Long been overdue is another Random Oldschool from the web. Today i bring you a truly magnificent example of the term "Resto-Mod"
what we have here is a 1974 Toyota Corolla. Popularly known as the "Peanut". The Peanut is known for its more compressed length compared to the Corolla coupe sr5. i have no idea why its called a peanut.... it just is lol.
This beauty is another Norcal-Nostalgic. 1stgencelica.com member Verjum2 owns her. Ver started this project 2 years ago. the 1st year just collecting parts and accessories for her. and just last year putting this peanut together...
BTW.. i love the Volk Artisans on it..
Here she is at last year's Toyota Fest. sporting the infamous Tom igettas.
you may be staring really hard at that picture looking at that motor... well here it is...
A 20v 4ag Blacktop. what a beautiful engine bay right???? this motor's work was done by Norcal's one and only Performance Options. just check out the coil cover plate!!!
oh, and BTW... custom high-rise headers from Performance Options also. guaranteed more torque that TRD!!!
Good one on ya VER!!!
Yes, i miss you my 82 corolla wagon. After 4 years of being my obsession i had to move on. Prestine 3tc with around 250k+ miles on it, 4-1 headers, one of a kind exhaust, that sound... Oh how do i miss that purr. The sport tuned trd suspension. The way the road felt through each turn. You will be missed. But lived on by the celica.
Ok, my brother came up with the name, but this is our new Lexus ls400. Nothing special, just lowered it and slapped some 18x9.5 wheels on it. I love driving slow :)
Ok, there are my wheels that i have on my celica. Enkei crossfevers 14x6, +8 offset. I love them. But the only thing that makes me think of selling them is that they're 6 inches wide! Like thats it?! I want wider wheels. So to keep? Or not to keep? That is the question. Help me out hamlet.
And i am back once again.... from a very long distraction. ok, i may have lost readers here, but i want you guys back! to support the nostalgic movement and now to dig into my daily living... ok ok, that might not be as interesting, but.. it will prove to keep this blog alive when i dont have any nostalgic talk...
and now that i can mobile blog, things should come by much faster.
So just jp, mark from bidd and myself
So many of you might know that Toyota has unveiled the predecessor to the ae86... well in all honesty, the only connection to the ae86 would be it being a Toyota, being Rear wheel drive and the "86" in the name... anything beyond that is unbeknown to me. one would think that Toyota would have at least borrowed one of the ae86's famous attributes. but putting aside the fact that it does not inherit any of it's ancestor's physical traits, it does have traits that are all its own. which brings us to my question... hate it or love it? or is there a medium somewhere between the two? maybe a picture of the FT rocking the panda red and black color way and wide set Watanabes will bring you over to its' side. Is there a picture of such sort????
what do you all think??????
