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.

Nice job on your Celica, its really nice to see older Celicas tear up the track :) I am part of a site called TuneMyToyota.com which is for performance Toyotas and I think you would like it. My name is Rebel, I'm a moderator on there and look forward to seeing you join.
