How do they go power wise?

good stuff dude, shame on the auto haha but they go ok with manual (i have an 83 ra60 manual) for my first car

yours must be a fully equipped one being auto and power steering ( im jealous of the power steering)
:thumbup:
keep the 60 front tho imo they look better, i hated it at the start when i first got mine but it grows on ya and 60 fronts are getting rare ive heard

anyway gl man

yeah 15x8 i think would be perfect, i'm thinking superlites or original celica mesh. But it needs too look low-key and tasteful.

15x8 on the front 15x10 on the rear. it can and should be done

Nice ride, how'd you find one with 45,000KM's? Price?

I've got an RA65 Auto myself, the options in it are pretty good still lasting on original A/C & power steering is awesome. The 22RE has a bit more power, accelerates nicely in traffic as I'm always overtaking etc. How does the Auto 21RC or is it totally gutless?

Get some MA61 seats while you're at it.

Not amazing but not bad for it's age. i think i might be restoring it now, changed my mind (i think) so will go. -fix everything, Original celica meshies. nana spec everything i think.. only because it is soo mint not sure if i could feel good about it if i killed it.

man there are plenty off these and they arnt exactly something that people are chasing so I personally wouldn't be hesitant to modify it

Zach

Yeah but with the amount km's. i also have a driveway on a silly angle, so i can't go that low :( so i might just restore it, and keep it original then sell it.

i'd just sell it as is, it's not going to be worth much more as an absolute minter than it is now, although the restoration excersise should be fun

Zach
19th June 2010, 11:48 AM
yeah that was the hole point of it was to restore this. and my lady and i are going to build something else

if you going to put time into restoring a car it should be something old school. like 70s or even late 60s toyota.

you could restore this. but tbh a stock ra60 aint turning any heads. restore a datsun, ke1X ke2X or even a ta22 and you will. plus i'd say you would have a lot more fun.

my missus just bought a datsun sunny. i think I'm not so much restore just clean up.. not sure if we are going to go nuts on the sunny, or build a hot rod/kustom or something like that yet.
