Hi guys, This is a remastering of a video from early 2023. Old content, nice new audio. Thanks for the support.

i admire the commitment to revert to OEM here

[@HobTecCars]

Thanks a lot. It's a fantastic car that will be kept for future generations if I make it OEM. (It will be also worth more)
Check out the new OEM wheels I bought for it in my latest SHORT

I got hold of a jdm gen 7 Celica 2zz was going to use it for another mr2 engine swap. But i found it has a lower lift point ecu and a lsd as standard. I got it home found its too good to scrap . Its now my daily funny enough i bought it with the cat stolen i used a spare mr2 cat i had hanging about and funnily enough i put leather interior in and binned the cloth.

How tou finding the car? Is it a daily driver ?

[@HobTecCars]

Thanks for the comment. I've a few cars so it isn't a daily driver. It's a Spring / Summer driver really. I drive about 800 miles a year in it. I love driving it. Its a very comfortable car and good surfaced roads and it's a pure joy to control around bendy B roads.

@@HobTecCars ok mate, I'm looking at one that needs some work, like a complete respray, so thinking about pulling the trigger currently!

[@HobTecCars]

@@fghjjjk Is it a 2zz-ge engine?

[@fghjjjk]

@@HobTecCars no the 140, red, so the paintwork isn't too good,.would ultimately need a respray I think
