Hey you know a guy name Henry that builds motors, lives in Poinciana, has a blue Rx-7 sitting in his driveway on flat Mickey Thompson's mounted on supras?

Here is my Old skool toyrota ! It's a 69 toyota corolla With a 13b (91) engine Streetport. It's not a R-100 or Rx-2 but it's close enough for me.

Nice looking car. Why is it so high in the front? Is the engine out in that pic? Give us some more pics of the engine bay, etc. I like it.

Actually, the engine is installed at this point ! Toyota corolla from 66-70 have a side ways leaf spring in front, to go along with the poor designed struts. I had the leaf spring cut out now and up-graded the front struts with Toyota Starlet struts and coil over.

My 75 Repu with a 20R motor and tranny swap thanks to the original owner. This is the only decent pic I have for right now until I can get more

He even painted over the giant "ROTARY POWER" letters on the back! This is a sacrilege!

naaa... previous owner just figured out that rotaries aren't reliable long-term compared to the 20r he shoved in. plus, the 20r probably has more torque

Heh, I hope you're kidding. Even without pro-rotary bias, the 20R is just plain worse than the 13B. Well, except maybe for emissions.

Yeah I thought that sucked too. From what I understand, he blew the original 4 port and either it was too expensive to rebuild or buy a new one so he did the swap. The truck is still fun but the 13B is better. it's quick but wouldn't come near cruising at 120 all day like the 13B did. The 20R is leaking oil badly from the front main seal and the transmission. I'll definitely picture ***** when I get more

Thought I would share the latest to my old school ride stable; 1973 Toyota Celica ST. I know, it's not in RX, but I like it anyway. It'll look good next to my RX-4. It's all stock except for the muffler (it'll be changed soon) and the rims, runs great, and the AC even works.

Here is my all stock 1974 RX4

She is all stock with 33000 original miles. Original to the paint on every pannel and muffler. No scratches, dings, dents, paint fading or rust. The interior is also all original and like new. She is the same as the day she left the dealer in 74.

Hello,

I bought it this past fall from the original old lady. Lets just say that while she was in her 90's her mind was all there and she was not giving it away. It was worth it to me and not cheap.
