1972 18RC / 8RC HYBRID (Tired bottom end + new HI-COMPRESSION 8RC HEAD + big WEBBER CARB = lasted maybe a month.

1974 GT-CLICA (with a screaming , tire smoking, 18RG that would tach to 8000 RPM's all day long. My 1st eng SWAP)

there's quite a few of us around... and our numbers seem to be growing as more find others with these cars.

pay close attention when you're out on the roads... you just might find one of us out cruising our Celicas!

Yup mine was out there for a little bit tonight as well. My Buddy Rick took his Daughter out for a ride around the block.
