edit: DAMN! that's a pretty truck!
Those RWD Celicas are a blast! Sounds like you really loved driving yours! Yeah, right into the back of a truck. Unfortunately mine's a money pit, and I can't find enough time to work on it. The motor's been apart for almost a year now, but it should be really mean once it's rollin'... it better be or a new Honda ski will take it's place!pafixitman said:Very nice truck and...I may be the only one to add sweet Celica! The first time I ever drove one was a '85 GTS 'vert from Balto to Ft. Myers. We were at the Fla. line in 12 hrs! I had an '84 GT until I put it under the rear of a '70 C30 tow truck @ 80 mph. (Yes, was involved )
Thanks man, I lucked out and got the truck from the original owner who lives in the dry part of Oregon and got it trailered here. The only rust was from the inferior body work Centurion did on the roof when they joined the F350 & Bronco. I tackled the roof repair a couple of weeks ago, man that was alot of work. I wish I had a garage to keep it in...rancherman84 said:sweet truck john,gotta love those southern no rust trucks

That snorkel is restrictive and while moving you won't need to worry about airflow. I took mine off and I can hear the air moving more. The Banks exhaust should flow just fine if it was added with the turbo. Get the usual set of gauges (pyro, boost and water temp.), then you can increase fuel and boost.

Just wait, we will help turn the truck into a money pit also!

My truck? A money pit? What makes you say that?
pafixitman said:You had to show me that! Mine was champagne w/ a brown gut. The 'vert I helped drive to Fla. was red w/ grey. Dang!
