9000rpm in a ‘77 Toyota Celica. Is an F22c the Perfect Celica Motor Swap?

  • This right here is a car built off of a seat. Yep, you heard that right. Midnight Purple Pearl looks. When Peter Vong got his hands on a set of super rare Bride seats, he knew he needed to put them in something worthy of the rareness. And that car is an RA24 Toyota Celica - one of the finest examples of old school JDM muscle. And powering it is a Honda F22c (out of an AP2 S2000) slathered in neochrome in an engine bay shaved to unreal levels of cleanliness.

      Boys i'm from Europe.. That little midnight purple-blue Toyota modified like that with S2000 parts less than 300 pony horses is way too sweet..
      any car guy gotta love it so much.. the stance, the look inside-out +engine bay the way it goes.. Full RESPECT it's definitely, made with a lot of passion.. ;0)

I convinced my dad to get and s2000 which he still has to this day. I drive it to this day and my son loves the s2000. This car is amazing.

      @@bobbg9041 They must have kept making coupes. The brochures only show the hatchs later on but I personally have a ST 74 that is actually a 73 version of the car but I'm pretty sure it was built before they shifted to making the 74 version. Course it's got 3 cars on it so it might not be an ST and I don't know if it was auto or manual atm, I'll likely find out sometime tho.

    Love that Cilica!
    I am fortunate to still have my 75 Celica St. I drive it very little has 43,000 original miles. And remains mostly stock.
    I also have a 76 Celica GT liftback. It has a stock rear window louver, much larger ducktail spoiler, molded in front spoiler, and fender flares coming straight down in back into mud flaps, much like the older vets. "Or vans" I am in the process of putting in a Toyota century V12 with 6-speed. This car has had various engines over the years and it has well over five hundred thousand miles on it. Only wish I still had my 76 Hilux double cab 1 ton with the dualies it was a 77 I do have an 80 4 x4. I'm old-school so it sits on a 7in Skyjacker suspension with 37" tires 5:29 gears, air lockers front and rear. And a 2nd Marlin crawler low range to Double double Down. It has a stroked 22R with large valves and ported head.
    I love Toyotas. All these vehicles I purchased new decades ago. As well as many others over the years.
    Like you, "if it has wheels I'm interested", from my old tractors to my airplanes. LOL
