1. What did you do with the 18RC that you pulled from this car, Lets talk if you still have the engine and transmission.

2. Look through this album and find the black 1976 liftback Celica with your completed effort. and read this month Grassroots motorsport on the white 1970 Celica that has just completed your modification.

At least your project is better detailed from start to finish which my hats off to you. Thats cool. Thanks for the production shots.

Nice car!!! The tail lights were mean looking that year, plus all that chrome. Crazy Honda engine in a Toyota, with an upgraded suspension. That is going to be very nice when it's all together.

That's going to be pretty nice ride, but why a Honda engine? Don't get me wrong I love hondas too, but why didn't you go with something like the 3S-GE Beams motor to keep it all toyota?

thanks for the love man....

why honda you ask? ehh? i saw a couple of them and i just fell in love with the set-up. i was going to go 2jzgte..but i didn't want a straight line car. i wanted an all around show, weekend, neck breaker, comfortable car..

i've driven the s2000's before and i loved the 9,000 rpms and the engine so yea... that's y i went with the f20c........
