The engine is missing.
The timing is off.
Oil is getting to the spark plugs. It's a blown seal or problem valve.
Backfires.
Rust is a big problem.
Even with all these problems the car still goes over 100 hundred miles an hour. It corners like a dream. This car will spin its tires through 3rd gear. I have beat this car into the ground and it still starts up every morning. I plan to do some major work over spring break on this baby and when I'm finished well just a word of warning to all you Honda owners, I will be waiting for you hehe.
Dude there is no way your 84 celica will beat my honda accord. I have a v-tech motor 5 speed with a full apex-i exhaust, DC sport header, aem cold air intake, 9mm denzo spark plugs/wires, high-flow ractive cat, aem cam gears/aem pulleys, new aem fuel rail/injectors with a 75 shot of zex nitrous. I live in virgina if you EVER EVER want to race me I will put 1,000 dollars down. PEACE

Just a comment on the last comment. DRUGS ARE BAD! JUST SAY NO TO DRUGS!
Thank you.
Oh yea! Also own 1984 Celica GT-S...super fast car! can drive it into the ground and it will enjoy it and never let ya down. Rust? Just adds a little something something to the car.
Well I blew the car up, but since then I joined the military. i got stuck in Iraq and picked up some extra cash. so when I get home I should have some time to repair the problems my youth has caused on the car. LC engineering here I come.
I own an 84 Celica ant this car runs like a champ. with a little work these cars can swoop on a Honda, big time! the rear wheel drive is awesome too. it's an import, but not at the same time. peace.
I have a 84 GT-S celica and its actually pretty slow. is it maybe because it has 294k miles? I'm a very good driver, so it can't be me. I've got beaten by 4-door corolas, intrepids, and sentras. WTF? what can I do? maybe engine swap? and if it only has 105hp and 135lbs of tq, how can it be that fast?
290K+? Just goes to show how durable those 22R's are.
I have a 1984 Celica GT liftback as my daily driver, and I love it! My dad has a 1982 Celica GT notchback set up as a full tube-chassis race car, so I know you can make them fast.
You take a 22R block, bore it 0.080" over, use JE forged pistons, a heavily ported 20R head, a Holly Dominator intake manifold, a 500 CFM 2 bbl. carburetor (we're thinking about trying a 390 4-bbl.), and an LC Engineering Stave IV or better cam and header. Dump that into a Dynomax Super Turbo, and you've got a screamer on your hand! 80 miles a hour in second gear, doing about 8 grand, and she won't blow until you hit 13,500 RPM!!!
I have a Toyota Celica GT84 and is the best, I race Hondas all the time and I always win! I also can beat the Mustang!
I Have a 84 gt notch-back and man from 0-60 it is so fast I race anything that wants to race it also be my dads 84 1\2 mustang GT350.
But that's what happens when these cars run great.
