What a difference 30 years makes juxtaposition of Toyota Celica ST185 Turbo 4WD, 1994 & Toyota GR 86 Rally Legacy Concept, 2024. For this year's SEMA show Toyota have created a homage to the brand's rally heritage. The GR86 has been fitted with the 3-cylinder turbocharged, GR-FOUR AWD drivetrain from the GR Corolla to create a vision of how a contemporary version of the Celica GT-Four might appear.

the Fall Out Boys (™) and what cars i think they'd drive

this is just for fun i am not really qualified this is just based on vibe after loving this band for over a decade and also driving and looking at cars

⋆˚｡⋆୨✧୧˚ Patrick ˚୨✧୧⋆｡˚⋆

patrick would most definetly drive a toyota prius.

it doesn't even have anything to do with it being a hybrid vehicle he just seems like a prius driver

and by that,,, yes i do mean he would drive annoyingly slow i'm sorry but it's just the truth

that being said, he would use his turn signals

for a long... long... l o n g time... but at least he uses them!

⋆˚｡⋆୨✧୧˚ Pete ˚୨✧୧⋆｡˚⋆

okay so

i think pete would daily a tesla, like a model y or something

but he's definetly got multiple weekend cars

like really nice ones

porsche 911 turbo s or like a lambo or something idfk that much about nice sports cars

but like my guy has money and i think he would like Nice Cars.

⋆˚｡⋆୨✧୧˚ Joe ˚୨✧୧⋆｡˚⋆

bmw 350i

something... something about joe makes me think he's a bmw driver

and im sorry

but like,,, can you not see that c'mon

if nothing else he might drive a tesla

⋆˚｡⋆୨✧୧˚ Andy ˚୨✧୧⋆｡˚⋆

you cannot convince me this man would not drive a subaru outback

i'm talking the army green we all know and love

like come ONNNN

would it ever venture off the pavement?

.....probably not but that's okay!

if you can't see him driving an outback, i think he would also maybe drive a jeep wrangler or some kind of small pickup truck

like some kind of vehicle made to haul or something

(but it doesn't really outside of gear maybe nor does it leave the pavement lmao)

this has been what i think fob would drive! pls lmk what you think, especially if you disagree, and if i should do this with other bands!

TOM'S Corolla Turbo

The TOM'S Corolla Turbo project in 1999 was a notable effort by TOM'S Japan to bring its high-performance tuning expertise to the Southeast Asian market, particularly the Philippines. By collaborating with Kilton Motors, TOM'S aimed to enhance the Toyota Corolla Altis, a popular sedan, to compete directly with the Honda Civic SiR, which was a favorite among car enthusiasts.

Key Features and Components

Aero Kit and Turbo Unit: The project included a stylish aero kit and a bolt-on turbo unit designed to boost both appearance and performance.

Components and Fabrication: Various off-the-shelf Toyota parts, like the turbo and intercooler, were utilized to keep costs down. Custom components included a welded tubular stainless steel turbo manifold and downpipe, aluminum intercooler piping, and a 3-inch mild steel exhaust.

ECU Tuning: TOM'S used its own programmable ECU for tuning, achieving an estimated 150hp at the wheels.

Driving Experience and Performance

Test Vehicle: The test vehicle, equipped with the TOM'S kit, showcased a sporty bodykit with a hood scoop, front bumper air dam, and a tall rear wing. It also featured exclusive 15x7 alloy wheels.

Turbo Performance: The small turbo provided quick spooling and minimal lag, making the car very responsive. The engine's power delivery was strong, easily lighting up the front tires up to third gear.

Publicity Stunt: In a drag race event, the car, driven by actor and TOM'S works driver Jomari Yllana, reportedly achieved an 11+ second, 167kph run down the 1/8th mile.

Market Reception and Rarity

High Cost: The TOM'S package had a high price tag of around P160,000, in addition to the cost of the Corolla Altis, making it affordable only to a few.

Limited Sales: Despite the efforts to market the car, only a handful of body kits and four complete vehicles were sold. These vehicles are now considered rare, with some still believed to be in their original condition.

The TOM'S Corolla Turbo remains one of the fastest and most powerful Corollas ever sold by local dealers in the Philippines. While opinions on its aesthetics varied, its performance and rarity have cemented its status as a unique and notable part of automotive history in the region.

This piece went through at least 3 major revisions but I'm glad to have seen it through! I wanted to expand on the world of the piece "Chasing the Apocalypse" with a full rewind to the very start of the story, with the main character "Ax'L Turbski" lining up for his first race. Giving him a last second rundown of the course is former Fenrite miner Darryl Bedrock (much to his sister Anne's [who can be found running across the street in the back] displeasure of getting involved with this stuff).

I wanted the setting to be about 10 or so years after the end of this huge 20 year galactic conflict where everyone's expanding back out across the stars, and the story takes place on the most popular of the former frontier planets, Vakmerő. technology wise they have advanced past the "Space 80's" and are into the late 90s, roughly 1997 ish. With everyone expanding to new planets they need fuel-efficient ways of getting around wherever they settle down, and as such tit's given birth to an automotive renaissance, and this coupled with the rapid expansion of the size of Vakmerő's port city, Túl, has led to a growing illegal street racing racket being run by the city's growing gangs, who fight over who the city "belongs to".

There's more to this that I'd love to expand on with future illustrations but in the here and now please enjoy!

The cars included from left to right:

3rd Gen Camaro

2nd Gen Supra

Renalt 5 Turbo

Porsche 914

Thanks again for looking at my work, I'll try to post all of this up here regularly in the future!
