Norbie,

You beat me to it Smile!

Your right the RA25 Liftback was a Japan only 18R-x powered Liftback. It was released in April 1973 and was made up until September 1975.

During the same time frame they also made the TA27 Liftback as the name suggests it was 2T-x powered and was for the Japan Market only.

Both cars were available in LT, ST and GT spec. The GT series haveing the appropriate Twin cam engines.

I'm honestly not sure if both had the TA22 front end, I beleive the TA27 did but not sure about the RA25.

The RA35 Liftback definatly had the xA23/28 style front end.

Damn I would love a TA27 ! Anyone want to import me one ?


The TA22 and the RA23 were completely different cars. Whilst a good number of parts cen be interchanged very few are the same.

It really is best to try and get anybits you want off the same model. Rear end bits generally fit. RA23 and TA22 bumbers do not always interchnge. (not sure hwat the go here is, My ta22 will not take a RA23 bar but Norbie has had experience to the contrary :)- Might be a year model thing)

As a basic rundown the RA23 was the "upgraded" Celica. It got fatter (heavier, not wider) and longer but also benefited from the following:

# Bigger Front Brakes with Dual Circuit Master Cylinder. (Also Longer Stuts and a higher ride height)
# Bigger brake booster
# Increased Front wheel track
# 14" rims not 13"
# Side Intrusion Bars in doors
# Larger seat mounting points
# Intermitant Wipers
# Impoved heater system


Thats some of the better things, the list of changes tho is a good deal longer than the list of similarities.
