Haha I would love to find an 86 GT-S in working condition. Kind of similar to you, my Celica GT-S is my second car. I've had it since 2007, thing has been through a lot. I've kind of neglected it due to health issues but I know eventually I'll get it back to where I had it.
That biak training center has an underground facility there. The facility is 64000 square feet. Able to house 200 politicians. This has all been declassified. However they have every excuse possible to not give a tour of it, show video or photos of it. Why? Because it has been refurbished and repurposed as a NSA facility. Currently active
I still have my 1988 Celica GT 3sfe 2.0 I-4 238K miles 3 speed automatic with O/D. Bought it for $450 in 2010. Bought it with 89K miles. I have the Celiac GT-S alltrac 150 Mph speedometer and 9000 RPM tach with the 7000 rpm redline
Love the car! My first car was a 1987 Celica GT-S (liftback) in red that my dad bought new for himself, and took pristine care of it until he passed it down to me as my first car when I started driving in ‘97. Loved that car so much. I really appreciated your detailed account of its history and how it got to "today." Hope you had a happy birthday and enjoyed that pizza! :)
Your car looks great and has an even better story. Once you opened up that hood my jaw dropped! It`s always fun to see these 80`s cars rolling around, to see how you redeemed it and brought it back to a state it probably hasn`t been in in over a decade or two is just plain cool. Keep it up man.
Get in Facebook and search "st162.net" in groups. It's a group of guys dedicated to these cars and parts cars are often tossed for sale or ones being parted out. You have to be diligent. Took me years to find certain parts. I always browse Facebook Market place maybe 2x a month looking for local parts cars and have been lucky a few times. What parts are you looking for?
Hey man, I have recently acquired a 1986 Toyota celica gts, but white and a lift back. I do have my factory header and exhaust on my car still, I was wondering what your exhaust setup was, and does the car have any crazy rasp to the exhaust? I’m interested in doing an exhaust, but I want to know if it’s worth it.
My dad knew of a specific place that he had visted when he was stationed in Japan in the Navy and they were still around when we needed the engine and transmission
You have a beautiful little car! Just bought an '86 liftback that needs an engine rebuild and Damn is your engine's look something to shoot for. Where in the UK did you source the replacement decals?
not many other car owners can say what you said at the start, celica's just fuckin live forever
my first car was the same gen celica, but just an ST. The GT-S is so much cooler. This would have been a great first car.

GTS has the same 150 speedo and I think the redline is 6800. The motor in the GTS internally is identical to the all trac minus the turbo
I had the same car, just in black. Had a lot of fun with that one! Thanks for the video!
I'm thinking about getting the car but in Automatic and as My first car but should I get it or not

Where did you buy a jdm motor from?
My dad knew of a specific place that he had visted when he was stationed in Japan in the Navy and they were still around when we needed the engine and transmission
What did you use to get it a 5 lug
The GTS and All-Trac models are 5 lug from the factory. The ST and GT models are a 4 lug.
Awesome car mate.. i have an st202 ss2 and love it.. when does the tvis kick in on st162s?
I have one that has been sitting for 17 years. This video has made me want to restore it even though I don't know anything about cars.

Nice! Any hints on replacing the pin stripes? Also, is the clutch soft (stock) in these st162?
Dunno if it's supposed to be or not but mine is soft and I've never had any issues with it (same year).
