I have not had much go wrong with the car since I've owned it, But I have had to add a NOS interior including seats, carpets and dash because of sun damage.

There is a fair amount of rust which I am hoping to get cut out during a respray if I continue to spend $$$ on it.

Also the clutch fluid holder under the bonnet near the firewall does leak.

And it has started to make a screaming noise when it has a low battery or when I turn on the Fan/air con.

I am pleased with its off the line pick up. I think That the extractors and 4inch exhaust system have helped.

The car is lowered, it has; mag wheels, new windscreen, new interior, woodgrain steering wheel, momo titanium pedals, new carpets and a red respray.

It also has a pioneer CD/DVD player with touchscreen LCD screen, Play-station 2, Twin sub woofers, two amplifiers and four fusion 3way speakers.

Nothing has gone wrong since I've had it, but there are some things that are wrong with it.

These things came with the car.

The rear bumper bar has been taken off, although it came with the car.

It was taken off because the back end needs straightening and there is a crack in the back end of it as well, just below the hatch.

The car also makes a very weird "Chzzt Chzzt" sound, my step dad believes this could be due to a fraying timing belt or something.

Also, the center piece of the steering wheel has been taken off, and I can't get it back on.

One of the center pieces of one of the wheels is missing as well.

Well, I've had the car for a few days now and I have to admit I love it already.

I've loved the 2nd generation Celicas for a very long time, and I'm proud to say I own one now.

And at just 17 years of age!

The car handles really well for a car that hasn't been looked after too well.

The car definately needs a new paint job, as the current paint job (yellow and grey) looks really disgusting.

I'm thinking along the lines of something black.

The car looks really good aswell.

What I mean by this is that the car is definately not ugly.

I love the doors, they are nice and long and have no window frame for that extra sporty feeling.

Another thing I like about the doors is where the door lock is, it's obvious too see the car has been planned and created pretty well.

I'm amazed at how heavy the bonnet on the car is, it's got a bit of weight in it, that's for sure.

I was quite happy to see the car had very little rust, of course, this may change after the car has been sanded back for a paint job though, as there could be rust I'm yet to find out about.

When you sit in the car, you feel very low to the ground, I was amazed at how weird it felt to sit in at first, but I've already gotten used to that.

It's definately better than my old rusted out Mitsubishi Colt heap.

Faults:

Flat battery.

Right headlight blew.

Clutch (pressure plate and thrust bearing) changed.

Tires replaced with re-alignment.

Front brakes replaced - discs and pads.

Rocker cover gasket replaced.

General Comments:

Outstanding reliability and economy. I rate the performance and handling as satisfactory: the 2 Lt engine yields 75 KW of power and the turning circle is around 10 meters with direct and comfortable steering.

Very comfortable interior with a "cockpit" type dash and sleek low mounted seats. Not considered a "sports car" of its time, but certainly well presented and stylish.
