My tail lights are blown.
Oil leaked so massively that needs about a quart a week.
The seats are torn and the dash has cracks.
My power steering does that loud sqeeking noise.
My battery always fall down by the radiator fan.
The reverse gear does a loud sound when attempting to put it in gear.
The car dies out while driving and slows down and then it dies.
Air condition problem that leads to yourself stranded in hot summers.
Struts in front bangs loud on small bumps or dips.
The power windows, sunroof, and mirror motor dies out.
The keyhole in the trunk has problems so it ends up having without one (careful don't put thing in trunk you'll get jacked).
There is still more, but too many to list.
The stock strut bar gives terrific handling on high speeds.
The car offer good acceleration, it beated a 98 civic coupe. Even though my car is ten years older, still most Honda's has no chance.
This car is only built for racing because many problems occur on this car. The motor is just the good thing on the fourth generation.
This car I bought on memorial day, may 31st and had many problems, but I got most of it fixed just need time to fix it. I know how to fix most part on this clunker, don't be fooled by ignorant ASE certified people that tells you bunch of bull and false information.
Need to know how to fix the problems on this car please contact me at therealg85@hotmail.com.
OMG I couldnet disagree with you more I bought my 86 3sge JDM 4 genaration celica gt-r in OK condiction its never failed me with anything theses are great cars!!! they have great performance and great looks and they also handle very well and as for interoir etc I've never had problems wif motors etc waht you on about look after your car and it will be fine??
With the proper care, these cars will last a lifetime. I have my 86, and it has yet to fail me. I currently have 143K on it, and it runs like a champ. The interior is in excellent condition, and the engine is nice and quiet. All general maintenance and upkeep will keep this one running along time.
The only thing I have to say is that you are incorrect about your engine size, you should either have the 3s-fe 2.0, or the 3s-ge 2.0, these are the only motors that came in these cars from 1986-1989, but of course I could be wrong. I have not seen your car or know who has been under the hood.
I myself have just purchased an 87 GT with the 3s-fe 115bhp for $300 bucks and drove it home, can't beat that! I absolutely love these cars. Good luck.
