Now please pardon the shift in brand.
Ill have a link some stage soon to the appropriate site for the continuation of this cars build and development.
Its a 1973 Toyota Celica Ta22
It has a 4cyl 2.0l engine from a ST215 Caldina GTT (the ugly station wagons).
Engine is totally stock internally.
All power adders are external.
The chassis has heaps of work done to it, coil overs Bilstein and Carrera rears.
Camber, castor plates, bushes, Evo 8 brakes, LSD...
It has 400hp at the rears, it weighs complete all fluids/fuels 1060kg.
TD06-25G turbo, 800cc injectors, Link G4 ECU, Elec water pump, elec boost control etc...
It will teach me plenty about what driveability Im after in the zed.
This car requires some work before Im completely happy with it.
Car is completely legal and engineered.
Collection location
Not ready for the PepperTree just yet
Just to state the obvious, I didnt build this car. I bought it as is.
I will start mucking about with it. It will be kept driveable while I put the zed together.
Other random car shots that were in the same location as the collected TA22,
FD3S race car 550hp @ wheels,
Corvette, engine blew up soon after purchase, go figure...
1UZFE & GT35R would work well....
To replace the love of the TA22, try a Datsun 1200 instead,
12A PP, mid mounted, flat floor = lovely car!

Don't get distracted get the 240 finished!
Celica nice but not the wheels -- too modern.
Sunny - I reckon that would be a fun track car. Love the arches and wheels, great position for the engine.
Corvette - wow!

Ooh yes baby, now that is a proper weapon. Love the stance and set up! This has given me naughty thoughts
TA22 needs to loose those large diameter wheels,...apart from that perfect

I'm assuming this is not a problem with our website but that the 'poster' has exceeded his Photobucket account.
I just knew that as soon as T....a pictures were posted it would cause a problem :lol:

Ok people,
Xmas grinch here waited until xmas day before Photobucket releases pictures, bandwidth exceeded blah blah.
Teach me for buying a toyota.
I was chasing a 2008 cbr1000 for an hour pushing him around some windy roads on the way to the holiday home, knocking sound, then BOOM !
Large holes in both sides of the block.
I have purchased a forged long block with cams to install next week. Apart from that its all go on the zed still. Never forgotten here.
Merry xmas, hope your enjoying the frozen conditions...
bloody hot here, ok ok enough..

Since owning the Toyota, I have been driving around like a hooligan.
I was chasing a motorbike - newish CBR1000 from Kopu to Hahei turn off, before the tick tick time bomb went off, 20kms later (100m before the Whitianga town sign) the rod from cyl 1 went through both sides of the block spitting sufficient oil out to cause a fire on the turbo side.
I put the fire out with cabin mounted extinguisher and drank the three cold beers still in storage on the back seat.
The biker was in some shock as to what the f**k was following him at those speeds.
I had to laugh so as not to cry.
Engine out, new 2 piece rotors and new pads ordered, new engine arriving this week, light flywheel etc etc. It should be together by next weekend.
SO now that car 3 is down, back to car 2.
Now the GF has flown the coup, I have no more excuses.
Begin then!
Thanks Glenn Martin for the crane ! Enjoy the vinos and the smelly nappies!
All I need in the garage that reads over 30 deg Celsius in the day
Note the welded up water pump, it runs the housing but nothing inside. The electric pump same as the toyota will do the pumping and job of the thermostat.
New cambelt, idlers tensioners etc. Timing needs looking at later.
Apparently good for 400ps, we will see about this. Copper mix, should be driveable though.
Light Cro-mo flywheel from Japan
Replace and clean up thrust bearing and fork in gbox completed

We have a problem. As per usual, change one thing buggers up everything else. Im sure I said this before. The new frame rails had a slight kink in them increasing the overall width between them. The new ones dont, so the radiator needs to be chopped and re-welded at the lower end. Thanks Hayley for the welder use approaching. More wine required.
The above shots and work were completed over a period from 8am until 4am on the zed. One long drunken shift.
The toyota will absorb some time this week when all the parts turn up so wanted to fulfill the promise of getting the engine in the zed at least before going back to work Monday.
Happy New Year to all, make the most of it, life is short.

This thread has been pretty amazing to read through!
You've done some amazing work on the car, and it looks fantastic! I'd finish getting this done before getting back to the Celica, much as I love the Celica too! The one thing I dislike is the size of the wheels - drop down 1" and get some dish and I think it'll look fantastic!
The Hell pizza brings back memories of when I was in CC too - I had so much fun in NZ!
