Hi all I've just got my 1st Celica it's the 190bhp a 1999 Generation 7 imported in 2003 and so I've been told it's a bit of a rare model 🤔

Welcome and well done, that does seem to be quite a find.

Exact value unknown at present. It’s a genuine import. And believed to be one of two white ones in uk at present. Rare rare car with automatic semi automatic gearbox with shift buttons on the steering for manual shifts. The car is highly modified and appreciated in the Japanese tuning circles.

The vvtli or lift system is fine and I know the lift bolts and filters have all been addressed. Hits lift lovely at 6000 rpm and screams all the way to 9000

Looks nice...The Celica is a lovely car to drive...and is very entertaining with that hooligan "lift" factor...lol
