Too much fad-ness
Ken Block doesn't have a sunroof cover!
Nor does he have a front-engined, front wheel drive Scion xB.
Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

Am I the only one who thinks that the rear end looks awesome? I actually really like that look. The whole car looks great, actually, except for the grille and headlights. But on balance, I find little questionable about this one!
As for this, as good as the visuals look, I think the sound and performance of a Toyota Celica won't hold up if everyone is expecting that of an Aston-Martin. It would be great for student drivers though - they could have all of the looks without the maintenance headaches and (most of) the personal risk to themselves and everyone around them that comes with extreme performance...

Either it's the prettiest Celica ever, or the most reliable Aston Martin ever. Slap in a 3SGTE and it's a Win-Win-Win situation.
Fail-wheel drive, you say? Tch. Elitist. Swap in the AWD system with the 3SGTE and it'll be a Win-Win-Win-Win situation.

There is a guy thats putting a 2JZ into a 7th gen celica. I'll have to find the build thread and post. Put that in the Celica Aston amd we got a deal

I think that is what niky was trying to imply. And to my knowledge these are the chassis codes for AWD Celicas
ST165 1986-1989, ST185 1989-1993 and ST205 1994-1999.

The year in the ebay Ad for it is listed as a 1995, but I dont know if the orginal Celica that was used is a ST205 (AWD) or an ST202 (FWD). I'd asume the guy that did has enough money to use the better model (the ST205) but I wouldn't be suprised if it's based on the ST202.

I'm doubting he started with an All-Trac/GT-Four as a base. He likely used a Celica convertible to save time, and those were strictly FWD originally.
That doesn't preclude him swapping on a GT-Four drivetrain, though...

Nice Aston Celica
. I have to say this guy really took his time on the build. It looks amazing, you can trick anyone thinking that's a real Aston Martin until it performance time.
He should try doing either a custom RWD drivetrain or opt for a AWD system from a ST205 GT-Four. And for the engine, a choice around the 3SGTE, 2JZGTE or even a Toyota V8 1UZFE. 👍

Only if they get rid of the red top and made it white or even black, it would look more reasonable on the car. But it looks good.
