If a car looks good in white, it will look good in any colour,
imagine taking delivery of a brand new one of these in the early 90's, i woulda lived in the thing lol
imagine a nissan gtr 2017 right now. i would eat off its hood
If only Toyota still made cars like this.
Your prayers have been heard
This Toyota is gone
Now Toyota is an appliance company
GR Yaris boisss
Man I freaking love these.
But it's not an R32...
JoaoPRSousa duh
underrated comment
This is really cool, congratulations to the new owner. I owned a similar model a few years ago, it was the Carlos Sainz Limited Edition #2930 4wd and 4w steering, CT20b turbo very fun to drive.
St205?
These Celicas are still so nice.
damn right it was worth the 15 minutes. awesome machine
Thanks
I wish even today that they made more road legal race cars-- or had more racing divisions that are based on real world cars, instead of multi-million dollar race teams working on some uber high tech car.
Furness Prime yeah I wish there were more homologation specials being produced
Like early 90's DTM, Group A/B rally, and GT racing specials
the day has came :)

chaozbanditx lol kinky i got to say ;)
I LOVE THESE CARS SO MUCH !!! I WANT ONE SOOOO BAD ! HOPEFULLY IN HALF A YEAR !
Rhadiqul Did you get one?
You waiting on that ST-205 WRC aren’t you? Good choice. It’s a much better overall car than the ST-185 RC
Fantastic walk around. So much information. Your japanese translation skills are impressive.
Keep it up!
I have a 1992 GTS (black) in my driveway. Bought it in 2001. Love it. Best car ever. I would trade my mint 2007 IS350 for my GTS fully restored, in a heartbeat.
really miss my -91 GTi Celica, it was such an awesome cheap first car and the GT4 model was a real dream car for me back then!
That's a very solid ST185RC. I'd be all over restoring this one if I hadn't won the unicorn lottery with my ST165. Whoever gets this one's going to have an awesome car with just a bit of work. :)
Yes! My prayers have been answered! More ST185 Celica's :D
Loved your review keep it up
that is an amazing unicorn. i love limited production cars like this with story
i have the 92 celica gts model and i love it but this is the dream, so beautiful
Homologation special FTW!
I so wanted one when it was on the market.
My first car was a A40 series 1980 Celica Liftback GT with the 20R. Although I had no idea at the time, likely it was a "US Grand Prix" edition.
(stealth edit : I am glad to say I always pronounced it correctly ... )
I’m probably too late to the party, but my ultimate dream is to import one of these while it’s still in Japan, completely restore it, and then have the ultimate version on my first car I had back in 2011.
Love this car, specially the engine !
Those OZ Crono wheels were actually a dealer option in Japan. Most RC's had them. So they might actually be the original wheels.
That is really cool. I have seen plenty of them on these cars and I just though that everyone wanted to be like Carlos Sainz.
16's look great! Maybe pretend it's for a tarmac rally stage? ;)
My 91 Carlos Sainz came with these exact rims
I love the look behind the tree.
These things are awesome.
Oh my lord... that B-40 tho!!!! Love cruisers!
This is my favorite Japanese car of all time it must be said. I wonder if parts are available to do a total nut and bolt restoration on a well used example such as this? Man I really wish you could drive the cars you do walk-arounds on Pacific Coast Auto. Like a POV drive review on this car would get millions of views! plus it'd make me happy lol
Do a tree walkaround as a April fools thing.
R33Racer JDM tree yo
"Here we have a 1978 tree bought off USS Tokyo auction, grade 3 with interior D..."
he should do a walk around of himself o.O
Sweet celica I would love one of these
Lol THE WALK AROUND THO
GOD I love this car.
That would be a great car to completely restore and enjoy.
11:16 thats what she said
the st185 gt4 are my favpirte celica of all time....i would love to have one one day but money lol. and i say celica like u cuz thats how my dad always said it. all my friends say it the wrong way tho....
beautiful
Amazing car. It becomes pretty rare.
I Love toyota celica!!!!!!
Very cool car.
NICE
Owned one great cars
Saw so many of these in New Zealand, awesome cars and the Kiwis kept them in good shape.
Also about the RC being only white, I’ve seen them with the factory GT-4 RC stickers still on them (benefit of living under Canada’s 15 year import laws) and I’ve seen all of them so far in black.
Come to think of it. I have seen these in black too.
They are awesome cars.
8:15 i was really worried about that :P I got a 3sgte in my st202 with a flat hood.. wasn't sure if i should get a GT-FOUR hood or not
I love mine :D
I've always pronounced it as "Sellicuh" haha. But man, do i love these cars.
that 3 series wagon :D :D
I hate California C.A.R.B. Regulations.... so stupid.. Love this Celica!
clutch are short throws in them. so they take up low. normal.
if it doesn't slip. you're good. engine out to change
Yes, we have fingers crossed about the clutch. And yes, the RC model has a shorter clutch pedal than the regular GT-Four.
I want that!
i would love to see an ST200-205 seeing as i have one ;)
I have this engine/ECU combination swapped into my 1994 Celica with a ‘94 WRC spec CT-20b turbo and it’s insane. It’s significantly faster than my Turbo MR2 and hung with a buddy’s TT Soarer (2JZ-GTE).
The timing this ECU runs under boost will make you scared but it doesn’t give a fuck.
ok i know this is old but that momo steering wheel is actually stock with the gt4 Edit: my celica has those same style seats but they dont remember the position :(
Is the map light part of the RC package?
ohhh myyy
8:00 is the headlights moving?
Colors were red, black, gray and white. Turbo is the same as normal GT-Four, Alternator cooler, same as standard GT-Four. MOMO wheel is stock on RCs. I have seen this before with other GT-Four RCs they will remove the RC badge and replace it with the UK Spec or Canada Spec Turbo 4wd badge.
The turbo is different from the normal GTFours.
Very interesting pronunciation
I am very surprised that there is a Sunroof on a RC Model, the Actual Rally cars didn’t have a Sunroof, just a bit Strange, take care people.
There was no sold price on this car. Too bad, i was very curious. Apple has another one for sale with half the kilometers for 1400000y. . With my wife's kansai accent she pronounces this car like we do in the usa.
my father used to have one until I was born :(.. They are called "Celica Carlos Sainz" over here in Europe as an hommage to the famous rally driver.
sidewayslu Carlos sainz was a limited edition
no the Carlos Sainz is just what the RC was called in Europe.
sidewayslu hmmm I had a different impression
The RC is an RC because it’s a Carlos Sainz edition, I have a European tuned one here in Canada
Is that 325i something your exporting out of Japan?
I remember when I was in high school in 1999 my friend picked one up with 98000 km on it it was not the rc model just the 4wd turbo is what it was called here in Canada he payed 9000$ for it and within 3 months he had to replace the clutch and it cost 4000$ due to the fact they had to pull the whole entire engine out to replace it besides that the 10 speaker sound system was great I wish it was faster considering the 1990 supra turbo didn't cost much more at all with a lot more power and less problems anyways he still owns it and it has less than 200000km on it and he has done quite a few mods to it the last time he had it on the dyno he was making 350hp at the wheels he rarely drives it they are pretty damn heavy I have seen him lose races to sti's and moded eagle talon tsi's and evo x when he is making quite a bit of horse power he has mastered his launch technique but he loves it as well as i do there very rare so he will hold onto it for life I think hope even know he tried to sell it to me back in 2008 for 10000$ and I refused due to the fact I had just bought a Chrysler 300c srt-8
nice run on story
The GT four turbo and the RC are diff
Hello Derek I'm looking Toyota mr2 for the summer , will send u email! Regards
Dont touch my damn turboo ! Lolol
Am i the only one who saw the headlights bouncing up and down or is from camera shaking or something.. :D
i know im a bit late but they actually shake a bit when then car is on idle it happens to mine too
that'll look a lot better when it's not all jacked up
Нету лучше велика, чем Toyota Celica :)
точно братан
откедова ты?
Барад-дур. Мордор. )
Is that a Scion xB truck conversion in the back?
It's not a conversion, it was a popular concept car that Toyota put into limited production. It's the same one in our UA-cam logo. We've had it for several years and have fallen in love with it.
Can you message me If you have a Toyota Celica st205 in good condition for sale? I'm located in New York and a serious buyer. Thanks !!
Dont 3sgte's make around 300hp?
Turbo is not bigger all comes with CT26 and normal alternator cooler is standard
i had one of these
Dukecronic that car was not even made in the us
US got the GT-Four for the ST165 (Called the All-trac) and the ST185 (called the Turbo GT...?)

Greetings from Poland.Owner 3 x carlos sainz and one all trac
CHRIS KARSSEBOOM I'm in Australia I'll post my pictures of it
Lol, pinches on the seat. I am going to start calling that on my mk3 Supra seats.
This was the Carlos Sainz edition
What is the yellow car in the background? Looks really interesting
Aike Brakel they had done a video on it. I believe it's their work truck/van
It's a Toyota bb open deck
Hey are you selling this car if so how can I contact u
Josue Hernandez Derrick is an exporter, he buys cars for customers and exports them to there country, if you want to buy one from auction than you contact him, but customs paperwork is all up to you, I'm exporting a R32 with him soon, I'm just waiting on little extra money for maintenance.
In Australia, NZ and UK they pronounce Celica exactly as you did in this video. I guess we're all wrong?! NZ also pronounces Subaru different to everyone else (not sure if the Japanese are the same?): ua-cam.com/video/N2mgJ4TqjMA/v-deo.html
can you send me the celica? im in NYC
That left pop-up just keeps shaking.....
I'll buy that car! how much do you wanna sell it for ? I'm in new york
David Ha this car is in Florida.
No RC bagde, no deal. Lol
lol at the cringing pop ups especially the left one
First
A TOYOTA SUHLEEKAH
It's Celica, not celeeeca.
Why do you keep calling it a Cell lEE ka? Its a a "sell eh kuh" celica
no one is gunna mention how this guy pronounces celica?
i've been watching some video's from another japan importer and i've noticed that guy runs like a sissy when he sees surface rust or mechanical problems that are inherent in one particular model of car. . Derek on the other hand takes a more educated approach to looking at problems with these cars. The other importer guy would have run from this celica. It's rare-unusual cars like this celica that get my interest and especially so if they can be had for cheap prices.
I suppose it depends on your experiences. I grew up poor with broken cars. You can buy perfect cars if you like, but after 25 years, you will be paying mountains of cash.
Rust bucket
самый не красивый кузов
Just because it says Suleeeka on the auction sheet doesn't mean thats how you pronounce it. Here's your proof: ua-cam.com/video/ZOa67O9VrFo/v-deo.html
Those commercials are awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Too bad Eddie never learned how to pronounce the name of the car though... or did they want him to say it "American Style" because gaijins are fun to watch like zoo animals. I would love to go visit early 90s Japan.
PacificCoastAuto The "American pronunciation" is painful to listen to. Haha. You get away with it because a) you're Canadian and b) you know how to say it properly 😂
Love the vids, thank you 😊
I prefer to think that they made him say it correctly.
"Celeeeeeeeeeca" lmao man you dont know cars lol
PacificCoastAuto
Nope nailed it, I've got the standard 185 over here in the UK. It's definitely Celica and not Celicka.
This car is ugly! Not even the people who engineer it like it!
Nah its good
