my 77 Celica, with a F22c engine and ITBs.

Post by nismojunky »

hello, my name is Mark, I live in Oklahoma City. I just picked this car up from a guy in New Mexico. I traded him my twin turbo FD for it. it needs alot of small details done to it, but nothing big. I plan on cleaning it up alot. I just took alot of the front end off to be sandblasted and re-painted black.

You might reconize this car. it used to be red, and was called "Diablo" The engine swap was done just 2 years ago by Andy Vang. This is #5 of 6 done by him, but the only one involving a f22c or a 'flat nose' celica.

Well, i'm gonna drift it alittle bit. But mostly just take it shows and win trophys. I have a 240sx for my daily, and an AE86 for my auto x/drift car. This Celica is too nice to race all time. Its such a nice car.

I would never have traded a twin turbo FD for a celica. :cry2:

.............but you are lucky the other guy did. :ohyeah:


........Does that make me the only Honda swapped into a non Honda again on the East Coast. :woot:

I sure would have loved to hear those ITB's.
