1990 Toyota Celica GT from North America - Comments

The CV Joints went bad after I got it.

2. The Rack and Pinion is bad

3. The brake rotors were badly worn upon purchase and the calipers were faulty.

But then again it was previously owned by a "girl" (No offence ment to the girls who love their cars)

The car doesn't know it's only a four cylinder and doesn't act like one.

Even for an automatic it takes off from a stand still like it was on jet fuel and N2O. It handles great and performes without flaw even in it's most stock form. It is heart stopping and body trembling action at your mercy!

Must be mistaken... your previous car must have been a Yugo, for you to think that your celica is on "jet fuel and nitrous" if its heart stopping power you want, take your moms minivan for a spin. even they are a lot faster than your celica. Inexperience is the factor here. ask a friend with a car that has a V8 to take you for a ride, and your perspective will change immediately. jet fuel will be out of the question.

Whenever I decide to do something, I do my homework, research, and calculation, and I try my best not to be bias with the end result, I try to make my comments blend and reflect the facts, that's why I comment you on your website for most of what you have done and up to this point, this however, is when my respect for you ends and I begin my criticism! I wrote a review about my 1990 Toyota Celica GT a few years ago, when I revisited the site earlier this week I looked up my old review and saw that someone had commented on it, more specifically verbally assulted my car and compared it to a V8. I wrote a reply to this individual, but it was never posted, at this point I will call whoever chose not to post it a HYPOCRITE! I read the rules concerning the messages that you allow to be posted, and if the individual who commented on my review was allowed to have his say when it came to my import then why wasn't my comment posted assulting (with know facts!) what he had said? I think that it wasn't because what I said wasn't true, nor was it anymore insulting than what he had said about my car, but the fact that you are ignorant and bias in your decisions of what gets posted! Were it praising a domestic, it would have been there the same day, but because it proved otherwise to what he had said, it was rejected! I hope that you all have fun driving your little POS Mustangs and Cameros and all the other POS domestics that you drive while knowing in the back of your minds that imports now dominate the streets and horsepower race and that domestic are fighting for their very survival! So go ahead and don't post the ones you chose... people still know the truth. DABLUNT65@hotmail.com.

Well, now your angry comment got posted. Happy day. By the way, you're obviously right about the "horsepower wars." I hear NASCAR is going to start using a Civic engine next season. Because, as we know, 117 horsepower is better than 800. And Chevy will soon modify the Corvette Z06, chopping that V8 in half. Anybody who knows the reverse import laws of physics knows that you get more power when you reduce displacement. Shelby learned that the hard way during the 60s, as did Yenko with his Camaros. I, for one, am glad someone had the sense to step up and set the record straight. Thank you, Civic driver. Our V8s never could have sucked this much without you.

As Will Ferrell says in "Semi Pro" - everybody love everybody haha! Domestics, imports - to each his own.

I just bought a '90 2.2L Celica GT today. It's no rocket by any means - any V8 would kick the crap out of it. But, it's fast enough for me right now. I think it will be a good car for a couple years.

By the way, does anyone know how much a power steering pump for the car would cost (for the part alone, excluding labor)?

Cheers.
