- Peter talks to us about his awesome Toyota Celica GT4 RC All Trac!
AWD and turbo isn't something that we often associate with Toyota, but they weren't messing around in the 90's when they needed a vehicle to compete with the soon to be rally legends emerging on the scene. (IE EVO and STI) Limited production numbers make the all trac celica a rare bird, even rarer are the GT4 RC celicas like Peter's.
Very, very cool. It takes a certain amount of passion, dedication, and hard work to keep one of these running like it should, but in the end it is very VERY much worth it. I have its older brother(ST165) and while I've got more time and money into her than I care to admit, she never fails to make me smile when I turn the key. :)
Alltracavenger awesome! The st165 and that generation celica in general is my personal favorite. -donovan
I've had a JDM Celica GT-Four ST185 for nine months. I have spent so much time and money on it, but I've gathered the tools and skills to keep my family's entire fleet of vehicles running. And I've had a hell of a lot of fun driving it.
I’m looking to buy a 1990 all trac for more than I would like with 130k on the dial. What if I may ask did you have to work and spend on and why. Just want to know it’s worth it. Thanks
@@flavrdPnut About $4000 over two years. Timing belt, water pump, alternator, battery replace, ignition wires, distributor cap and rotor. All fluids replaced. ECU capacitor replacement. Throttle position sensor. Fuel pump. The problem wasn’t the miles it was the years. In the end, it would have been more cost effective to do an engine swap right away. That would cost about $10K for a Caldina 3S-GTE. Mine is at a shop having that done right now. Worth it? Yes. I have a JDM GT-Four with 50,000 chassis miles about to get a new lease on life. But gird your loins and have a realistic outlook as these are semi-exotics.
@@JohnMcFarlin-ny3eg thank you for the information and your view of these cars. It’s appreciated.
Think we all know how it fared with a certain Carlos Sainz behind it's wheel back in the early '90s. Legendary and one of the greatest rally cars ever made..
I had one of these in the UK - same colour. I was awesome. Loved it to death.
This was my first car not a wrc but still a st185 gt4 (air air to air intercooler) and if you have never driven one of these, the best things about them is the view of the pop up lights and the bonnet scoop from the driver seat (prob the most aggressive outlook for a factory car) also the handling & perfect amount of power, along with grip hugging seats and a dash that wraps around the driver seat! I now own a st202 beams 200hp, as quick as a factory st185, without the turbo and love the car but i want my old gt4 back! :-)
7:16 we all do it now and then ;)
The best is when you go for a quick high beam flash and end up squirting your windshield with washer fluid instead. Haha
love this car glad you did it some justice
Thanks! It’s an awesome car, super cool to see something pretty unique imported here to the states and in such great condition.
I have a usdm all trac sitting in my garage. Sadly needs a ton of body work and suspension work but shes still kicking. Love these cars great video
He forgot to mention the other most important difference. The air-to-water intercooler setup that Carlos Sainz helped Toyota develop for the group A cars.
I used to have an st185 and i miss it so much. Nice build mate!
Toyta launched the new yaris GR four and it made me want to buy one of this
My favourite car in the Toyota catalogue I was happy to have owned the 92 st185 gt4 cs (Carlos Sainz) in red it by far had the better look and interior the st205 lacked.
Still have my black 1992 GTS. Needs some body work now though. It has been parked in the driveway for five years now. I replaced it with a Lexus IS350, and there's no comparison. I just can't let the Celica go.
i ll add on my Celica FB fan page :)
Hey, i know this guy! He lives near me and goes to meets with us!
Too fucking wicked
I gotta 91 Carlos Sainz low km. Soon as the MAF goes it’s a hard car to fix. Been sitting for 8 years the part is none existent.
What exhaust mods do you have? I really like the sound. I have 1990 GT4 and trying to decide what to do with the exhaust...
In love
Nice ride in planning to get a 6 generation one.
Wilillo soto ive got a 94 wrc im going to be selling soon

Message me on instagram trx4_boyc
B B B Beautiful looking car.
how did you imported it?
please share the process with me, appreciat
nice car, i can't even find a RC. but the alltracs alone are rare. in the states during the entire production years they were made there was only about 1700 shipped to the us. so you can imagine probably some of them have been totaled and ruined. probably barely a 1000 left if that.
I searched around for hours on craigslist and just googling in general and only found about 3 ( one per state ) that were for sale. and they all were in rough shape. like cracked and messed up dashes dents everywhere. just sad. but i still want one bad.
Review Guy same here, I’ve only seen one st165 that I can remember, and a st185 shell on a trailer once.
I kept an eye on AutoTempest for a bit and snagged a low mileage one. The pop up every once in a while.
I have a low km 91 Carlos Sainz RC. I’m selling it
What wheels are those
Wheel set up please
Who sings this song its good
Very cool Celica! Reminds me of my very first car, a 91´ Celica T18 (just a base model).
But this GT4 RC, wow it looks so cool.
Wondering what this "grind noise" was during the drive?
Otherwise really good video!
Greetings from Austria
Tire rub in the corners lol
Thanks for the support!
The weird sound was just water from the road.
And yes I agree, very cool Celica!
The AustrianDuke it’s my car lol. The tires a a hair too wide and they rub the rear quarters ever so slightly on the outer edges...
TIRESIDE You´re welcome Man! Found your Channel because of your Supra! Got mine in Oct. this Year (Mk3)
Greetings
TS Media Ohh okay! Thanks for the Info :) Some Tire Types are wider than others in the same Size, so maybe a different Tire Manufacturer and it´ll be good :D
Very Nice Car, congrats for finding such a beauty in perfect Condition!

"only 5,000". That's actually pretty much standard production. That's actually a huge number. Usually homologation is a few hundred units.
Depends on the category.
If I recall, Group B cars needed only 500.
Around that time, 5000 would be ~7.5% of the production.
Which both seem small compared with the fact the first gen sold over a million in 7 years.
Group A required 5000 in order to compete in WRC, I know because the gt4 requires 5000 as well as my mazda 323 gtx which is 5000 made only for group A as well
also 5000 is a relatively small number since its 5000 cars spread out across the world
There were also LHD versions for european market. Its caleld GT-Four Carlos Sainz edition instead of RC
Celica Alltrac/4x4 version was serial production but GT-Four RC/Carlos Sainz is really really rare
ST185 with 185k kms
Four wheel steering as well.
It was only in st183 which japanese high-mid trim version of 3s-ge st182 from european market/equivalent of 5s-fe version from usdm. It had live sound audio system four wheel steering and other gimmicks like cabin air cleaner.
I am looking for an All-track Do you know anyone or some of your friends that might find or be selling one ?
Im interested in a all trac too or if anyone has an import gt-4 of the st185
What’s the song??
@TIRESIDE What intro song?
Sufrido Concrete Pilots (Cospe Remix) from epidemic sound.

WRCベース車として鍛え抜かれたGT-Four
Classic. Don't sell it
1.5 million yen in Japan
Man racing gloves for a quite road drive are so cringe.
Only Now in 2107 y'all getting these cars? You guys are so freaking behind.
Painfully true...
Its more that the people who dictate what we can and cannot import suck. And certain Japanese companies who didnt want to give us the best of what they had. (Probably for fear of US companies reverse engineering it and producing something similar themselves. Which happens all the time.)
It's pronounced "CellEEca"...
God those wheels are horrendous! At least use 15''
