We've always loved the way later Celicas look, but this one solves their lack of performance.

Somewhere, I can hear Scotty Kilmer's angry cries.

I had a 2003 GT-S. Loved the looks, but hated the interior ergonomics and seat comfort. This V8 conversion is cool as hell, but doesn't address my issues.

Very cool! Not my favorite Celica model but cool nonetheless.

I thought it has the 5.0-liter V8 from ISF.....the 4.3-liter 3UZ V8 is not quite a performance engine + weight. Don't think it have good weight distribution.

crazy to convert this from FWD to RWD and make it look stock with no obvious changes to the tunnel and rear end! i'm impressed.
