had no idea these cars had the same engine in my Toyota truck. I guess I'm closer to Takumi status than I thought.

>>15985495
Also I must ad. As someone who daily drives with this engine these cars must be slow as shit. It's amazing what used to be considered a sports car compared to today.

>>15985499
Well the cars were much lighter, that helps a lot.

I have one (an '85 GT-S), it is. That being said, it's not painfully slow like some cars (Like say an old diesel Mercedes) where you actually struggle to get on the freeway or something, but it's definitely not fast.

10K is definitely too much. The Celicas are not collectible, it's the Supras that are. Also, that's not even the GT-S (GT-S was the top trim with IRS, 4-wheel discs, fender flares, sweet 8-way adjustable seats shared with the Supra).

Actually it's not as light as you might think. Curb weight is roughly 2,700 lbs. Definitely a light car by today's standards, but not as light as say the AE86 (Which I think are like 2,300 or 2,400 lbs

>10k for old ass Celica
>8k for 74 beetle
>20k for a 1928 Ford Model A

What the fuck is the dealer doing?
He's going to have these cars sitting forever in his warehouse/lot like this, space better reserved for other inventory

>>15985729
The IRS was slower than the SRA though

>>15985740
It could be a money laundering thing or cover. So they actually don't want to sell cars.

>>15985782
Would still rather have the IRS though.

If you're curious, here's the weight difference (I have the '85 Celica brochure):
GT-S liftback: 2714lbs
GT liftback: 2551lbs

>blew manifold to exh gasket doing hurricane skids

>developed a misfire

>sounds like it has a fucking cam in it

pre 85 celicas are rwd so people think that they are ae86

>>15988006
The manifold gasket on my truck has a leak as well. I think it sounds cool because I have shit taste so I'm not worried about it.

...which is what I tell myself because when I tried to replace it I broke one of the bolts off and now its flush with the block forever and there is nothing I can do.

Thankfully mine isn't misfiring.

Drill...the bolt out? Why not just do the job right instead of fucking around?
