Welcome to Celica-GTS.com, home of the original high performance import! This web site is my tribute to the Toyota Celica. More so the 1983 model with the GT-S package. Which includes four wheel independent suspension, fuel injection, big 14" x 7" aluminum alloy GTS wheels and fender flares, 8-way adjustable seat, cruise control, tilt wheel, power windows/mirrors and all of the other amenities you would expect from a modern import.

These speedy sport cars were generally run on the 22R/RE engine. This bulletproof engine has been in service since 1982 and they were produced up to the mid 90's. At 2.4 liters these are a fairly large displacement four cylinder engines. Generally pushing 105-115hp these machines can be pushed to more than 350hp. The use of forced induction is generally required for anything past around 250hp. A very reliable chain driven single overhead cam valve train is one of the many great features of this engine. As well as a forged crankshaft that rivals any bigblock V8. It is not uncommon to see these engines running after 400,000 miles have been run up on the odometer.

Statement Regarding The Preferred Merchant Program Celica-GTS.com official statement on vendors participating in the preferred merchants program: They are "Preferred Merchants" because they have sent me money! Last year, when I was looking for ways to off-set the costs of keeping this site up, I came up with several possibilities. In the end I decided to add paid membership enhancements and a way for businesses to sponsor the site. Regular members can make a one-time donation and receive an enhanced account. Preferred merchants on the other hand, have to make a monthly payment and receive a top level forum for their business. My understanding is that a couple members are upset because by giving them a forum under the title "Preferred Merchants", I am suggesting to the world that Celica-GTS.com and its members believe that these are the best businesses to work with. Indeed, this might not be the message I should be sending. I am hereby ending the preferred merchants program. All vendor accounts will be terminated at the end of the month. Vendors, I thank you for supporting Celica-GTS.com, and I hope we can work together again in the future. I will be slightly reorganizing the vendors program. Comments: 36 :: View Comments
