Hi there,
A month ago I have traded my Celica ST205 for 1977 RA28. Car is in perfect shape, currently with 18R engine but over the summer it will be swapped with 18RG. I am really happy with the car, it is my daily driver and works perfect.
Cheers to all 1gen lovers.
Tom

Help needed: I need 18RG timing chain slipper (13559-88230) and damper (13563-88250). Already posted in "Wanted". These will make the new heart beat again. I promise to post big update when the engine and Celi are running together.

I have not realized that it is two years since I have the car. Few things changed, more under the hood than outside.

A teaser for now, more pics will follow after the weekend (track day with 130 other classic cars :lol: ).

One more European, WOW, very nice looking car. We have the same rims, see. :D
It is the new engine, isn't it? I have the old and less powerful 2T. :cry:

The engine is 18RG with capacity increased to 2.2l - I could not get hold of original pistons for the rebuild, only forged ones for 20R.

Do you read my mind? After few track days I am considering to go down by 3-4 cm (1.2-1.6") which would also require the springs to be stiffer than stock.
What do you have? For how much? And why so expensive? ;-)
