- The Celica GT-FOUR is a very iconic JDM. It was built for one reason and one reason only and that was to go rally racing in the WRC. Under the hood is a 2.0L inline-4 turbocharged 252 HP & mated to a 5-speed manual. It's AWD system will keep you planted to whatever the terrain is. It's exterior is pure homologation and is ultra rare. Is the 1994 Toyota Celica GT-FOUR a true JDM legend?

Oh boy I already know that there’s hundreds of Scotty comments lol😂😂😂
You better believe it!
@@RaitisRides yeah
Scotty would be so proud 😂
Doesn't Scotty hate force induction cars because of more moving parts? Lol
You are so very right! 😂
mrjjthor Thor he loves Celicas though. 😉
No because Scotty is driving the automatic base model.
Scotty doesn’t know Jack about the real celicas. He just likes the weak us models because they’re reliable.
Rev up your engines!! 🤦♂️
It’s a little quiet, but it is stock.
Raiti's Rides I love it!! Thanks 🙏
Drew Benefield thanks drew for letting me share it with you!
Some engines were never meant to be rev'd.
@@HansDelbruck53 he's making a reference to Scotty kilmer
Came for the Scotty Kilmer comments
They are on the way!
My best JDM cars:
94' Celica gt-four
99' skyline gt-r nismo
Nissan 350z
And the toyota ae86
Thanks joe for the video
You are so very welcome Milton! I love your taste!
@Vinny Booboo LOL
Love those cars bro! I had a 2zz Celica years back but now drive a 350z and c6 Vette! the 350z is a great car
@Vinny Booboo 350z is honestly better than what you drive & I don't even need to know what you have... if you even own a car
@@UnitiveWILLIAM24 lol
Definitely a unique car by today's standards. Back in the late 90s and early 2000s this car would have been a sleeper hit to race your buddy's Mustang or WRX with. You just don't see these kind of cars anymore from Toyota - unless you want a Supra or maybe the 86.
So very true Miles!
Waiting for scotty kilmer here :D
LMAO! He should be showing up soon!
the last good celica, these are sick
AGREED!
Celica MK7 is better
@@MsFilmiki Not really, they're slow
@@flyingfrequencies bro 2zz is faster than 3sge, only GT4 rulez but they are rare and exp
@@MsFilmiki So yeah still slower than the 6th gen
The round headlights and the Celica always brought back to my childhood memories seeing them on Sega Rally Arcade machines with the famous Castrol livery.
In 1994 I was in the Army basic training. Man I miss the Celica such an awesome car.
Oh wow that is so cool Micheal. Thank you for your service!
In 1994 I was driving the final miles of my automatic Volvo 242DL that I bought new in 1979 as my first car.
Now driving my first manual - 2020 Corolla HB. Loads of slow fun
Very cool Gus! #savethemanuals
Those new hatchbacks look killer!
Just got born in 1994, but I grew up in the Philippines and this car is freaking HOT, you can see people having this car everywhere in my country.
I still have my 94 Celica with 24,352 miles on it. Some guy offered me 35k for it about a year ago. I was like “NOPE” without hesitation.
Back in ‘94 I was in middle school. I’ve always loved this car ever since I first saw it. I’m always glad to see one on the street.
So very cool man! You have good tatse!
I’m loving the JDM reviews Joe. Keep em coming!
Thanks Marcus! I have more to come!
In 1994 I was in San Diego California! the good old days! I miss the 90`s
Yah the World was a little simpler except for Iraq vs US....StarTac Cellphones weren't even around yet! When you got a potential girl's number, it was a trip to a payphone if you didn't have a landline and hoped she would pick up! Hahahaha!
Nice to see MY car getting such appreciation. Have owned a 94 in black since 98 in the UK. Have always loved it and never been tempted away. Plus it’s finally worth more than I paid for it :)
Always loved these, a friend of mine got one new in the 90’s, still has it, covers about 2,000 mile per year
That is so very cool!
Nice example, of a ST205. So glad I bought my 92' ST185 RC and 98' ST205 before the prices went up, back in the late 2000 low km examples were going for $2000-5000CAN. I would recommend a GT4 to anyone looking to import one, they have a bulletproof drive tran and you can pick up a parts car "90'sCelica GT-S" for under $500 for most of your interior & exterior parts...Also the 94' WRC edition had 265HP / 225ft/LBS compared to the normal GT4 with 255HP / 225ft/LBS the Reg. EUR GT4 had 252HP
Great engine Toyota! Revs nicely and makes plenty of power. So glad we could get that back in 1994, and equally disappointed that you don't offer an engine that good in most of your products (other than the current Supra) now.
this car takes me back! love seeing this
your innuendos in this vid had me cracking up!
then the NWA, Public Enemy reference! Yes!! Love it!
Thanks my friend! I am so glad that I could share it with you!
Joe, cool review! My son has been looking for many months for a good Nissan S14 and found one ... driving it is spot on, and I get WAY more looks and thumbs up than in my Camaro!! They’ve become rare to see!!
One of my dream cars. Thanks for the review!
Same here! You are so very welcome!
Scotty approves!
You know it!
Joe, one of my faves! Thank you. Your show has used the pandemic to deepen the show. This car. Unique! Do the Celica All-Trac, from the round era! In 1994 , I was married and driving a 1988 Mustang GT , Vortec blower!..
Very thorough. Great video!
Thanks for review of this JDM goodness, my all time fav JDM Toyota that we never got was the Chaser: 4 door Mark 4 Supra 😎
Such a sick car even after all these years ! I remember playing the rally Celica in gran tourismo 3 for ps3🔥😎. In 1994 I was in kindergarten 😂👍🏻
I totally agree with you Patrick!
Well, Padowan, I was 21 and rocking Gran Tourismo with my buds! Great Game
Awesome car man keep on bringing these jdm legends one after another 👍🙏
I was so in love with this car when it just came out
More videos like this one please Sir! Some of my favourite cars are the underrated ones like this!!
Love seeing some some older cars! Pls review many more :)
Very good video, very instructive, i really love the Celica GTfour
Joe you are working overtime! Finding these gems are a time capsule to our souls. This is why we car people watch your channel. Happy 4th my friend!🇺🇸👍😎
Thanks Ronald! Thanks for saying that! You are guys deserve the best!
Happy 4th of July to you my friend!
Bro your a legend for reviewing this
More of these videos, sweet!!!
So cool to see a bunch of your videos taking place in my neighboring county. Next time I visit my folks I'll keep an eye out for a JDM legend on the side of 19 😁
That is such a small world!
This is kind of off the topic a little but my parents bought their first Japanese car in 1989, it was a Mazda 626 LX and man that car was brand new and felt like a Cadillac compared to the 1986 Ford Tempo that they traded in. The materials and knobs and seats and stereo equalizer and slow dimming interior lights and automatic front seat belts felt so premium! They bought Japanese then Lexus came on scene a couple years later and they got one of them and I thought we were really in tall cotton then lol and I didn’t mind getting dropped off at school in that Lexus! I was a senior in 1995 btw. Joe asked what we were doing in 1994 or 1995 and to put it in the comment section. Love and remember these Celicas well!! Loved the Preludes and Supras and even the cheap low performance Mazda MX-6 V6!!
Holy Molly!!! haha Happy 4th of July!!!! Keep it up 🤙🔥🔥🔥
Joe, in 1994 I was 8 years old.
Great review as always.
That is crazy Alec! I am glad you are here now.
I want a celica looks good, great review!
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Damn that Celica even has its original front bumper, such a dream car.
Yes sir!
These were amazing back in the day. and the nice thing about cars in this age? CABLE DRIVEN THROTTLE!! no delay...
Nicely restored
It's actually all original.
My sister had a 92 Celica GT (with the pop up headlights). That was a really nice car. In 1994 I still had my first car, a 1990 Mazda MX6. I’m twice as old now as I was in 1994, plus one, and I still work for the same company.
Very cool Martin! Thanks for letting me share this with you!
Raiti's Rides I’d like to see a Mk1 or Mk2 VW GTI review if you ever see one.
I can’t believe you used to teach me now ur big on yt
DLLO Eiv History six grade in 2019
Wow...beautiful! I really liked this review. 👍
Thanks Daniel! I appreciate this one.
You really taking it back, how about reviewing a Toyota AE86...it’s a legendary car and one of my favorite cars of all time. Great video!
Great Video. Paid $4500 my white WRC with 62k miles in 2003. Female owned in Japan. Towed down from Calgary and across US in 2004 with lot of stares back then. Car still has under 63k miles today. .
Toyota should do something like this to today’s Corolla. Thanks for the blast from the past. Happy 4th Joe, Lori, and the crew and everyone else. Stay safe and God bless America! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻
You are so very right! Same to you and yours!
Where scotty kilmer?
Probably waiting to come out yelling from the trunk for Q &A
Good question!
@@AbrahamsYTC LMAO!
I own a 94 Celica ST with over 342,000 miles on it. "BEST car for the money" ... Scotty Kilmer
Oh man, the GT-FOUR is so awesome! Thanks for bringing us this one Joe!
You are so very welcome. It really is a special car!
This is a gem.
A morning video?! It’s gonna be a great day! Happy 4th everyone who celebrates it and happy Saturday to y’all who don’t 💙 big love
That is so awesome of you t o say! Thanks for your awesome support!
Scotty will subscribe to your channel!
Jokes aside, we had the pop-up lights version when I was a kid. Sadly it was gone before I started driving...
Yah thanks for the vid - I've seen the same guy a few weeks in a row now whilst doing my routes...red with gold wheels - eeech! But I can't help admiring that friggin car! ...Never been a Toyota guy, but I never knew the GTFour's were AWD too! Gotta get one
I have a 96 and love my GT-Four😍 Had a chance to by a Supra, but i like the size of the celica better, plus AWD.
One of the best cars you've ever chosen to review.
In 94 I was in grade 2, 7 years old. Man how time flies
Happy 4th of July Joe,Tom,Lori,Victor.
Same to you my friend! Thanks for your great support!
Raiti's Rides Thank you and your welcome man.
In 1994 i was on my job and my car was a 1991 Chevy Monte Carlo SS. I'm an 80's high school graduate Joe !
That is really cool!
1994 I started training at the Toyota mechanics school. Working on these
carlos sainz never drove this exact model but the one before it and the one before that both pop up headlights
This Toyota Celica is simply awesome, one of the best designs by Toyota for sure.
You are so very right!
I have always loved these, but what I would really love to see is an early 80s Celica with a 3TGTE.
You mention watching WRC back in the 90s. Were you a fan of DTM racing about the same time? I used to watch it on a network called Prime Sports. Man, I was hooked and it definitely fueled my love of cars.
I remember the good 'ol days when my first favorite cars were the Mk IV Supra, GTR R34 Skyline, and the Mitsu Eclipse
That is so crazy man! Time flies!
@@RaitisRides you're the best Joe, Happy 4th of July to you and family!
A classic. I miss those cars.
Same here! Thanks for letting me share this one with you!
1994 I was 3 yrs out of HS tearing up the California streets in my 1972 Chevy Camaro!
Scotty kilmer will send you an appreciation gold card. Great review always!
That is awesome! LOL Thanks Maurice!
Good review joey.
Next cars . 2004 saleen 93 lx coupe
Definitely a car I would want to own along with a MK4 Supra, 89’, 95’, & 99’ Skyline GTR, S15 Silvia, Evo 3-6, Mazda RX7 FD & 1st gen Subaru WRX/STI.
You and me both Joe, class of ‘94!
Joe, I can't believe, that was my rally dream car
These are fantastic cars. I love driving mine everyday.
How's the maintenance for these? I know this video goes in depth but from an owners stand point would be nice. I have one reserved and would like to use it as a daily.
Love it. Hope to import a LHD one from Europe to complement my ST165.
I am so glad that you like this one.
Now try it's predecessor, ST185 Celica GT4!
I need to get one of those!
I have a 91 ST185RC. Owned it for 18 years and it still puts a smile on my face :)
Safari Rally beasts. Still revered in Kenya as the ultimate performance legends along the GC8 and Evo. Would grab it without a blink!
No drinks or food in my car either and If I could I would make passengers remove anything from their back pockets to protect my leather seats from wear and tear. In 94 I had been out of school 8 years, working at a factory in NC and driving a Pontiac Grand Am SE.
Lol. From the time i saw this scotty came too mind. 'You cant 'Rev up your engines' without getting 'on throttle!'
LOL you are hilarious!
Wow... Clean white Celica is the JDM-esque thing I've ever seen
I am so glad that you like this one.
@@RaitisRides I do! It's one of the legendary JDM classics and me as a teenager who love JDM classics would not miss this review!!
I had an 88 Celica All-Trac Turbo...can't find it anymore, miss it very much.
My friend you officially received your Scotty beads
I feel like a winner! LOL!
Raiti's Rides - lol btw I love your channel I found it not too long ago. You don’t waste time or BS you get straight to business and I appreciate that
I'm sure Scotty doesn't even know this car exists, someone get ahold of him so he can buy THIS one! I know this, the intro of "REV UP YOUR ENGINES" would take on a whole new look and sound❗❗
Joe, great to hear the history lesson on this one but then again you are a history teacher 👍👍
Scotty doesn’t really know much about celica history. He just likes the weak us versions because they’re slow and reliable. On his episode that goes into celicas history, half the info is wrong and he hated their collaboration with Yamaha even though they helped build Toyota’s best engines.
You are a Class Act man! See what I did there! 😉👍🏻 Thanks for letting me share my car passion and these amazing cars with you!
@@ericsmith8129 Thanks for sharing that info Eric!
@@RaitisRides I speak for everyone here Joe...YOUR WELCOME👍👍
A lot of scottys info is inaccurate, about more than just the celica. I was appalled at how much he got wrong on his celica episode. That’s why all these Scotty comments are cringe. I get that he is entertaining to watch but his content is usually sub par.
Kudos to you for actually doing your research and having accurate descriptions of these cars. I’ve enjoyed watching your channel grow.
My Childhood dream car
Thanks for sharing Joe. I have a question for you. When the driver seat is on the opposite side of the car and of course you shift gears with your left hand are the pedals also opposite which means that the gas pedal would be with the left foot and the break and clutch would be with the right foot? Just a question that I have always wanted to ask.
Great question. No, they are exactly how they are on the cars we drive here in the States.
Turn signal and windshield whippers are backwards though. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve hit the wipers trying to turn signal. 😂
@@RaitisRides ah, but are the gears themselves in the same position?
Woe nice this sporty iconic spors car love the Celicas
You have good taste1
first car i ever bought was from one of my fathers coworkers. he sold me his 91 celica for $600. i wish i never sold it. what a car.
In 94, I was in second grade making my friends laugh while doing Jim Carrey The Mask impersonations
That is so awesome!
Just purchased a 1994 st205. Completely uprated suspension and springs, Ksports brake discs and 450bhp under the hood..
I wasent even thought of in 1994. I was born in 2002. Graduated this year also.
Congrats on your graduation! I am so glad that you are here!
I test drove a new Gt 4 Celica it was numbered 6 so it was a limited addition car my mate worked for a Aus car magazine back in the day we got to play with lots of nice cars well before TH-cam in the 90's
Rare gem. Especially if you can find an USDM All Track.
You are so very right!
I got a perm in 1994. I looked like AC Slater from Saved By The Bell.
Runs like a clock and shifts like a dream
I would love to see an 86/BRZ based rally platform. I wish toyota still had an awd sports car. The GR corolla might be alright.
I think you would personally love this!
You are 💯 correct!
Did I click on the wrong channel. Crossover episode. Scotty's Rides!
This car is freaking awesome. People sleep on this car and the nissan pulsar gti
I totally agree with you!
