73 Celica doing some tire shredding!

 

 

 

Well this is the start of a new chapter in my life....as of December 16 2007 I own a 1973 Celica track car! It's got a long history, which even includes a trip back to Japan where it had an 18RG motor installed in it, then it got shipped back to the US where the previous owner turned it into a track car, and eventually converted it to a 20/22R Hybrid 2.5L Race engine, that puts down 155rwhp, and 165rwtq!  But this is old news now, as I have not gotten around to getting an updated dtno run yet.  I have bumped the compression up two(2) hole points from 10.5:1 to just above 12.5:1 compression ratio.  I'm running 110 leaded race fuel in it now, and I'm still working the kinks out.  Once I get a head gasket to seal, a little dyno time will let me dial the carbs in and should be good to go from there.

 

Anyways, here are the pics as of the day I got it. What a blast to drive! And feel free to check out the Summary Info Page for more details on what's on it.
