Similar rally Celicas with round headlights i believe won championships in Portugal. My first car was the 1981 GT 22R motor , front air scoop, rear louvres and wing. I still proudly own my baby!❤
152E TRD Race Engine. I own 9 of these engines including the IMSA Celica GTU engine and the DOME twin turbo engine. One of these engines is in my 1973 Toyota TE27 Corolla Levin rally car. Amazing power output!
Yeah, I had an RA 29 mustang-esque Celica with the modded 18RG you know, home made header, Dellortos, HKS 288 intake cam, stock 4-bbl 273 smallblock V8 Chrysler pistons and reworked 1.88" intake valves with BMW valve springs and new but lightened 22R flywheel with its new but stock bolts. What a delight to rev and drive. 9k in the first two gears, top speed from 121mph stock in fourth to 133mph in fifth at 8k rpm on little 225/50-13 tires. My my, 38 years has passed already and so quick!
I saw this rally and this car got absolutely no love from the folks at Goodwood it only got shown for a total of 5 seconds but it did very well during the entire series.

Oh wow Mike Muniz! You are a legend, your collection of cars is great :D
That’s a nice looking car, i had a 1980 Celica with the 2tg in it was a great car, wouldn’t mind another one be worth a lot of money now
Finally! An RA40 Celica video!!!
Looks like a fun car to drive. Enough power, enough tires...
Wow. Awesome interview, awesome car, but that onboard at the end - mwah!
He really isn't hanging about!
Superb! Many years ago in NZ, I owned a mint 1981JDM RA45 with 18R-GEU + W50 - it's the car I most regret selling.
I have an ra40 1.6L 2T engine , 1980 coupé. I'm still working on it but soon will be on the streets ! 💪🏽
