First Celica is the one i still have now,around 10 years on. A Gen5 GT-R and an ST205 GT4 I had at points as well,but the gen4 remains Its evolved a little over the years.

Here's my first of 12 Celicas I have had , still got three of them , I have consistently owned at least one Celica for the past 30 years ! My first Celica , 1981 1600 ST Coupe , pic was took in 1988 ,

That was my first Celica 5 years ago I loved that colour.

I bought this ST205 in June 2016. Currently in the Practical Classics Celica Buyers Guide This is the one owner 50k miles WRC I bought in Nov 2018. A (very) long term project

My first 205, had this for 5 1/2 years and also had a green 205 for a while along with this silver one

This was black beauty my firsy ever celica bought in 2015 for £600. It was a st 2.0 automatic import. it was immaculate inside and out. i loved how the badges and logo were gold instead of silver and the sports button!!!

.......and this is the Carlos Sainz GT4 my brother bought 2 weeks ago

Thought it would be a good idea to have a place where members can post up pics of the first celica they owned, also a link to any old build or mod threads connected to that car. I always enjoy looking through old pics of members cars, always makes me want to buy another gen 6 lol Anyway here's my first celica, a 25th anniversary gen 6, loved this car and I'm now on my 3rd celica.

Well I'm very new to Celica ownership, a few friends have had st182 and a carlos sainz but I went down a different path. So my first and hopefully long lasting Celica is my current st205 which I bought from a friend's wife in November. She wanted something more reliable and I couldn't let the chance slip. Only driven it about 500 miles so far and chucked about 2k at it for major service and a few other fixes, which seems to be par for the course in gt4 ownership. So far loving the smooth suspension and ease of driving. Plan is to just keep it well maintained, tidy it up and use it as my main car. Still got a couple of MR2s for playing with mods. This isn't my first homologation special, had 3 Pulsar GTiRs over the years. Nothing like a rally car err excuse the purple, I will get round to turning those parts black at some point or at least removing the spats and skirts. St205 '95 Jap import, no abs, almost fully stock.

First ever photo of mine, taken October 2013. Only had it 4 days at this point.

Today I added 10 Bhp

My first Celica absolutely loved driving it

Well this is one of the only pictures I can find of my first Celica. A 2003 thunder grey 190 T Sport. I did a lot of work on it and even more mileage

Yepp, my doors were frozen shut too. The ice that formed on the door looked pretty awesome though! Sent from my ONEPLUS A6003 using Tapatalk

Look on the bright side; it will be good after getting them changed and you feel how much better the brakes are

Fitted my OEM HID headlights that I picked up for £80, a few small scuffs on them, but only really noticeable if you're up close. Also test fitted the OEM TRD front bumper (paid £60 for it!) with the OEM fog lights (paid £10 for them), Can't wait to get it sprayed and fitted properly. Also finished up the button panel that will control the lighting in several areas of the car. Very productive weekend I think Sent from my ONEPLUS A6003 using Tapatalk

Gen 7s values are enduring the undistinguished age of being too young to be classic, and too old to be hip An alternative strategy is not sell if a reasonable resale value ain't there. Mothball Moo into barn storage somewhere safe, under a dust sheet with battery removed etc... Revisit in a decade from now - Gen 7s will be far rarer, more interesting, desirable, and most probably far more valuable.

Anyone else got a frozen Celica? Went to take mine out last night and the doors had frozen shut! Had to get in the passenger side and climb over the centre console.

Other than the gearknob that looks really lovely. Would want to have a good look underneath at that price and make sure its not burning oil badly, if its bad you should see it smoking

Should have given the bumper a wipe too, oops!

Not what I was expecting to find when checking my rear callipers

Assuming you have had them balanced a second time and the problem remains then a problem I have seen in the past is the refurb places put too much paint on the back mating surface - so it doesnt give a flush flat finish against the hub - causing a wobble.. the other place is the centre hole where it mounts - thats easier to spot as they dont go on easy. Post up a pic of the back of the wheel - might be worth sanding them back if thats the case

Well, my local garage chopped off them pesky drop links, a very slow drive home and finally was able to finish fitting my BC coil overs, gone for a small drop and very happy with the new look.

My new Sparcos absolutely love them y
