ST205 GT4: Whiteout!

The Four Headlights are a reminder of the headlight design on the original Celica

 There are some brands that have been synonymous with rally racing. While Subaru and Mitsubishi were arguably the most dominant Japanese brands in the past 20 years competing in rally, The Toyota Celica started competing in 1972, reaching legendary status by the time the sixth generation, ST205 Celica GT4 rolled out of the factory.

Toyota Racing Development

With a newly revised 3S-GTE delivering an astounding 251 Horsepower for 1994, The All Wheel Drive GT-4 was a rally fan's dream car. Simon Haddad of Fredericton, New Brunswick was one of those dreamers too, being indocrinated into rallying at a young age by his father. The Celica always stood out to him as something unique, and since the 6th Generation GT4 was not offered in Canada, he would own a car that was relatively exlusive. And one of the most badass rallying derived cars ever to rock the gravel.

The rear wing, Hood Scoops and OZ Racing wheels show that this isn't an ordinary Celica.

The White O.Z. racing wheels, multiscooped hood and GT4 Rally wing set the car apart, making sure you know that this isn't your average Celica. Simon has added a few of his own modifications including full three inch exhaust, custom intake and HKS boost controller.

Right Hand Drive: This GT4 wasn't offered in Canada.

The Interior is augmented with a Momo steering wheel, VDO and Apexi Gauges and an HKS turbo timer. He hopes that adding methanol injection and a tune will get him into the 350 wheel Horsepower range, but says that without changing the turbo it could be a long shot.

Simon says it all when he states the reason he chose the Celica GT-4 was because the Combination of Styling, power and fun in every weather condition were hard to beat in anything else. We think he probably couldn't have brought the car to a better place.
