1982 Toyota Celica GT-s review from North America
"The classic import rodder"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The carburetor is running too rich resulting in poor idling during cold start up (could be timing?). It has small pockets of rust around the hood, and the badges on the hatch door. It is flawless other than those problems. Remember it only has 100k miles :)
General comments?
This car is classic!! I bought it for 400 bucks in its flawless condition a year ago. It even has the original paint gloss to it!! I also have a exhaust tip for it and it sounds even more classic!! I haven't done much to it, but when I'm done it's going to be ripping the quarter in 13 seconds. There is nothing that I don't like about this car.
