old school road tests... Fri, 12 December 2003 06:11 Go to next message
okay y'all....

ive been digging through many of dads 25 year old car magazines, and it has road tests of many smooth toyotas....off the top of my head, there is:

RA60 Celica Hatch
RA60 Celica Coupe
SA63 Celica
ST182 Celica Coupe (3S-FE)
RA23 Celica

um, a few cressida/crown thingmebobs...

so let me know if you're car is between roughly 1978-1985 and if you're interested i may have a road test for you.... scanned of course


Very Happy

I have a copy of a CAR AUSTRALIA magazine from 1989.

It includes a comparison and review of the Mazda 929 and the MX83 Cressida.

In the same mag they compare the 1989 Mazda RX7 Turbo against the Toyota Supra (7M-GTE).

And have a large article about the 1998 Car of Australia (sports car category)... The Toyota Celica.

What model code was the Supra in 1989 with the 7M-GTE?
The 1988 Celica 2.0L?

Those are the ones I have articles on.

I sent a whole bunch of scans to Intensevil today.

There you go... over 2 hours of scanning and emailing went into those. Damn hotmail won't allow attachments over 1Meg. Mad

I thought the 1989 prices might be interesting too. Smile

That's ok... If you read the Cressida vs 929 one, the main thing they don't like about the Cressida is it's looks... They said shit like, "the 929 had a more prestigious look about it... It looked like a Mercedes unlike the Cressida which was dull and boring." Look at the 929... FUCKING UGLY AS...!!!

Yeah, I've got heaps of those mags at home. I think I've got one from 1969 with a Corona with a 10R engine in it. They're so interesting to read.
