Yep, at last, after having sold my 1.8 ST, I bought my beloved Celica ST205 this saturday in Italy.
Ok, let's go for the photos first ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This beauty was first registred in november 94 and has 103.000 km. Full stock, and really good shape (only one fender would need some repainting since I am a maniac). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Engine bay is clean : ![]() ![]() Mine was the first I ever drove, and waow my god ![]() It accelerates like hell, I am already in love ! ![]() ![]() ![]() When driving back from Italy to France, my mean fuel consumption was around 10.5 liters per 100 km, so quite few, I was surprised. I always heard this car was a pain with fuel consumption, but my old underpowered AE86 was almost as thirsty ! ![]() ![]() I was a bit disappointent when I tried an ST185 and a Carlos Sainz in the past, and I must admit the ST205 is really on another level. I tried a top speed run on sunday on a French highway, I reached 260 km/h and the car would still tell me "come on, push it" ![]() For now, first I will make a large check up, change the oils, spark plugs, filters... And later will come a standard BPU, with intake/exhaust/boost raise, some bronze wheels... Thanks for reading ![]() -------------------- |

Because Toyota hates Americans [yes that means you Canadians too - As I was telling a Canadian friend the other day - you guys ARE American - just not from the US ![]() -------------------- ![]() |
