Toyota Celica 2.0 GTI 16v 5th generation ST182. British car, not import.
The model I’m describing here is a ‘K’ reg 1993 5th generation, 2.0 16v GTI, 3SGE engined front wheel drive version of this wonderful car; it has 154 BHP on tap and is in a non turbo form.
The reason for the GT4 coming about with its 200 odd HP output is because there was too much power for just a 2 wheel drive car to handle, torque steering and wheel spin being major drawbacks ...
...My previous experience in the Toyota range was a 1986 3.0 Supra (3-MGE) non turbo.
I find the two cars similar in many ways but, this one is smaller, lighter and handles a whole lot better than my old beauty that suffered the ravages of the metal moth, and ended up as a 1.5 ton metal cube! , even in my trade (motor mechanic) there’s a time to call it a day on expenses. First impressions.
Looking at the shape and pleasing curves of this vehicle ...
