So going through 1stgencelica.com like I always do everyday, I click on a project thread started by forum member, Bollox. I've seen his thread before, but never took the chance to look through the entire thing. His project is a 1980 Celica.
These celicas are usually powered by the 2.2L 20R. Hence, the model code of Ra40... but this celica is a tad bit different. This celica racks up something out of the ordinary...
For those of you who don't know, that is an 18rg. From the owner's own words :18RG with 92mm hi-comp pistons, oversizes SS valves bronze valve guides.
Running 45mm ITBS with Megasquirt controller, 24lb injectors and Ford EDIS ignition system.
TRD highrise headers, wideband o2 running gear W50 at the moment but W58 coming soon with a MKI Supra rear end and an LSD from an 85 Supra.
Thats right, you read it... ITBs.. no dual side drafts here.
the car has also just recently undergone a new paint job... i'd say it suits the car very well... i don't know, but i feel that shade of gray/silver reminds me much of a delorean. I get that 80's feel from it. LOVE THIS CAR!
See this blog right here?? This blog is dedicated to the happenings and misadventures of Miles Aquino; dealing with oldschool automobiles, all things nostaligic car, and the Back In Da Dayz crew
Back In Da Dayz, native to California's very own Bay Area.(With the exception of a few members) Basically a close nit of friends/fellow enthusiasts that share the love for old school automobiles. We ourselves don't claim to have started the old school movement, but we greatly feel that we are aiding the cause and have spread the era of old school rides to a new generation.
