Hi all,

Long time toyota fan, CCC lurker... Currently residing in sunny socal. I currently have a 74 GT in the works, I also used to own a 78 and 79 18RG powered celica's. Will have pix of those cars soon.

Welcome tten! Love the yellow on your car...

Thanks lisasdecals!

Well, after a long time, I finally got my car running!!!

Took out the 18RG and replaced with 3TC (A Lighter practical motor, in my opinion)
18RG's and 2TG's are great motors, but parts are getting very expensive...

Still has a few bugs, but other than that, it's alive!!!

Put a couple of pix...

Hi dalta23,

Thanks for the kind comments, my celica was originally an RA model. with 18RC and later 18RG motor.

Just out of curiousity, what are you doing with said 18rg?
anyways welcome aboard to a wealth of knowledge and knowhow!

Thanks Kylehugo, unfortunately I sold my all my 18RG's..........

I decided to go 3TC because of it's durability, simplicity and practicality... On the plus side, 3TC's have incredible performance potential, and responds well to simple modifications.

Again, thanks for the kind welcome..........
