1977 Toyota Celica Gt Liftback With Aluminum Lexus 1uz V8, Many Other Upgrades on 2040-cars
Charleston, South Carolina, United States
|
I am Putting my custom 1st gen Celica out there for sale. Its a very nice little car and has had a lot of work put into it. Below is a list of modifications.
Engine and Trans: Fuel injected 4.0 Alluminum V8 from a 1992 Lexus SC400. Engine has All new gaskets, new starter, and fresh red powdercoating. Custom built wire harness and fuse block with all refernce material provided. Rebuilt Lexus 4 speed Auto trans converted to slip yoke tail shaft, W/ 2600 stall converter, 1969 Camaro auto shifter. Aluminum radiator with Flex-a-lite electric fan. All new fuel system, Braided AN lines, Billet fuel filter, MSD fuel injection pump, Poly fuel cell mounted under rear of car. Exhasut is 2' primary factory headers with Stainless magnaflow Y collector into 3" all the way back to Greddy Ti Muffler. Engine is equipped with the original Lexus A/C compressor, and the celica originally came with A/C, so all or the major components are there to make the A/C work, but it is missing the A/C hoses, and the condensor. Has remote mounted oil filter kit with upgraded high pressure oil hoses. Ask if there is anything else you have questions about. Rear Differential: Chevy 12 bolt originally from a 1972 Chevelle. Heavily built up, Moser axles W/ long studs, Olds big bearing ends/C-clip eliminators, Mark Williams spool, Richmond 4.56 Pro gears, Aluminum rear cover. Note: The gears are noisy, I would switch them out for street gears if car was to be driven frequently. Still running Drum brakes. Has custom driveshaft with toyota front u-joint and chevy rear u-joint. Suspension and Steering: Front short stroked coil over AE86 struts with new KYB inserts, cut rear springs. AE86 front subframe conversion with Power Rack & Pinion steering (New Reman Rack and new custom high pressure line with AN fittings). Has Negative camber roll center adjusters in front to compensate for the vehicle being lowered. The front camber is -3 degrees. It could be changed back to a normal camber spec if you wished to do so by changing to a standard roll center adjuster. But honestly the negative camber fits this car very well. I had the front AE86 Corolla hubs re-drilled to 5 lug pattern, it works for now, but I would plan on doing the Aerospace components 5 lug prostreet brake kit. It would offer better performance and flare. Body and paint: Fresh Paint, Frost Lime Green from 1969 Camaro. Shaved parking lights, shaved gas door, shaved USDM rear bumper holes, shaved side vents, shaved oem mirror mounts, fitted with sport mirrors. All new front, rear, and side window seals installed during the paint process, so no need to worry about paint bubbling up around tape lines and such. it was done correctly. The car has been fitted with Australian market all steel Front and rear bumpers. The front bumper has been painted a couple times and is currently gloss black, looks nice, does not have any rust issues. Has the original Australian market front bumper steel filler panels, and bumper brackets and lights. The rear bumper is original chrome, but has been damaged/repaired in the past. it has a lot of dings. It fits the body lines fine, but would need to be refurbished to be up to par with the rest of the car. Interior: OMP racing seat. Custom Sparco quick release steering hub and sport wheel. All other interior is original and about a 5/10, it looks ok, but could use redoing. The original dashpad was badly cracked. It was removed and a dashcap put in its place. I still have the original dashcap and it will come with the car. Wheels: Immaculate vintage Appliance Dia-Mags circa 1977. I took these out of the original packaging myself and they are perfect. 15x7 front, 15x8.5 rear. Nice Falken tires in rear. Could use new front tires though, they were used when I put them on, and they are not great. They cause a shake at freeway speeds. The shake was not there before putting those tires on. Although this car is not 100% restored yet, it is very presentable and it shows well at the local car show. It gets a lot of attention and makes a great conversation piece. I have put a lot of work into this car and its a lot of fun. Its actually quite popular in the 1st Gen Celica community. Theres not many V8 Celicas out there, here's your chance to have one at an excellent price. Please email me if you have any questions at all. The car is Located in Charleston, South Carolina and I have a clean title in hand. It is still on an Arizona Title as I just recently moved to South Carolina. Here is a short video clip on youtube of the car driving. http://youtu.be/S7sUaj8b6CA This video is to show that the car is fully drivable and to also give some insight into the rear end whine that can be heard in the beginning of the video. Thanks for looking. |

BMW i5 returns as next rumored i Project vehicle
Thu, Sep 17 2015Hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle enthusiasts may want to give each other some high-fives when they hear the latest news about BMW's reputed i5. The German automaker has been rumored to be on the verge of expanding its i brand beyond its i3 battery-electric and i8 plug-in hybrid cars for a long while. The latest rumors say that BMW could be working on a hydrogen-powered i5 crossover. BMW is in the "final stages of consideration" of expanding the sub-brand, Bloomberg News says, citing comments BMW executive Ian Robertson made this week at the Frankfurt Motor Show. There may be more light-weighting efforts, and an alternative powertrain is sure to be in order, but there are few details beyond that. BMW of North America spokeswoman Rebecca Kiehne declined to comment to AutoblogGreen. Since 2013, BMW has worked with Toyota on hydrogen fuel-cell drivetrains and might further expand that relationship, MarketWatch says, citing BMW financial chief Friedrich Eichiner. The two automakers have already worked together on a prototype BMW 5 Series sedan with a hydrogen-powered engine. That car was unveiled this summer. Earlier this year, we heard reports about an i5 that would actually be a hybrid-electric vehicle of sorts, and an extremely powerful one. That rumored vehicle – again some sort of modified 5 Series – would actually contain one gas-powered engine and two electric motors, all combining for more than 540 horsepower. If these latest rumors turn out to be true, they would mark a change in things, but we won't be surprise if we hear yet another version of what the i5 will be before it's all said and done.

Watch this cement truck roll into Toyota minivan from driver's point of view
Thu, 10 Apr 2014If you've been having an easy day and haven't received your daily dose of unmitigated terror, then this video is for you. Dr. Guan Zhu, a Texas A&M professor, caught the above view on his dashcam in College Station, TX, as a cement truck ran a red light, lost control and rolled into his Toyota Sienna minivan.
Although he received only minor injuries, Dr. Zhu says that he blacked out during the accident. The truck driver also avoided serious injuries, and the Sienna took the hit rather well too. Scroll down to watch the footage and report from KBTX. Hopefully, this is as close anyone else ever gets to a terrifying event of this nature.
