining. Cheers bro.
i have the exact same feeling with the fk8 compared to my dc2, fk8's a very capable car but quite numb compared to the dc2 and doesnt really leave a lasting impression on me
Can't agree with you more Mike! The perfect comparison when it comes to the legendary Type R Honda's.
Second video I’ve watched on the channel. Content seems really good! Looking forward to seeing the way it goes in the future. Best of luck!
I love that car. It makes me sad that cars back than were something you were dreaming of having. New cars are boring ugly and huge.
Always been my favourite car😎👌👍
Can see ya eyes! Cool brother. Always loved these cars. They still hold their value too
Makes pigeon bank rd look flat 😳
Under appreciated classic
Japan the bidding for 900000yen with 280000 km , the getting popular with USA market open to import
Check out goo net exchange in Japan
I miss my red 94 gt4 replica
Gt4 so clean 😏👀🔥
Awesome videos, give it your best shot. Your videos are always fun and interesting.
My daily for the last 7 years.
Dude, it's a great clip and I love the car, there is still one thing that popped in my eyes several times, I don't know who did the subtitles but the car's name it's wrong, it's CELICA, not " SELEKA " !!!
Also I would like to see a review with the Celica Gen7 the GTS model!
he uses the european (and canadian) pronunciation. Ive seen japanese pronunciations go both ways and obviously from your comment you know the US pronunciation
In Australia its pronounced "Silly car"
I want to see a mini supra made out of a celica :)
Love the camera work
Rate the Bathing Ape drip 💧
the rusted skrew clips in the front, takes all about 5 secounds to remove them or replace them
Guys, does anyone know that Pioneer receiver model number? Looking one for my GT4
Hey we met that guy
Great vid luv this car !!!
Legend
Love the new video, i have always wanted to look into the gt-4, having owned a liberty rs turbo, they always seemed like a comparable car.
Am I the only person annoyed by the way he compares the Supra to the Celica. The Supra is not the pinnacle of Toyota
this guy is handsome
It looks so mean🔥
Man i want one someday.
But have only seen two of them in Norway
Initial D references.
You said it has trd coilovers it has standard st205 top mounts so you must have got it mixed up with springs 😀 great cars im a owner & know the cars very well
Good stuff, from your neighbor NZ
I want one!
you forget about the Caldina GT-Four came before the GR yaris
Damn those roads need some repairing bad lol
How many of these are left?
@ClayWong Luv ur Vlogs, do it for a Hobby!! One upload a week is already enough!!!!
What car did he say was his favourite? The 86 what?
God forbit i work 40hrs on a 40hr work week. Listen to yourself. Cool car tho.
The GR Yaris does not even approach this car's style level.
Awesome decision on the future of your channel 🙂
Try out a megane rs! Renault sport has gotta be some of the most underrated cars out there!
My brother had an ST205 at the same time I had a 2.5 twin turbo Toyota Soarer, We had a few drag races and he lost several times. It happens. To be honest his ST 205 wasn't that quick, It was ok cornering but not a super quick car.
Vlogging & please do a quick look over(mod list) at the start or at the end of your drive!!!
Do what you feel is right, mate. The rest will take care of itself :)
amaze car....#carlozsaint wrc celicagt4

Give me the gt4, my all time favorite :)
