Toyota Celica 2.0 GTS Superstrut with Remus Full Review,Start Up, Engine, and In Depth Tour

Description

Celica (fourth generation) From sleek coupé to rally legend and back, the Toyota Celica changed a lot during its lifespan. It was killed off last year, but in 1986 the sleek styling and sporty looks of the fourth incarnation made a big impact. If you want one, there's a choice of two engines. The 147bhp 2.0-litre GT comes with either a five-speed manual or three-speed auto transmission, while the 182bhp GT4 is only available with a conventional box. You'll be hard-pressed to find unmolested examples of either car -- even if mods only extend to a set of aftermarket alloys -- so an impeccable service history is essential. Under-bonnet tweaks are common, too. Induction kits are a popular addition and replacement pipework between the GT4's intercooler, turbo and inlet manifold should be expected, because it wears out. However, beware of aftermarket boost controllers: increasing turbo pressure is an easy way to gain power, but go too far and it can cause serious damage. Check for intercooler air leaks, inlet manifold cracks and oil anywhere on the turbo housing. Also look for fluid leaks on the block or cylinder head. Rust is a major problem, so examine the sills, wheelarches, sunroof, rear hatch and suspension mounts. Noises from the rear point towards a worn diff mount (£120) or pinion bearing (£250). Prices start at around £600 for a roadworthy GT, while a clean example shouldn't cost more than £1500. Expect to pay up to £2000 for a mint GT4 with a perfect history. Celica <b>...</b>
