Sega Rally fan turns his Celica into game car photo

For one fan, it's GAME OVER, YEAH for his normal Toyota 1995 Celica. This AtariAge forum membe must really like Sega Rally, as he went out of his way to match his car to the in-game Celica ST205 GT-Four from the classic video game Sega Rally Championship.

I'll be honest. I actually considered buying a Celica solely based on my love for Sega's racer. I didn't, but the car still always reminds me of the game. This guy was probably in the same mindset. That's probably why he spent $300 in decals and aftermarket parts to mod his car. Sure, it's just stickers, but it also comes with serious nerd cred.

I hope he doesn't really rally race around town, as it will be a real GAME OVER, YEAH.

Serious props to this guy.

Though, I think the decals *may* attract a bit more attention from police looking to issue speeding tickets.

Rally Mexico starts tomorrow. Also 300 isn't alot for mods he probally has just a no-name Cold Air and a no name autozone "muffler" (I use that word extremely loosely), I'd bet he spent more on the decals.

I applaud his dedication, but... it's still a Celica, dude.

I've always loved that particular design - I think it's been used on Supra's too right? Supra's look cool with or without those markings, but Celica's go from ugly to adorable when dressed up in that Castrol get-up. I also love the classic blue and yellow of Subarus from the Impreza on through the WRX and so on.

Never played much Sega Rally, but Castrol livery looked good on a couple of my favorite Toyotas in Gran Turismo 2. Thumbs up to this.

@ Mourning Orange,

Holy shit, Takumi's 86, niiiice!

Btw, i'm amazed it only cost $300 to get that car to look like that, Honestly, that's a good fucking deal.

I didn't know Sam's Club sold mods for Rice Burners. I just dropped 5K on BAER brakes, ignition coils and undersized pulleys for my Shelby and this douche spent $300 on stickers and what?

Interesting fact: Toyota's rally team actually cheated with that car using illegally modified turbochargers. They even built some sort of spring loaded mechanism to hide this from inspectors.
