New celica owner in the room.

Post by amery37 »

Hi everyone!


I am a new owner to a classic 1977 RA29 fastback Celica and I live in Twin Falls, Idaho.
I am doing a full resto and mods to this car that are out of this world!

I will upload pics soon, but I only just registered to this site about 5 minutes ago.

To give you some idea of the "Godzilla project" I am installing a 2nd. Generation Suzuki Hayabusa 1340 C.C. motor with stage 3 ECM update, and a stage 2 turbo for over 400 RWHP.. with 13000 RPM redline!
The busa' engine is DIRECT DRIVE 3:1 ratio from the busa' 6spd. trans to the reverse control and to the drive line of the car. Meaning: I can take off in 5th gear and literally burn the tires off of the car, if I like.

The car is professionally lowered ..er, SLAMMED with front and rear fully adjustable coil overs, and trimmed with Willwood discs that are wrapped in 17" x 10" TSR golds in the rear and 16" x 8" in the front. The body and interior has been gutted to a mere 1800 +/-Lbs. There are too many upgrades to list! cage, carbon seats, carbon body panels, and sx300 full carbon pikes peak wing, vents, air dam..more, more, more!!! lol.
I am seriously looking forward to putting a certain youngster in his place that drives a new GTR around my town.. That, and some vettes, and bikes, and all those little noisy Honda cars that think they are quick.

Looks like quite an impressive project there...It'll be cool to see it done.

This community is so widespread that it is pretty much a world of trusting randoms and pay pall, so I wouldn't expect to get too much physical cash offers, especially being from Idaho. On the bright side, I am pretty sure Aaron from Classic-celica.com is in idaho so maybe he can help you out, also bank transfers are pretty common
