I know its a shadow from someone taking that picture, but it looks like an F-18 breaking the sound barrier.....roarrrr!!!

This is still the coolest picture, because its not a Celica standing still.. Ride On!!

this made my day

hahaha! i thought it was the sound barrier? dammit :cry:

Haha !! I saw that pic a long time ago and never noticed the 'sound barrier' lol. But I think a FA22 would be more fitting. Like a TA22 Celica powered by a turbine! That would be an engine swap....

This thread for your classic RWD Celicas. Finished or projects welcome. Let's see what you got or what your working on. Give a brief description of what you have done or what you are doing. Let's see 'em!

i'll start it off.

74 celica started off pea green with an 18RC and automatic transmission.

yanked the 18RC and swapped in an 18RG

Right now it looks about like this

Konig Rewind 15x6's wrapped in Kumho 195/50's
MSD 6A ignition
Blaster 2 Coil
TRD style headers from Toysport
Shaved front and rear side marker lights
18RG engine swap (twin cam 2.0ltr w/ dual 40PHH side draft carburetors)
5Speed Conversion (Originally Automatic)
Electric Fan conversion

You have did nice job, It looks incomplete as the front lights are remain same change them by putting yellowish transparent plastic tape to make the yellowish. Change the two lights yellowish and other light remain same. choose left side light of right side and right side of left side. This gives different look to you car.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I might have to let the car go as I just lost my garage where I had it parked.
