This is as far as I can read: Quote: The G Whiz A slick TA22 Toyota Celica with 1G twin-turbo power! Words by Michael Knowling Think of Celica's nowadays and you'll likely come up with AWD GT4s or the current VTi-L screamer. There was a time, though, when Celica was little more than a good-looking car with a dearth of power and roly-poly handling - that's the early TA-series. Some thirty odd years after it rolled off the production line, though, this TA22 (the earliest Celica model ever imported to Australia) has undergone some major character changes.... Eddy Koimanis picked up this blue beauty about eight years ago "as a beaten up stocker that was ready to go to the wreckers." It's just as well Eddy was there to save the day. You see, Eddy had already owned a TA-series Celica with an imported 3T-GTEU 1.8-litre turbomotor in it. As you might imagine, adding more than 100 horsepower to the standard 80-odd horsepower output ensures the rear-drive Celica is a bundle of fun to pedal! The new acquisition initially followed in the footsteps of Eddy's other Celica. The standard 1500cc 2T mill was torn out and replaced by a 3T-GTEU 1.8-litre DOHC turbo and, while he was at it, he followed through with a full body tear down and bare metal respray. The colour that hides those naked panels is "Lagoon Blue" - 70 percent blue pearl and 30 percent lilac. Eddy did all the work himself at home - as he says "not bad for a concreter by trade..." End Quote. So I guess it could be SIKTOY but I don't think it is besides the guys name is "Eddie" not Aurthur ! Here the pics I can see : So now everone is interested in this lead tipped missile we all have to fork out $3 at Autospeed and have a read ! [Report message to a moderator]
