1982 Celica ST
Posted: Wed Jan 08, 2014 12:22 am
Hi all !
So, let me introduce myself.
I'm a 21yo frenchman who lives in France (obviously).
My toyota addiction started around 2 years ago, when I met a friend who owns 3 of them at the moment (2 tercel 4wd, and a Levin 86). I've checked different models for my first car, and I've been hesitating between 3 models: AE92 Corolla, T16 Celica, and TA60.
I bought my Celica only a couple days after finding it. (for 950€, which is ~1300$)
More about my daily driver
Year: 1982
Model: TA60 ST
Engine: 2TB
miles: 100k
It comes with brown interior, cream colored seats, a removable sunroof, and a "black rear" (I don't know how to say it otherwise)
And according to the VIN, it's the 4300ish made
Pictures time:
(here's what I mean by "black rear"
How it looks today:
Mods so far:
Painted Steelies (13")
US format registration plate & plate holder
Home made muffler (AE86 resonator)
Coming next:
85 Celica front bumper & lip (painted in black)
A set of SSR mesh 15x6.5"
And nothing done to the engine (yet). And that's why I registered. Without wanting to drag race or having a 200hp+ car, A few more horsepowers would be welcomed. It's an unknown car over here, so there's nothing 2tb related, whatsoever.
Engine mods aren't for today, but there's no harm getting informations.
So, what i've read/heard to get some more ponies:
>Bigger carburetors (such as Webber DCOE 40)
>Megajolt ingnition timing
>3TC inox exhaust manifold and full inox exhaust
And that's about it. The thing is: I'm not rich. And I can't inverst 1500$/€ into mods.
That's why i'm also considering a swap:
4AGE, but finding the rights parts to do it is a Nightmare in france: AA63 motor mounts, AE86 gearbox...
And that's all for that long post.
Thanks in advance
