I never even knew there was such a huge scene for Celicas in Europe


It is pretty rare to see any specific gen other than a 7th gen on the roads. I do around 350 miles a week and might see one other gen 6 during the week if I am lucky.

Just realised I have not posted here for quite a while and a can't find my other thread.

Well since last time I posted the car has had a slight change. It has just finished having a 3.0l V6 1MZ-fe engine fitted with fully ported and polished heads.

I havent picked it up from the shop yet as it still needs to go through its MOT (UK road safety test) but here are a few tasters

What about your exhaust? Do you still have dual exhaust on your v6?
