Toyota only made about 2,500 Celica AllTrac models for sale in the US between 1990 and 1993 (ST185). Hence the All-Tracs are very rare and hard to find. What makes them unique from other Celicas is that the All-Trac (also known as GTFour in Europe and Japan) models are All-Wheel-Drive and powered by a 2.0 turbo charged (CT26) engine (3S-GTE).

It took me about six months to find one to buy. When I did find it, it had a lot of engine problems, but it had a pretty good body, interior and paint with just over 60,000 miles. I bought it and began fixing the many problems right away. I worked on it with what little time I had almost everyday for five months. I fixed a lot of things including the following: I installed an upgraded turbo to replace the stock (seized) turbo. I replaced the stock exhaust with the Aussie three inch turbo-back exhaust and downpipe (no cats). I installed the front mount intercooler and the Toyota CS bumper myself also.

I have installed an Apex'i electronic boost controler, HKS turbo timer and HKS fuel cut defencer. I found that I could not fix some major oil leaks on my own and couldn't afford the cost to just fix the leaks. So I decided to pay out some extra cash for a full engine rebuild/upgrade and I'm glad I did!

I still have a long way to go with this car, there are many areas yet untouched that could use some upgrades. I hope you can appritiate all that I've done on this rare car. Please check out all the pages and give me good ratings...you can even vote for this car as the showoff of the week.
Thanks,
Joseph
