1982 Toyota Celica GT-s 2.4ltr 2bll carb from North America
Summary:
The classic import rodder
Faults:
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.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I own an 82 Celica, an awesome car with a few modifications of course...
After 3 months of thrashing and clocking speeds over 200km/h my engine blew.
I'm currently in the process of fitting a 3.8lt v6 Holden in her which will be able to handle my heavy foot.
Because of the small cabin space inside the car it allows for awesome audio capabilities.
I've installed
*Sony head unit
*pioneer splits
*kicker 6x9's
*2x 12" 1000w sub woofers
*2 amps to run the woofers
*1 amp to run splits and 6x9's.
My system is capable of pulling 160db and makes my roof pulse about an inch up and down.
A very sweet car 11 out of 10.
