      Hey, @Larry Chen, I was wondering if you could get a 1970 Toyota Celica 2000 GT and stuff in either a 4.5 L V8 3UZ-FE engine or a 5.7 L V8 3UR-FE with a heavily modified Magnuson superhcarger kit under the hood, as well as all of the changes to make it as powerful as its NASCAR-spec engine that was (and possibly still is) used in the Toyota Camry, please? Alternatively, could you please stuff a heavily modified Nissan V8 powered 5.6 L VK56DE engine that is a hybrid of the one that has been used in the Nissan GT-R GT1, and the one that has been used in the Australian V8 Supercrars Racing series spec version of the Nissan Altima, under the hood of the 1970 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R Hatsuoka, the 1970 Datsun 240Z/1970 Nissan Fairlady Z, the 1972 Nissan Sunny 1200 GX-5, the 1973 Datsun Laurel 200L, or a 1972 Nissan Cedric 2000GL? Thank you.

      @Pat Ball sorry bud that's incorrect. I'm actually building a 1uzfe 32valve dohc 4.0 liter from a 00 gs400 in my 77 Toyota Celica liftback . And there's actually a lot more clearance than you think minus the room for headers with the steering gearbox. Which is why we convert to a rack and pinion. His engine with that intake and crazy manifolds didn't fit at all they even ran exhaust through the body. My exhaust will exit downward and out the back of the car like normal

    • @freestyleskyline
      @freestyleskyline 4 роки тому

      @Pat Ball also my liftback is the same geometry as the coupe in the video. Minor difference in the engine bay being physically longer by about an inch or 2 but width-wise they are the same although the shock tower bolt patterns are different

    Real nice. Excellent workmanship. Glad to see Celica's getting a little recognition.
    I have had many Toyotas over the decades. I still have my first one purchased in 75. It is the 1975 Celica Coupe St with 43,000 mi. On it. AZ car until 2006. I drive it every couple weeks but it mostly stays in the hanger. I also have my 76 GT liftback. It has over 700,000 mi. It's last engine upgrade was a V12 from a Toyota century. Mild engine work it's putting out around 550 very reliable streetable HP
    And I still have my 80 Hilux long bed 4 x 4. It has a stroked stage 3 22r 5 speed and Marlin crawler. With 529 gears on 40 in tall tires with 9 in of lift. I purchased all these new. And I had many others in between as well. Some I wish I still had.
    I do have a 43 Willys with a 22R in it also.

      @Ozarkprepper643 2 роки тому

      You got that right parts are rare. Good glasses is difficult. I only drive the 75 about two miles every other week. Otherwise it lives in the hanger. It only has 43,000 mi. The 76 GT lift back has over 700,000 mi. Instrument panel was cracked all around the gauges. Couldn't find one so I recast it in fiberglass and then did wood veneer. I put a subframe under the whole car. And it has Mustang control arms spindles and hubs. A 8-inch narrowed rear end. Yeah I put tubs in it. But I still fiberglassed nice flares. They come straight down forming a mud flap like the old vans did. but with a smoother transition from the flare to the body making it all one piece. Did that to the front also and it's molded into the front spoiler It now has the century V12 with Six-speed. I only did mild engine work to it although these engines have been known to put out 1500 + hp. That car had been through hell! I used to drift with it throughout the 80s.

Can't tell if it's an artist release piece, or something canned from a license-free package or something, of the kind often used on YT vids; I gotta know! Also, need it even be said, that is such a cool and pro build, so much attention to detail in every aspect, and such obviously top-quality custom work, I mean, Great Gilgamesh, that engine bay, that dashboard, that shifter....gotta love it!! They should set up somewhere and charge $100 for like 3 laps around a short windy track... They'd double what they spent on it in no time! Guys would be lined up for it!!

    I love the way they've kept the aged patina and enhanced its longevity with the satin clear and old graphics. So brilliant. Definitely my idea of a weekend club car would be something looking underwhelming but QUICK

    I wound up looking at Blasphemi in the background more than the guy or his car any time it was visible, haha! Cool build, I was expecting it to be all Toyota with like a built 5.7 Toyota truck motor or something, but hey, the LS is still king, so this is cool too!

    So this is a great car... yea. But to me right now I think it's jus a toy. They NEVER started it! So it's jus a car with some different engine in it.... too bad. Bet it woulda sounded awesome!!

    What if Toyota brought back the celica with retro styling all squared off or whatever Camaro, Mustang, or Challenger but true to size like 2/3rds the size of those cars man they'd sell the shit out of those.

    A 2JZ would have been much better putting a V8 in a Toyota is just a violation. Why does everyone think you need a V8 to get power it's beyond me

    The car is cool but the owner built ones the best. Seems like this guys is rich or a tech guy and paid other people to build the car for him.

    Shoulda gone with a Toyota motor much easier fit pick your HP you can have anything you want up to 1200hp in a celica. Beautiful build tho!

    not TA28, 28's are liftbacks, that's a coupe, even build plate says RA21. 21's are coupes.

    big deal, more than 20 years ago , people were tossing 308 holden v8 or 350 small block chevs (before LS series) into these old celicas for general road use in Australia

    It really doesn't need a big V8 to do well on a track.. it's a high dollar build, that is made to look like a garage build... I give it a 7 out of 10☢️

    Interesting note that when talking about the engine vs body color at the 6.00 min mark the Bilstein booth in the background uses the same colors...

      You could be surprized here. The car weighs about nothing, driven like an average human being would, a Corvette which is heavier than this can get up to 30 miles to the gallon on the highway.
