7th generation Celica's got good reputation, and I have got many compliments on mine when just sitting at a red light with rolled down windows and open sunroof (which makes car even more aggressively stanced). I do not see people giving compliments to BMW or Mercedes owners because their cars are no longer unique or aggressive like the 7th Gen Celica.
Yes , a nice well kept clean 7th Gen Celica is always a head turner there's so many that are in bad and beat up or riced condition tho.
Everything in this video is one word.... FACTS . Trust me over 300,000 miles and mine still screams down the highway (Testament to doing 105 late night and got busted with a warning) and comes to a dead stop after top speed no vibration no knocking no rattling but purr's like a kitten ready for more. Recently had the alternator changed in the 300,000 range and the tech at the Toyota center said that alternator was the original that came with the car. I took it to Toyota cause that bottom bolt to loosen the Alternator was torqued very tight. So tight I started to strip the bolt. But over 300,000 and first alternator change.... TOYOTA QUALITY right there people.
I just bought a 2000 gts..Have you ever replaced the water pump,fuel pump timing chain?? Just asking my car has 200,000 miles on it...Trying to figure out when to start replacing parts thanks
@@danielbricker8664
Congrats on your GTS... Very Good Buy. Even over 300,000 miles I never replaced the water pump. But I would advise just to keep the good radiator fluid in it. Make sure that fluid is not dirty full of rust. Cause good clean Radi' fluid will lube the water pump. I changed my Fuel pump every other tune up. Along with the Filter, Strainer Screen and Fuel Pressure Regulator. You can tackle that your self its easy and full-filling. UA-cam has a vid on changing it just follow along with the chic in the vid.
Here is the vid ( ua-cam.com/video/p1Y1oWT8paE/v-deo.html )
On the topic of the fuel pump make sure you at least keep half of tank of gas in the tank. This will make sure your pump is staying cool by keeping it submerged under the gas level. Running the pump dry (not submerged under the gas level) will over heat it. The timing chain, the manual recommends adjusting it at the 300,000 mile mark. They say adjust but what they mean is change it. But it can last a bit longer mine has 310,000 now and the chain is still tight. I change the MAF sensor every other tune up. A symptom to know your MAF sensor is dead is if you start the car it runs then dies quick. You can clean it every now and then but it will go bad on you at some point. It happened to me so now it gets changed every other tune up. If you can go for Denso parts for your tune ups. I run Denso Fuel pump, Fuel Injectors, Fuel Filter, Fuel Press Regulator, plugs, MAF sensor, Alternator, Ignition Coils (on the coils if not Denso I use QYL brand). Also be aware to change the ignition coil wire connectors. With over 300,000 miles the wires can sometimes dry rot a bit and cause the coils to not ignite the plugs correctly. When that happen the car will drive for a while then stop dead on you. No need to change the entire wire harness, just the connector and connector pig tail wire. I normally change the coils when I change the plugs just to be safe. As long as you stay on top of these and do your regular fluid changes you're good.
have you ever had a problem with intake wear camshaft mate?? and had to adjust valves at a service
I got a GT for $800 USD that looks like a sunburnt and peeling as all hell, and I'm always surprised at how many compliments that car gets for how good it looks.
Your vids convinced me to buy a Celica. Great quality vids keep it up man! 👍🏾
It's a design that has stood the test of time and which still looks better than alot of cars now days. Have owned my 01 Celica GTS from new and still own it to this day in impeccable condition with only 90,000km's on the clock. Not my daily driver but don't think I'll ever sell it neither, love it too much👍
Same here. Hope to keep it for 25 years.
i got a modified 03 GTS with a six speed manual. its the best car ive ever had. i definitely recommend anybody to get a celica. theyre beautiful, fun and very reliable
One of the best bang for your buck 1st car.
100% agree!
I own a 2000 Celica gts the only thing I'm just going to say about the early 2zz engines is the faulty oil pumps I got the MWR billet oil pump just to prevent that problem and switched the 2zz oil pan using the 1zz oil pan but otherwise Celicas are really good
How many miles are on your celica? And is it the original engine
It fixed the issue?
@@Notion2408 what about you? did you fix it ?
Cheers me up my 01 gt stick shift in white in perfect condition. Oil vampire I call it. Reminds me of the1986 mr2 interior and smell that I remember so dearly. I'm 56.
I just bought a beat up 2002 celica and I got a compliment the second day of driving it at a 7 eleven a girl in a Lincoln suv rolled down her windows and said nice car it looks unique maybe because I had the sunroof open it looks cool when opened because it slide out and up.
He said back seats are good to put people in.
Bro just described the main function of a seat 😂
I have an normal 2003 Celica t23 , I love my Car and its a very nice first Car. I can only recommend it
My father use to have the Celica ('00 or '04, I don't know). She was the most beautiful car we've ever had. But he had to sell it for a minivan.
Another thing is if you are learning to drive I these, they are quite hardy and won’t break that easily. Means if you accidentally do something wrong it’s super forgiving. And as you said, if you do break someone to earning to drive, parts are there.
i got an 03 gt-s full trd bodykit and it gets so much attention ☺️
Where did you get it?
Where did you get it?
@@MCFS7 the body kit came with the car
@@MCFS7 i bought it from my neighbor, it was wrecked
Do you have an Instagram?
Just bought 2000 Celica without bumper and this will be the first time having a Toyota project car. May you please inform me with the style name of your front bumper cover and the rear lip?
im looking to change my lights. what do you recommend?
I got an 05 GT.. unfortunately it's an automatic..but it's better than nothing
Beautiful car & 05 is the rarest years! Congrats my friend!
@@MitchDore thanks man. Your videos have made me wanna do some shit to it. I mean it's not fast but I love the way the car looks 😌
@@sadstringcheese I bought a 2002 GT manual, I couldn't get the gts version but I'm loving it. Hopefully I finish all the mods that I want and make videos with it. @Mitch Dore inspired me.
We are celica lovers 💕
Nice-looking car but I think they look better without the wing
What bumper and side skirts are thoes?
I’m looking for a Celica currently and just can’t find one anywhere! Someone please help.
Love My 2000 Daily Driver
Such a great car .I would have loved one for my first car .I had the old mini it was great fun but the reliability was terrible 🙄
literally me right now
Mitch, i need your expertise on finding another engine for my 2005 GTS 7th Gen. I think that the one i looked at said it would fit any 1999 to 2005. I dont think that would be what i want to buy. My GTS is a 6 speed manual, it is so fast and perfect for my driving. The unfortunate part is the 2ZZ-GE, developed a bad knock at high RPM. I noticed it right away and i was about 1/2 mile from home. The knock didnt happen at low RPM so i shifted and coasted to my house. When i got home my fiance` noticed the look on my face. I told what happened, he wanted to see for himself, he pulled the dip stick and the stick was bone dry. I think that i might have ran over something and put a hole in my oil pan. I dont know, i havent been able to check it out since it is so low to the ground, you can't stick your head under neath. I have the Tsumani package and i am going to have to figure out a way to lift it up and get it on car ramps. Fortunately, i bought factory manuals for my GTS and i was thinking maybe rebuild my engine but then again maybe getting a used engine from japan would be the way to go. Finding the right one is my problem. Hopefully, you can steer me in the right direction.
I love your videos and thank you so much for all your knowledge and your love for the GTS! Your vehicles are so awesome!
Best car ever !!!
I sold mine because I blew my engine up, this one one biggest regret
love my 2000 GT but how does water leak from below my passenger rear seat and from the rear corners of the hatch area? My sunroof wells and drains are clear.
Thats so weird i have a 04 gts and it has leak issue under the passenger front seat area it soaks my carpet when i drive in the rain
i had a 01 GT and sold it and im regretting it right now i want a gts soo bad now
you trinna donate one lol
I have a 2001 celica
No mechanical problems at all.
What about a automatic gts ? Granted it still has a 4 speed automatic but it has a manual shift mode, still good handling and still has a high revving engine. Is it still valid enough to buy ?
Yes especially if you get a great deal! I have driven many, they still look great as well!!
Is the automatic version good
Hey Mitch, I drove my car two up 1170km from where I picked it up from. I drove around 70mph (115km/h) but couldn't get the milage to 35mpg/6.72L/100km. 32 would be about right (low km motor) Do younthink the extra passenger and some luggage would be the difference?
Also, Celicas of every generation make decent 1st & daily cars. I had a 73' as my first car (got stolen) and bought a knock around one ('80) a few years later when I was building up a turbo RX7.
Is there enough space for 4 people? I'm deciding whether to go for this or the Mazda 2 sport, but I think I need space to occasionally have enough space for at least 4 people. Also does it need premium fuel, or just regular unleaded?
I'm 1,80 meters tall and I fit perfectly on the back seat. I don't think it's comfortable for longer trips though, for that I'd rather recommend a sedan.
i am looking for one right now and idk which i should by either the old ones or the 2000-2006 can someone tell me what is the best choice?
Bear in mind the 2000-2003 models has some excessive oil burning issues. Other than that its up to you. I personally really like the 94 celica and that is also a nice reliable car!
what is the maximum wheel size you recommend for a celica gts?
18in is about the max
She is sooo beautiful! 😊
Better then frs 86
How much mileage is too much? If you find one with about 150,000 miles on it, how much longer should it last?
It lasts forever i have one with 200.000 miles on it and still screams every time I floor it ... Just buy it bro
The Celica 7th Gen motors DO NOT have a Toyota engine. The motors are made by Yamaha. You will find Yamaha stamped on the engine block.....Just some information if you didn't know.
Toyota commissioned Yamaha to design the 2ZZ-GE, based on Toyota's ZZ block, for high-RPM operation and producing a power peak near the top of the RPM range. The high-output cam profile is not activated until approximately 6,200 rpm, (lift set-points are between 6,000-6,700 rpm depending on the vehicle) and will not engage until the engine has reached at least 60 °C (140 °F). The Toyota PCM electronically limits RPM to about 8,200 RPM via fuel and/or spark cut. The "lift" engagement and the engine redline vary by application.
Toyota ZZ engine. Just Tuned Up By Yahama. Built on ZZ Platform.
Thank you for your comment my friend!
Also another good daily is the honda prelude
Absolutely agree!
@@MitchDore because if you take care of it it will take care of you in return!
Купив gts на автоматі. Низ ринка (3300 $) . НОРМАЛЬНІ В НАС 5 000. востанавлюю потихеньку. Поміняв подушку двс, резину, акумулятор, ходова. Зараз багата смесь , пробую лікувати. Тачка кайф.
got a celica but i went for a 1zz, a 2zz was in budget but.....i...do not trust people who get specifically that version around here especially 3rd/4th/5th owners. it's incredibly dumb but I see so many people start there car, rev the tits off it immediately and then drive off...which with the 2zz is an excellent way to prep the engine for scrap heap (because of the cylinder wall coating once that's damaged there is no realistic way to repair it, 1zz still uses ye olde sleeves so even if a dumbass owned it, it should be fixable and wile the 1st owner might warm it up and then drive it hard...maybe the 2nd will, I doubt the 3rd/4th/5th care enough to warm it up before thrashing it :(
Let me know when you want to sell
Bro wtf are you saying. 400ish mpg driving pretty excitingly.
He meant 40 lol
do not buy the gts buy gt instead
GT-S > GT
Enmanuel, the GTS IS AN AWESOME VEHICLE! I own a 2005 7th gen. I love my car, if you drive aggressively it is the best.
