I've had my st202 3ge engine for 15 years- great little car and they really drive well and bring a smile!

I have a 30 year old Celica 5th gen ST182 GTI. Everything still works. Nothing is broken. I tell a lie, I broke the tiny bulb for the interior light. It had been there for 30 years and I broke it. Damn it!

Sounds exactly like something I'd do!

Last of the best of em...absolutely bulletproof motoring

I can guarantee that the drivers door arm rest will be broken! I had one...loved it...In fact, now Im 50, I want another one. The GT is in no way fast...not at all, but I love it. The GT4 though is awesome.

I brought this car awhile back and completed all the work sold it on after completed and I belive it was brought back by the original owner x lovely 😍 enjoy

Didn't want to name you in the video but yes this is correct. Current owner loves it and is keeping it minter than mint. Would really appreciate if you could share the video in any good Toyota groups.

Thanks so much Cormac. God, its been years since I drove a good original Prelude.......if anyone could help with that I'd gladly feature it

This is not a st202, just at200. 😉 The st202 has a 3s-ge engine and the at200 has a 7a-fe.

These cars have gotten better looking with time, reminds me of my old Supra. Still too down on power for me but I do like them.

Great video and a really nice car 👍🏻 also with the 90s Japanese cars it’s actually the “boy racers” that drive the prices up usually

I don’t think Toyota ever made a duff Celica. That coincides with the start of the Celtic tiger so they were everywhere as I recall.

Yes, lots of JDM imports for the young lads with some cash. They used to be 10 a penny like GT86s. Not now!

I got one 96 Celica, just put a paint job, new rims and tyres. Since is a right hand drive sometimes is not easy to find parts but i am planning to keep this car as far as I can. drives great and is cheap to maintain. if anyone have a link for parts in the US for these kind of cars please send it to me.
