Whilst browsing through ST205's upon hearing my friend has caved and decided to get one (I always convert them in the end )
I stumbled upon this

Second thread searching for TA23.....would've been the first if this thread didn't exist

more importantly - tell us about your 205

[Mr.Phreak]

Meh, Plastic Celica's are for girls

[d1 mule]

agreed, turned to crap with FWD/4WD

RWD RULES

[Prymal]

been there done that - Ive owned all the most successful celicas used in racing

Evolution for win ended with the 205 .. Toyota got too good at it and got caught being naughty

RWD versions has its place as classic admiration - the Gt4 4wd gave the celica its credentials as a winning formula for racing on a world scale..

just remember that

[SIKBUZ]

But why would you want to split the power..?

RWD is more fun..

[Eddy1612]

RWD is the BEST

has anyone had first hand experience with this car?

i was thinking of swapping it for my 82 supra and am very temped but the supra is in such mint condition...

I knew the last 2 owners and it was quite well looked after by both.
The current owner i have no idea.

It was fully rebuilt and stripped panelled/painted by the one i knew first and was done very professionally (6-7 years ago ?? guess??)
The last owner changed the engine to the 3T-GTE which i believe was rebuilt at the time.

Overall a nice car ,with(by the sounds of it) a little work would be a very tidy usable car.

there is a comment that there is some rust... but it may be a easy fix
